Review "Defiance by C.J. Redwine"

While the other girls in the walled city-state of Baalboden learn to sew and dance, Rachel Adams learns to track and hunt. While they bend like reeds to the will of their male Protectors, she uses hers for sparring practice.

When Rachel's father fails to return from a courier mission and is declared dead, the city's brutal Commander assigns Rachel a new Protector: her father's apprentice, Logan—the boy she declared her love to and who turned her down two years before. Left with nothing but fierce belief in her father's survival, Rachel decides to escape and find him herself.

As Rachel and Logan battle their way through the Wasteland, stalked by a monster that can't be killed and an army of assassins out for blood, they discover romance, heartbreak, and a truth that will incite a war decades in the making.



Review
I'm really gutted about this because I really want to like every book I read but sadly that's not the reality. I didn't like this book. It didn't have much introduction. I felt like I misses some explanation at some points. It didn't bother me in the beginning because It started out interesting and I hope we'd get more background in the chapters following but that wasn't the case. There were some details through in the story that when I've read them it made me think "huh where did this come from". It were details that should have mentions earlier, it should have been at the beginning where the world was set up but since that was missing it felt like the author thought " oh yeah  btw did I mentions this, no, oh well I'll do it now". It was written in a way that made you second guess yourself. 
I didn't find the characters all that interesting. Rachel's badassery was over explained, almost like the author tried to convince us and really make clear that she was a bad ass, when all I saw sometimes was a whiny child. 
The world the characters live in is really sexist really, the woman have no right and can only go anywhere with a guardian.  It didn't really bother me because I wasn't that invested in the story anymore when it came clear that was the situation but It could have worked out better, introduced better, build better. 
For me I think the story overall had potential and it would have been great in my opinion if only it was build up better. If the characters actions spoke for them instead of the author telling us. 

Review "On Dublin Street by Samantha Young"

Jocelyn Butler has been hiding from her past for years. But all her secrets are about to be laid bare…

Four years ago, Jocelyn left her tragic past behind in the States and started over in Scotland, burying her grief, ignoring her demons, and forging ahead without attachments. Her solitary life is working well—until she moves into a new apartment on Dublin Street where she meets a man who shakes her carefully guarded world to its core.

Braden Carmichael is used to getting what he wants, and he’s determined to get Jocelyn into his bed. Knowing how skittish she is about entering a relationship, Braden proposes an arrangement that will satisfy their intense attraction without any strings attached.

But after an intrigued Jocelyn accepts, she realizes that Braden won’t be satisfied with just mind-blowing passion. The stubborn Scotsman is intent on truly knowing her… down to the very soul.
Review
This is the first time I've read anything by Samantha Young and I must say I really liked it. It this the best story I've ever read, no but I enjoyed it allot. I liked the characters but what I loved the most is the setting. I've been to Edinburgh a couple of times and I love it there. I've been to most of the places mentioned in the book so that made it extra special for me.
Even though I got a bit impatient with the characters from time to time it didn't take away from me enjoying the book.

What is this book about. 
This book is about American Josselyn, aka Joss.  Joss has a troubled past. She lost her parents and sister at a young age. After that she locked down. She refuses to deal with any emotions and she doesn't let anyone get close to her. I can really relate to that because we're very similar in that area. Anyhow Joss moved to Edinburgh for collage but stayed after graduation. She's wanting to become a writer and works part time at a bar.
One day she meets confidant and sexy Braden. They were immediately attracted to each other. The second time they meet is one for the books. Joss just moved to a new place with a new roommate, and as it turns out said roomate has a hot brother that has a key. And as you know it, that brother decides to use said key the moment Joss walked out of her bathroom naked....  And yes, that brother is Branden.
This story focuses on Joss journey to overcome her issues and move past her parents death, it focuses on a stubborn male with issues of his own that is determent to help the ones he loves. Braden is someone who gets what he wants, and he wants Joss, every broken piece of her. Will Joss be able to let Braden in or is she so broken that not even Braden can help her put those pieces back together.

What did I like about this book
I liked that the issues that Joss has weren't resolved magically. It took time, as it does in real live. Yes I wanted to smack her in the head sometimes but then I thought I think people might want to do that to me from time to time aahah.
I liked the setting obviously and I liked that the side characters were well developed.  I liked that the side characters added to the story.
Overall I really enjoyed reading this book and I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Expert Reveal "Royally Matched by Emma Chase"

Some men are born responsible, some men have responsibility thrust upon them. Henry Charles Albert Edgar Pembrook, Prince of Wessco, just got the motherlode of all responsibility dumped in his regal lap.

He’s not handling it well.

Hoping to force her grandson to rise to the occasion, Queen Lenora goes on a much-needed safari holiday—and when the Queen’s away, the Prince will play. After a chance meeting with an American television producer, Henry finally makes a decision all on his own:

Welcome to Matched: Royal Edition.

A reality TV dating game show featuring twenty of the world's most beautiful blue bloods gathered in the same castle. Only one will win the diamond tiara, only one will capture the handsome prince’s heart.

While Henry revels in the sexy, raunchy antics of the contestants as they fight, literally, for his affection, it’s the quiet, bespectacled girl in the corner—with the voice of an angel and a body that would tempt a saint—who catches his eye.

The more Henry gets to know Sarah Mirabelle Zinnia Von Titebottum, the more enamored he becomes of her simple beauty, her strength, her kind spirit…and her naughty sense of humor.

But Rome wasn’t built in a day—and irresponsible royals aren’t reformed overnight.

As he endeavors to right his wrongs, old words take on whole new meanings for the dashing Prince. Words like, Duty, Honor and most of all—Love.

EXCERPT

“Are you a virgin?” I ask.

“Well . . . yes.”

“Then why are you complaining? You qualify.”

Sarah’s eyes flash with annoyance. “Because I’m more than my hymen, Henry! To base the value of an accomplished, intelligent woman on a flimsy piece of skin is degrading. How would you feel if your worth rested on your foreskin?”

I think it over. And then I grin. “I’d be all right with that, actually. I’ve heard it was an impressive foreskin—all the nurses were fawning over it. It’s probably being showcased in a museum right now.”

She stares at me for a beat, then she laughs out loud—a rich, throaty, sensual sound.

“You’re a terrible human being.”

“I know.” I shake my head at the calamity of it all.

“And you’re an even worse feminist.”

“Agreed. That’s something I need to work on. You’ll help me, won’t you? We should spend as much time together as possible—every minute of the day and night. I’m hoping you’ll rub off on me.”

Sarah pushes my shoulder. “You’re just hoping I’ll rub you off.”

Now it’s my turn to laugh. Because she’s not even a little bit wrong.

“But there’s never been anyone? Really?”

Sarah shrugs. “Penny and I were tutored at home when we were young . . . but in year ten, there was this one boy.”

I rub my hands together. “Here we go—tell me everything. I want all the sick, lurid details. Was he a footballer? Captain of the team, the most popular boy in school?”

“He was captain of the chess team.”

I cover my eyes with my hand.

“His name was Davey. He wore these adorable tweed jackets and bow ties, he had blond hair and was a bit pale because of the asthma. He had the same glasses as me and he had a different pair of argyle socks for every day of the year.”

“I am so disappointed in you right now.”

“He was nice,” she chides. “You leave my Davey alone.”

I shake my head. “So what happened to old Davey boy?”

“I was alone in the library one day and he came up and started to ask me to the spring social. And I was so excited and nervous I could barely breathe. And then before he could finish the question, I . . .”

I don’t realize I’m leaning toward her until she stops talking and I almost fall over.

“You . . . what?”

Sarah hides behind her hands.

“I threw up on him.”

And I try not to laugh. I swear I try . . . but I’m only human. So I end up laughing so hard the car shakes and I can’t speak for several minutes.

“Christ almighty.”

“And I’d had fish and chips for lunch.” Sarah’s laughing too. “It was awful.”

“Oh you poor thing.” I shake my head, still chuckling. “And poor Davey.”

“Yes.” She wipes under her eyes with her finger. “Poor Davey. He never came near me again after that.”

“Coward—he didn’t deserve you. I would’ve swam through a whole lake of puke to take a girl like you to the social.”

She smiles so brightly at me, her cheeks maroon and round like two shiny apples.

“I think that’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me.”

I wiggle my eyebrows. “I’m all about the compliments.”

Review "Egomaniac by Vi Keeland"

The night I met Drew Jagger, he’d just broken into my new Park Avenue office. 
I dialed 9-1-1 before proceeding to attack him with my fancy new Krav Maga skills. 
He quickly restrained me, then chuckled, finding my attempted assault amusing.   
 
Of course, my intruder had to be arrogant. 
Only, turned out, he wasn’t an intruder at all.   
 
Drew was the rightful occupant of my new office.  He’d been on vacation while his posh space was renovated. 
Which was how a scammer got away with leasing me office space that wasn’t really available for rent.   
I was swindled out of ten grand. 
 
The next day, after hours at the police station, Drew took pity on me and made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.  In exchange for answering his phones while his secretary was out, he’d let me stay until I found a new place. 
I probably should have acted grateful and kept my mouth shut when I overheard the advice he was spewing to his clients.  But I couldn’t help giving him a piece of my mind.  
I never expected my body to react every time we argued.  Especially when that was all we seemed to be able to do. 
 
The two of us were complete opposites. Drew was a bitter, angry, gorgeous-as-all-hell, destroyer of relationships.  And my job was to help people save their marriages.  
The only thing the two of us had in common was the space we were sharing.   
And an attraction that was getting harder to deny by the day. 

Review
I haven't read any of Vi Keeland books before, I've been meaning to but I haven't got the chance to read any. I always like the sound of the blurbs so I finally decided to give her a change. I must say I really like this book. It was started of with a bang but after that after that it was a bit slow. It too a while for the story line to develop but after it did it moved a bit faster again. I really liked how the characters developed. There was way book to the story than I first thought.

What is this book about.
This book starts of with Emerie and Drew meeting in a quite odd manor.  You see they meet when Emerie thinks Drew is breaking into her office. But the thing is, Emerie got scammed and the office she things she's renting is actually Drew's office.  Drew takes pity on her and decided to help her out. After an interesting trip to the police office and a very interesting trail, drew and Emerie get to know each other a bit better. While trying to clear up the mess Emerie is in, she and drew strike a deal. Emerie can rent an office in Drew building if she helps him out as his secretary while his own secretary is on sick leave.
Drew is a successful divorce lawyer and Emerie is a psychologist who specializes in marriage counseling. So you can imagine they have quite different views on certain things. One thing they do agree on, they might not always admit it, is their attraction to each other. 

What did I like about this book. 
I liked how the story progressed in the end. I liked that there was way more to it than you'd think. Although it felt a bit slow at certain points, I did like it. 
I liked the banter between Drew and Emerie. I loved Drews dirty dirty mouth, but most of all I loved how real and caring Drew was. I loved Emerie's spunk and the way she cares about people. 

Review "The Titan Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout"

The Return (Titan series #1)

The Fates are cackling their bony asses off…

It’s been a year since Seth made the deal with the gods that pledged his life to them. And so far, the jobs they’ve given him have been violent and bloody–which is kind of all right with him. But now Apollo has something else in mind for Seth. He’s got to play protector while keeping his hands and fingers off, and for someone who really has a problem with restraint, this new assignment might be the most challenging yet.

Josie has no idea what this crazy hot guy’s deal might be, but it’s a good bet that his arrival means the new life she started after leaving home is about to be thrown into an Olympian-sized blender turned up to puree. Either Josie is going insane or a nightmare straight out of ancient myth is gunning for her.

But it might be the unlikely attraction simmering between her and the golden-eyed, secret-keeping Seth that may prove to be the most dangerous thing of all.

Because history has once again been flipped to repeat.

Review
I must say I loved this book allot more the second time I read it. I liked it the first time obviously but it didn't make a big an impact that the covenant series did. 
I didn't really love nor hate Seth in the Covenant series. Did I get mad at him for getting between Alex and Aiden yes, do I hate how he behaved, yes, do I hate the things he did, definitely yes but do I hate him, no I don't. I could see how Seth got manipulated into doing what he did. I saw there was more to him than he was showing. And I believe, even more so after reading this book, that he never truly meant for things to happen as they did. He did everything in his power to make it right. 
I didn't like Seth with Alex because I knew Alex would never truly love Seth like she does Aiden. I do love Seth with Josie. He deserves someone that loves him for him, and not be second. 

What is this book all about.
This book takes place a year after the ending of Sentinel. Seth traded his mortal and after live for Aiden to become immortal and therefor be with Alex. Seth is basically the gods bitch boy, their assassin. Whatever the gods wants him to do, he has to do.  Apollo is the one sending Seth on assignments. This time Seth has to find a person. He only know's the persons initials and on which university to find said person. Apollo is the master of giving as little information as possible and only provide all the information a while after it would have been nice to have said info. 
Anyway Seth sets of to find this mystery person and finds out it's a girl named Josie. Seth is shocked as he finds her because she reminds him of a certain girl he rather not thing about. 
Josie seems like a ordinary human at first but as it turns out that is far from the truth. Josie is very important in the upcoming war. You see the Titan Seth and the others set free, that escaped in Sentinal, decided to free his buddies. And now they're planning all kinds of havoc.  

Josie didn't have an easy childhood. Her mother got diagnosed with schizophrenia and that hasn't been easy for Josie to live with her. To make matters worse, her mother never really made her feel like she wanted her. After running into a hot guy of collage, her lives changes in ways she never could have imagined. She gets thrown into a world where Greek Mythology isn't mythology at all. The gods are very much real and they need her help. 

This book is the start of Seth finding his redemption in Josie. He is desperate to find himself again. All he's been all his life is just the Apollyon and with Josie he feels like he can be more than that. 

What did I love about this book 
I loved seeing some of the old gang again, Luke, Deacon, Apollo etc. But what I liked most is getting to know more about Seths backstory. I really felt sorry for him and what his live has been like.  He never felt wanted and never had a family that loved him. I can see how that was used against him. He craved a family and when that got dangled in front of him he got blindsided by what was actually going on. 
I loved Josie, I loved how she saw him as just Seth. She handled the situation she was in very well. 

I do have to say, If you haven't read the Covenant series and you're planning on reading both this series and the Covenant series, read the covenant series first. If you read this series first you'll receive some major spoilers about the covenant series. The Titan series can be read as a complete standalone series.

The Power (Titan Series #2)

With any great change, there is always strife, and the Covenant University has become the frontline between pure-bloods who want the Breed Order reinstated and the half-bloods who want the right to control their own destinies.

Fate has other plans.

 The violence is escalating and war between the races seems inevitable, and it couldn’t come at a worse time. Hyperion may be out of commission, but Josie and Seth know they have only earned a reprieve.  Seth must get Josie fully prepared, which means controlling her newfound abilities, and they need to find the other demigods before the Titans do.

But the gods are sensing a greater threat. 

Only one thing is more dangerous than a bunch of starved Titans, and that’s an out-of-control Apollyon. The aether in Josie is drawing Seth in deeper, and when lust mixes with love and gives way to power, he knows being close to her is not only dangerous to her, but to everyone around them, but letting her go requires a level of selflessness that just isn’t Seth’s style.

The paths taken in the past are becoming the roads of the future.

Just as chaos breaks out, familiar faces from the past return, complicating the already strained bond between Josie and Seth, and when the danger from the Titans erupts with devastating consequences, the dark allure of power calls to Seth again, but this time Josie might not be able to pull him back.

 And when the struggle between power and love becomes the deadliest battleground, there may be no salvation.

Review
This book begins right where the first one ended. Seth and Josie decided to give their relationship a try. Josie is awakened as a demigod and she is training to become stronger and control her powers. 

What is this book all about 
In this book we continue Seth and Josies story. Josie is training to become stronger and to control her powers. She and Seth are growing closer together but there is still something that is holding Seth back. Things are getting more and more tense at the covenant as the pures and the halfs are fighting amongst themselves. Not only that, the Titans are still lurking around waiting to attack. 
Seth and Josie are trying to find the other demi-gods so that they can fight the Titans for once and for all. The thing is, they can't do it alone. They need the help of other demi-gods to track and protect the other born demigods. Will Seth be able to deal when he has to look the consequence of his action in the eye? Or will his resentment though wards himself keep him and Josie from being together, from being happy? 
The war between the greeks and the titans are far from over. Their will be a price to pay, the question is what is the price and are Seth and Josie willing to pay or will it destroy them forever. 

What did I love about this book.
I felt so bad for Seth. The way he feels about himself is heart breaking. He acts all confident and cocky but deep down he is a broken man. He deserves to be happy and so does Josie. They are so good together. 
I loved seeing Alex and Aiden again. It's great to see them so happy. 
The one thing I loved, maybe the most, is when Josie stood up for Seth. It really showed how much she loves him. 
I can't wait to read the third book! March can't come soon enough.
