Review " The Matchmaker's Replacement by Rachel van Dyken'

Wingman rule number two: never reveal how much you want them.

Lex hates Gabi. Gabi hates Lex. But, hey, at least the hate is mutual, right? All Lex has to do is survive the next few weeks training Gabi in all the ways of Wingmen Inc. and then he can be done with her. But now that they have to work together, the sexual tension and fighting is off the charts. He isn’t sure if he wants to strangle her or throw her against the nearest sturdy table and have his way with her.

But Gabi has a secret, something she’s keeping from not just her best friend but her nemesis too. Lines are blurred as Lex becomes less the villain she’s always painted him to be…and starts turning into something more. Gabi has always hated the way she’s been just a little bit attracted to him—no computer-science major should have that nice of a body or look that good in glasses—but “Lex Luthor” is an evil womanizer. He’s dangerous. Gabi should stay far, far away.

Then again, she’s always wanted a little danger.

Review
I really loved this book. It was really funny.  

What is this book about 
This book is the second in the Wingman Inc series. Lex is the co-owner of the company. Gabi is a good friend of Ian ( we see some of her in the first book) and she is the new employee. The thing is Gabi and Lex don't get along at all, not one bit. They argue all the time. Well and they have major sexual attraction towards each other, if they both just shut up they get along just fine. The thing is all the arguing and fighting is just hiding how they actually feel about each other. Can they refrain from killing each other long enough to see beyond that? And will Ian, who see's Gabi as his little sister who he has to protect, ever accept that there might be more than dislike and fighting between Lex and Gabi? 

What did I love about his book
I loved the chemistry between Lex and Gabi. It was off the charts. I really liked the dynamic of the book and the story. It was really funny and easy going. 

Review "Killer Queen by L.H. Cosway"

Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome…

Come inside The Glamour Patch club to see the star of our show, Miss Vivica Blue. 

Do you want to read my diary you nosy little devils? Have a glass of champagne (you’ll need it) and get comfortable because you’re in for some crazy shenanigans brought to you straight from the horse’s mouth.

I can be whatever you want me to be: boy, girl, a little bit of both.

If you have a problem with a man in a dress then best be off with you. If males in make-up give you the willies, then I’ll sayau revoir and don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

So, who are we left with? Ah, a fine collection of curious souls. I want to tell you a tale of love, because those are the most glorious kind. I want to tell you about real love, a love that transcends labels and gender stereotypes.

The moment I first laid eyes on my Freda I knew that we were kindred. Well okay, I also knew I wanted to get into her pants, but that’s beside the point. My world was a grey place. I was at my lowest ebb. Then she came along and patches of colour began to spring forth. One day the daffodils were yellow and before I knew it, colour was everywhere, lighting up my life.

Love is not about how we appear on the outside, it’s about the soul contained within.

Our story was not a conventional one, but it was ours, and that’s what made it shine.

Review

Loved it. I loved reading more about nicholas and getting to know him better. I liked seeing his and freda's story through his eyes. I especially loved the new parts (the befores and the continuation of their story) I must say your reaaaly have to read painted faces first otherwise some scenes and chapters might be confusing.

Review "The fire between High and Lo by Brittainy C. Cherry"

There once was a boy, and I loved him.

Logan Francis Silverstone was the complete opposite of me. I danced while he stood still. He was quiet, and I was always running my mouth. He struggled to find a smile while I refused to frown. 

The night I saw the darkness that truly lived inside of him, I couldn’t look away.

We were broken together, yet somehow whole. We were wrong together, but always right. We were the stars that burned across the night sky, searching for a wish, praying for better tomorrows.

Until the day I lost him. He threw us away with one hasty decision—a decision that changed us forever.

There once was a boy, and I loved him.

And for a few breaths, a few whispers, a few moments, I think he loved me, too

Review

While I absolutely loved the air he breathes ,this book didn't do much for me. I didn't feel that much of a connection with the characters. I feel like it lacked the depth and emotion I felt while reading the air he breathes. That doesn't mean this isn't a good story, that it isn't touching because it is. It's all about confronting your demons and not only conquer them but rise above. That after you feel like you're demons burned you down you rise from the ashes like a phoenix. So as you may guess I really like the message this story has.

Review "Showmance by L.H. Cosway"

Damon Atwood was Hollywood’s golden boy. Having won an Oscar at the tender age of thirteen, he had the life many could only dream about. But his success came at a price, and after a short but fruitful film career, he chose to live a life of obscurity on a remote Scottish island. Almost a decade later he’s finally ready to make his return, starting with a lead role in a musical on London’s West End.

As a choreographer’s assistant, Rose Taylor has always faded into the background. She watches shows come to life from the side lines, but has never craved the attention of stardom. When rumours begin circulating of Damon’s involvement in her latest gig, she doesn’t predict how she will be thrust into the limelight, nor how the mysterious and strangely introverted man will need her to teach him how to be a star again.

Rose knows that show crushes don’t last. Actors fall for each other during the intensity of a production, often losing themselves in their roles. These kinds of affairs burn bright and then they fade. The question is, should Rose let herself shine with Damon, or guard her heart from being broken after the final curtain call?

Review

I absolutely adored Painted Faces and Six of hearts but for me it wasn't as amzing as those. I felt it was a bit to long and lacked the depth and thrill the other books had. It was a nice read and the writing is good. Overall I enjoyed it but didn't fell in love with it or felt connected to the characters.

Review "The Hooker and the Hermit by L.H. Cosway and Penny Reid"

New York’s Finest
Blogging as *The Socialmedialite*
April 22
LADIES AND GENTS! I have an announcement!

You know that guy I featured on my blog a few months ago? The really, really hot Irish rugby player who plays the position of ‘hooker’ in the RLI (Rugby League International)? The one with the anger management issues, the body of a gladiator and the face of a movie star? The one with the questionable fashion choices leading me to ask whether he was the lovechild of a leprechaun and a hobbit? Ronan Fitzpatrick? Yeah, that guy.

Well, I have a confession to make…

THE HERMIT

Annie Catrel, social media expert extraordinaire at Davidson & Croft Media and clandestine celebrity blogger, can make anyone shine in the court of public opinion. She is the Socialmedialite, anonymous creator of New York’s Finest and the internet’s darling. Virtual reality is Annie’s forte, but actual reality? Not so much.

THE HOOKER

Ronan Fitzpatrick, aka the best hooker the world of rugby has seen in decades, despises the media—social or otherwise. The press has spun a web of lies depicting him as rugby’s wild and reckless bad boy. Suspended from his team, Ronan has come to Manhattan to escape the drama, lay low, fly under the radar. Only, Ronan isn’t easy to overlook, and he can’t escape the notice of the Socialmedialite…

THE PLAN

When Ronan is sent to Davidson & Croft Media to reshape his public image, he never expects to cross paths with shy but beautiful Annie, nor does he expect his fierce attraction to her. He couldn’t be happier when her boss suggests pairing them together.

What lengths will Annie take to keep her virtual identity concealed? And what happens when the hooker discovers who the hermit really is?

Review

I really liked this book in the beginning. I liked ronan and I really felt for Annie. I really wanted her to succed. But the thing is over time I grew annoyed by her. She was so so afraid of everything. The thing is I guess I started to, I don't know dislike her, because I'm like that. I'm afraid of living but I like to believe i'm not as bad as her but then again she found love and everything and I haven't. That showed me that fear should't hold you back from living because amazing things can happen when you try. I do believe that if this book was way shorter I would have loved it. For me it felt too long. There was too much unnecessarily stuff going on. It could be a bit shorter but overal I liked it. I  thought that L.H. Cosway was a new favorite of mine but sadly after six of heart, heart of fire and painted faces I didn't love other books by her as much. Well maybe I'll find it again. I'm glad i'm reading again.

Review "The Silent Waters by Brittainy C. Cherry"

Moments.

Our lives are a collection of moments. Some utterly painful and full of yesterday's hurts. Some beautifully hopeful and full of tomorrow's promises.

I’ve had many moments in my lifetime, moments that changed me, challenged me. Moments that scared me and engulfed me. However, the biggest ones—the most heartbreaking and breathtaking ones—all included him.

I was ten years old when I lost my voice. A piece of me was stolen away, and the only person who could truly hear my silence was Brooks Griffin. He was the light during my dark days, the promise of tomorrow, until tragedy found him. Tragedy that eventually drowned him in a sea of memories.

This is the story of a boy and girl who loved each other, but didn’t love themselves. A story of life and death. Of love and broken promises.

Of moments.

Review
Oh my god! what an amazing book this is. I just love it to pieces. It was so touching, emotional, beautiful and just so heartbreakingly good. And the authors note at the end made me tear up all over again.

What is this book about
This book is about Maggie and brooks. Maggie's father married Katie and so her live changed from only having a father to having a mother, little sister and big brother. She also got a new friend, Brooks. At 8 years old she knew she loved brooks and that she'll marry him. She was a very bubbly happy, talkative child until one horrible night changed it al. Maggie didn't talk anymore, didn't leave the house and fear lurked in every corner of her live. Brooks never left her side and promised to be there for her forever . They grew from friends to lovers. That was until his music career picked up and Maggie didn't want to be the anchor that hold him back. Instead she set him free no matter how much she loves him. Will they find a live together full of love or will the past drown them.....

What did I love about this book.
Everything, I just love everything about this book. I love Maggie and loved how strong she remained without her realizing it. I love brooks, he was just amazing, sweet and caring. Very swoonworthy let me tell ya.
I loved she side characters and think it's great we see them grow and change as well.
Overall this is an amazing story! This kind of story, and writing is why I love this author in the first place. It is just as great as the air he breaths. I might love this one even a tiny bit more.

Review "Thief of Hearts by L.H. Cosway"

* ARC received in exchange of an honest review*

Seduce the teacher.
Meet the cousin.
Make a deal.
Steal the painting.

Andrea Anderson has no clue of the thoughts churning around in the dark and dangerous ex-con’s head as he enters her classroom. In fact, she’s momentarily lost for words. Not in her entire teaching career has she had a student who looked quite like Stu Cross.

A widow at just twenty-eight, love is something Andie hasn’t considered a part of her life for a very long time. However, when lingering touches turn to whispered words and hot, searching stares, she begins to wonder if maybe she should take a leap of faith.

But Stu is in her class for a reason, and it has nothing to do with love. He’s there to burrow his way into her life and repay a debt, otherwise his family will suffer. Andie is the first person to show him true kindness since he left prison, and though he doesn’t want to mislead her, he doesn’t have another choice.

Before long, Stu can’t tell whether or not he’s acting anymore, and his feelings for Andie could throw all of his carefully crafted plans into complete and utter disarray.

Review 
I was so happy when I saw this one on my kindle early. I really enjoyed this series in the past, especially Six of Heart and Hearts of Fire. I have to say even though I really liked this book, in my opinion it doesn't come near Six of hearts and hearts of fire. That doesn't mean this book isn't good or I didn't enjoy this book because  I did. 

What is this book all about. 
This book is about Andie and Stu. Andie is a 28 year old teacher who teaches adults. She is very passionate about her job. She cares and is willing to do allot for her students. I really admire that about her. On day Stu enters her classroom as a new student. Sparks fly and stu is showing Andie attention that she hasn't felt in a long time. Stu makes her feel things even her late husband couldn't. But how honest and sincere is that affection. Is stu really in her classroom to study and get his degree or is it something else entirely..

What did I like about this book. 
I like the connection between Stu and Andie. It felt real even though we know Stu's intention from the blurb.  I like how we saw Stu changed through the story, I really liked that. I also love how Andie was so supportive and how she stood by him and believed in him. I noticed how not used to that Stu was so it warmed my heart to see him react to that. 

review "Rule by Jay Crownover"

Opposites in every way . . . except the one that matters 

Shaw Landon loved Rule Archer from the moment she laid eyes on him. Rule is everything a straight--A pre-med student like Shaw shouldn’t want--and the only person she’s never tried to please. She isn’t afraid of his scary piercings and tattoos or his wild attitude. Though she knows that Rule is wrong for her, her heart just won’t listen.

To a rebel like Rule Archer, Shaw Landon is a stuck-up, perfect princess-and his dead twin brother’s girl. She lives by other people’s rules; he makes his own. He doesn’t have time for a good girl like Shaw-even if she’s the only one who can see the person he truly is.

But a short skirt, too many birthday cocktails, and spilled secrets lead to a night neither can forget. Now, Shaw and Rule have to figure out how a girl like her and a guy like him are supposed to be together without destroying their love . . . or each other.
Review

This is the second time I've read this book. And I must say I liked it better the second time around. I liked shaw. She seemed like a good and nice girl. I like Rule. He is a very strong guy. He had to deal with allot of though stuff in his life which he didn't deserve. I do feel that this book was a bit to long for me. It felt a bit dragged out at some areas.
