Unattainable (Undeniable #3) By Madeline Sheehan Part 1

Monday, September 30th-Started

I started this series in February, I have been waiting for the next book in the series each time and once I see it has been published I get it right away.

Book 1 was Deuce and Eva's Story
Book 2 was Ripper and Danny's Story
Now this is Book #3 and it is Cage and Tegan a.k.a TeaCup's story.

This series is an intense Biker "Romance", please note the quotations as I do use that term loosely.

The book gives what could be a glimpse (well what is the assumptions, well it could be the truth but you never know) into the Motorcycle Clubs Dark and Dangerous World.

The first two books are intense in every form and at some points I was like 'cover my eyes and hold up, I did not just read that'.

BUT

I still am addicted to this series and wish that Madeline writes quicker.

Sooo any who, back to the topic at hand, as I said wrote before, this story is about Cage and Tegan. They have had an up and down relationship, which has assisted in shaping Tegan into the woman she is today. This is not such a good thing as having been in love with Cage since she was a little girl then losing her virginity to him then being hit with the reality that he doesn't love her back all resulted in her becoming who she is.

I know their story will be a roller coaster and I for one can not wait to sit back with my KOBO and enjoy the ride.

Finders Keepers (Lost & Found #3) By Nicole Williams Part 2

Friday, September 27th-Finished

" I drew her close and looked her in the eyes 'Finders Keepers"

Garth grew up as the trailer trash of the town. Always believing he never deserved anything other than a bottle of whisky and a woman under him.

At five years old he fell in love with Josie on a school bus as she wiped his nose of blood (which he got from his dad smacking him). From that momen on Josie consumed his thoughts.

Now at 21, no place to live and hardly any money (thank you whisky and woman) he is about to learn all over again why he loves Josie.

"How could I love her the way she deserved to be loved when my partents hadn't shown me an ounce of it."

Josie finds Garth one night in the middle of winter inside of his truck, on his way to hypothermia. She all but drags him back to her house to sleep for the night.

Two years back, something happened between Josie and Garth that stopped their friendships dead in their tracks and had everybody in re-thinking mode about their relationships with eachother.

"Biggest of my life. I lost two of my best friends in exchange for the asshole with his nostrils packed with tissue in front of me now."

Wih Garth moving into Josie's house, past feelings and emotions start to surface and neither of them expect what life puts in front of them.

"If a person could only choose one momory to take with them into their next life, that would be the one I'd take."

"You only get one fo around, so make some mistakes, love who you want to love and forget the rest."

Garth's story had everything, a sexy cowboy, unconditional love, heart ache, unbreakable friendships.

What more could a reader ask for. :)

Great story, loved every bit of it.

If Forever Comes (Take This Regret #2) By A.L Jackson Part 2

Tuesday, September 24th-Finished

Elizabeth didn't know how to get up out of bed everyday after her heart was ripped out. She couldn't find herself out of the darkness to do the little things with Lizzie everyday or to even breathe easily. But she wanted to.

Christian was lost, he didn't know how to get his family back together, he didn't know how to get his life back to what it was. He loved Elizabeth with everything he had and all he wanted was to hold her in his arms

This book was written again from Elizabeth and Christian's POV, present and with flashbacks to their recent past. We got to thoroughly understand what happened to them to cause their family to break apart.

If Forever Comes was the conclusion to Elizabeth and Christians story and had me captivated from the first chapter. I felt gutted while reading this book, at one point I had to put the book down so I could have a good 'sob fest'. I felt for Christian and Elizabeth every step of the way. I felt the depression Elizabeth felt and how hard it was to just wake up every morning and the hopelessness Christian felt when he felt he had no other option but to wait for Elizabeth to see him for him again.

This series is on my list and comes highly recommended BUT must be read as the series in proper sequence otherwise there is no point.

Each book left me speechless and shocked in some way or another. GREAT JOB with the writing and the story line.

"he was everything, beauty and light, my rock, the other piece of my soul."

"Nothing could make me stop needing you. You are my start and you are my finish, the one who's going to be there for everything in between."

If Forever Comes (Take This Regreat #2) By A.L Jackson Part 1

Sunday, September 22nd-Started

Finally the final installment in the Take This Regret Series is here **Oprah's excited voice**

Christian finally has it all, a ring on Elizabeth's finger and his daughter by his side.

Elizabeth never thought her family would be whole.

But life can't be this easy, Christian and Elizabeth find themselves fighting to hold onto their family.

Side Note: So excited, I have waited over a month for this book to come out and now I have it on my KOBO. BUT life is never that fair because I have to go to sleep soon because I need to be up at 5:30 for work. SOOOOO not impressed with the lack of time this evening. But this may or may not be my fault since I had the urge to read Crossing the Line instead of If Forever Comes first. Meh, things happen, at least I will get a few chapters in tonight.

Crossing the Line (Pushing the Limits #1.5) By Katie McGarry Part 2

Sunday, September 22nd-Finished

I wish this story was a full novel because I could do with a lot more of Lincoln and Lila.

I loved these two.

Lila and Lincoln have been writing for two years since they met at Aires (Echo's Brothers) Funeral. Aires and Josh (Lincoln's brother) were in the military together and died in the same blast.

They started writing letters back and forther (not texts, not emails, letters) and somewhere a long the line they fell for eachother.

But Lila founds out that Lincoln lied to her over a very important aspect in their friendship.

Lincoln, used to care, but over the past year, he started giving up on everything except his feelings for Lila.

"The one relationship I need, the one relationship I depond on...I've jacked it up."-Lincoln

"Two years of letters, two years of redefining myself and two years of falling for my best friend"-Lila

Beautiful story of how friendship can come from the most unexpecting moments in life and how friendship can grow into something more than you ever expected.

Love this series and can't wait for Isaiah's story coming this November.

Rules of Entanglement (Fighting for Love #2) By Gina L Maxwell Part 2

Sunday, September 22nd-Finished

Vanessa MacGregor's Lucky 7 Rules
7. Never take responsibilities lightly.
6. Never indulge in the poison of lies.
5. Never let a fling last more than three days.
4. Never date a man who chooses fists over words.
3. Never date a man who lacks a stable future.
2. Never relinquish control.
1. Never fall in love.

Vanessa learns quickly that Jax could easily break all her rules if she allowed him to. So she thought she would take control of the situation at hand and enjoy a three day fling with Jax. Three days only of no-strings attached fun in Hawaii.

Jax wanted to break all of Vanessa 'Rules' and show her that he is what she wanted. He wasn't sure what it was about this 'Red Viper' but he knew he had never been this intrigued in a woman ever.

They confide in each other things that they never told anyone before and the feelings between them are more than just a fling.

Jax wants to have more than the three days and Vanessa starts to feel the same until life takes a left turn and trouble comes back to Vanessa and all the things she tried to get away from when she was longer seem to be in her face.

He may have started their 'situation' with a lie, but he had to show 'V' his feelings and actions were 100% truthful. 

I may have cried from laughing so hard at the dialogue between Jax and Vanessa (okay, okay I did).

So many good lines, I found my self saying 'classic', 'damn straight' or 'awwww' more than once:

"Did Hawaiians have the saying "Save a surfboard, ride a surfer?""

"She mentally marked it as a win in her column. Shabba." (side note, Shabba has been my favourite line this week and when I read it in this book, I knew I had to reference it)

" I'd rather fight and lose than never step inside the cage"

"When I'm with a woman the sex is so good my neighbors need a cigarette."

"Wahine, I don't strut. I simply walk in a manly way."

Great book, I loved these two and to read about Reid and Lucie again. 

I loved this story, it was exactly what I needed to read to get my spirits back up after all the heart-aching stories I have read lately. Awesome Job Gina!!!!!

Rules of Entanglement (Fighting For Love #2) By Gina L Maxwell Part 1

Saturday, September 21st-Started

I read part 1 in this series about 6 months ago and since I am in dire need of a pick me up after all of the hear-wrenching, tissue box emptying books I have read over this past week (again don't judge my reading habits).

So I have decided this book will be the pick me up I need before I dive into my intense stories.
 
Vanessa has 7 rules to help her get the future she wants.

Jackson finds himself pretending to be engaged to Vanessa (who happens to be his little sisters best friend).

They are sharing a romantic bungalow throughout his little sisters wedding in Hawaii and now 'Jax' has 7 days to turn her 7 rules upside down.

Breaking Nova (Nova #1) By Jessica Sorensen Part 2

Friday, September 20th-Finished

This book had me feeling heart-wrenched and emotionally drained. Jessica Sorensen did not disappoint on the front of her 'twisted' love stories. I felt everything that was going on with Nova and Quinton, their heartache, their pain, their guilt, all of it.

Nova didn't know how to get past Landon's death, past the memories of the night she found him. She didn't know who she was without him by her side. She thought her OCD tendencies were normal, until Quinton came into her life. He made her forget about the counting and the routines.

Quinton believed he didn't deserve happiness or a second chance at love. He couldn't break his promise to Lexi, he couldn't be happy with Nova, with himself when he should have (and did) die that fateful night.

Against all judgement, Quinton and Nova started something beyond special, but the questions remained, was Nova strong enough to get over Landon's choice to leave her and was Quinton able to come to terms with the accident??

Quoted Passages:

"the once good guy ho wanted to be an artist and start a family died in the accident and was never revived. Now there's just a loser, stoner, drifter Quinton."

"I love you Nova...I always will...no matter what."

"Maybe what's on the outside isn't necessarily what's on the inside."

"I used to care about stuff all the time, then I lost the thing I cared about the most, and it seemed like everything left meant nothing or was insignificant."

Can't believe I have to wait until 2014 for Book #2 and #3..UGH..but I guess that means I have to re-read it..Okay twist my arm.

Until my next blog when I have chosen a book, that doesn't hurt my heart. Next book will be a pick me up, I feel like I need something that makes me laugh, not cry. Wish me Luck

Breaking Nova (Nova #1) By Jessica Sorensen Part 1

Friday, September 20th-Started

Nova had her first love's life was taken away from her and she is trying to come to terms with why.

Quinton feels like he is the one that took his first love away. Now he has to try to get by day by day with the guilt that he has a reminder of of his arm.

When Nova looks Quinton in his eye's for the first time, she see's the pain and that he is broken just like herself.

When Quinton see's Nova he smiles for the first time in over a year and he doesn't know if he deserves to smile.

I am expecting to feel the heartache as I am reading this book (Why, oh why, do I do this to myself...**sigh**)

Sweet Surrendering (Surrendering Saga Book 1) By Chelsea Cameron Part 2

Thursday, September 19th-Finished

What starts out as a one night stand turns into more than they both could ever had expected.

Rory meets Lucas when he shows up at her office looking to interview for her assistant position.

The interview does not go the professional way she intended it go and when it is over she has decided she will not be hiring Lucas.

When she is out for girls night, who just happens to be at the bar and performing for open mic night, that is right Lucas.

After a few drinks, they are in the cab on their way to his house, for a one-night stand to end all one-night stands (at this point you start the fanning of yourself).

After being persuaded by her company's board members, she hires Lucas. She is determined to be the professional that she knows she is.

Clearly things don't always go her way when she has the sexy Mr. Blaine sitting right outside her office staring at her day in day out.

These two need to work out how they will work together and get through this intense (INTENSE) attraction and connection they have with each other. 

But not everything is as black and white as it seems, secrets are kept and worries are had, but why?????

While reading this, I felt like this could be a true story, as if 'it could happen' in my life or a friends life. The way Lucas and Rory had to hide their feelings at work, the night outs Rory had with her girlfriends, the dialogue between Rory and her girlfriends and Rory and Lucas was beyond realistic. Some lines used in this book, I use on the regular when speaking to my girlfriends and boyfriend, so that just made me love this book even more.

If you are looking for a steamy-office romance-fan yourself off kind of book, then this will be the book you need to read. I was all over the map with my emotions (minus the crying-well crying from laughter).

Quotes:

"I mean, unless you don't like s'mores in which case, there's the door."

"The God of Love? We talking the Greek or the Roman one?"The American one. Alcohol."

"He wasn't making this easy. Well, I could make it hard. That's what she said."

"I'm cool with cuddling, I'm going to cuddle you so hard."

"I'm psychotic," I said with a serious face. "I think you mean psychic, Sunshine."

Great job Chelsea, can't wait for Book 2.

Falling Into Us (Falling #2) By Jasinda Wilder Part 2

Tuesday, September 17th-Finished

Becca and Jason realized they had something special early in their relationship.

They both were over achievers, one in academics the other in football, both trying to please their parents.

The first tragedy of their lives hit when Kyle was killed.

They had to learn to cope and lean on eachother to move past the tragedy.

One thing after another happened to Becca and Jason, but through the love they had for eachother, no obstacle, good or bad could stand in their way.

This story was more heart wrenching than Falling Into You. In this story we see what happened to Nell throughout those two years. We see the heart ache that all of them faced. We also see more of Colt and Nell and see in more detail some of their low and high moments they shared.

Becca and Jason faced so much more than what I could have ever imagined. I couldn't believe how much they had to face and I felt for them every step of the way.

I needed a kleenex box throughout the whole book just in case because I never knew if I was going to laugh or cry.

This story touched on so many important different important topics: Bipolarism, Domestic Abuse, importance of grieving and so much more.

Quotes:
"Damn baby, these are tight. How the hell did you get into them?" "Generous use of Crisco and a long running start,"

"Can't promise you forever, because that's not long enough."

"You can't ignore it. Pain, gried, anger, misery...they don't go away-they just increase and compound and get worse. You have to live through them, acknowledge them. You have to give your pain it's due."

Jasinda, you nailed this series.

Falling Into You (Falling #1) By Jasinda Wilder Part 2

Sunday, September 15th-Finished

Kyle and Nell were best friends since birth, everything one could experience as a child, they experienced together. When they were 16, they turned from best friends to boyfriend and girlfriend. Everything was perfect, until that one fateful night in August. After Kyle died, Nell didn't know how to breathe without Kyle.

Nell and Colton find themselves in New York together and Colton wants nothing more than to help Nell finally grieve over her loss.

Together they help each other.

This story was beautiful; I didn't know how I was going to like it because I knew Kyle's death was coming. I was bracing myself, but nothing prepared me. I felt the pain that Nell felt to watch Kyle say "I love you" as his last words, I felt my heart wrench. When Colton and Nell talk to each other, you feel the passion they have for each other, but also feel the guilt they both carry.

This book does make you believe you can move on after you lose the one you love. Whether that person is a best friend, lover, family member, time may not heal all wounds, but time does make it easier to move on. While reading this book, I was thinking of people who I have lost in my life, some at young age, others not so young, some not even human (though they liked to act like they were). It's amazing how you do not realize that time has gone by.

I couldn't imagine, nor do I wish to experience what happened in this book. But my heart goes out to anybody that has lost their lover and has survived it and found happiness again.

Quotes:

"There's a shortage of perfect breasts in this world. It would be a pity to ruin yours." She stops thrashing and laughs. "Did you just quote The Princess Bride at me?" "Maybe."

'Hot heart-blood leaked from my face. From my eyes and my nose and my mouth. Not tears, because those would never stop. This was just liquid heartbreak seeping from my pores."

"You can't hold it in forever," Colt said. "Yes I can." I had to. "You'll go crazy. It'll come out, one way or another." "Better crazy, than broke."

Falling Into You (Falling #1) By Jasinda Wilder Part 1

Saturday, September 14th-Started

I am not sure I could summarize this book more than Goodreads.com already has, so I won't even try.

Goodreads.com:

I wasn't always in love with Colton Calloway; I was in love with his younger brother, Kyle, first. Kyle was my first one true love, my first in every way.
Then, one stormy August night, he died, and the person I was died with him.

Colton didn't teach me how to live. He didn't heal the pain. He didn't make it okay. He taught me how to hurt, how to not be okay, and, eventually, how to let go.

To be honest, I know this is book is going to get me emotional (and I have been over emotional for the past couple of days, so I have no idea why I am torturing myself) but the book has been on my KOBO forever and I the reviews have me intrigued.

Wrong Kind of Love (Young Love #2) By Amanda Heath part 2

Saturday, September 14th-Finished

When I say (well write, but you get the idea) that I could not put this book down, I mean it. I did not fall asleep until after 2:30 this morning. This is when I clicked to the last page of the book, trust me when I saw (write) I am exhausted, but it is so worth it.

Throughout This Beautiful Thing (Young Love 1) we are given snippets of Jaden and Grace's 'relationship'.

Grace wanted, no needed, to start her life over and become someone that is the complete opposite of who she really is. Then she meets Caden and her plan almost get's ruined from the beginning.

When Caden met Grace met for the first time he felt this intense connection. Little did Caden know his twin Jaden has had his eye on Grace. The twins make a deal to not pursue Grace, but when Jaden breaks the 'twin code' things change. Now all is fair in the fight to win Grace.

With reading this book, all the questions I had while reading This Beautiful Thing were answered, just not in the way I had assumed.

I kept messaging my BBF with my predictions, but then had to turn around 2 minutes later and say never mind.

The only thing that disappointed me a bit was they ending, I felt it was a little rushed and I am still left wondering about certain somebody. But maybe that is one of her up and coming stories that she has yet to post a blurb about. Hmmmmmm one can hope

Quotes:

"There has to be something wrong with me. Jaden is damn near perfect and Caden....isn't"

"We weren't supposed to fall in love. I feel bipolar around Caden. I know you're feeling it too. One second I want to be with him and the next I don't."

"Sometimes people walk into your life for a little while and sometimes they stay for the long haul.'

Honourable Quote: "I just couldn't deal without my weed. I have a problem, don't judge." Amanda Heath well said. That is one of my favourite lines (as people can already tell). For that ending and that ending alone....kudos.

Should Be Noted: If I had to use one movie quote to assist in describing this book it would be: You can't help who you love Derek, you're not supposed to. -Save the Last Dance (courtesy of my baby sisters constant movie quoting conversations) Obviously you would substitute Derek for Grace, but ya, I know you are all with me on that.

Price of a Kiss By Linda Kage Part 2

Wednesday, September 11th-Finished

Being the town’s rumoured 'gigolo' wasn't what Mason wanted, but when it was the only way to help his mother and sister, what choice did he have, right?

Reese had to move across the country to get away from her psycho ex-boyfriend, legally changing her name in the process.

When Reese see's Mason, she knows she is done for, even knowing what he 'was' didn't change her thoughts about him.

Fate was on her side when she took a job to babysit a 12 year old girl name Sarah. Turns out she is Mason's little sister.

Reese knows Mason is more than his job and their sprouting friendship starts to become harder to maintain when they both become honest with their true feelings for each other.

Quotes:

``His dark, wavy hair called to me--Reese, Reese! Run your fingers through my wild, gorgeous, untamed mane. It did. For real."

"He set it back in front of me, looking deceived.”So...you eat chili cheese fries loaded with grease, calories, and carbs. Then get a diet cola? He gave an amused laugh. "You're such a girl."

'I just want to kiss those lips and hoard that sound all to myself."

I was surprised how well this book really represented the judgement that Mason and Sarah experienced. Yes he was a ‘gigolo’ but I still felt for the guy (My opinion anyways). The way they treated Sarah was despicable, kids really can be cruel. Parents if your kids are like that, change your parenting tactics and teach them right. Shameful.

Well Done LK!

My Unexpected Forever (Beaumont #2) By Heidi McLaughlin Part 2

Sunday, September 8th-Finished

**Be warned, tissues will be needed**

How do you go on from losing the love of your life?

How do you compete with a the one that was taken away?

Harrison knew he wanted to make Peyton, Elle and Katelyn a part of his and Quinn's life from the first moment he saw her.

Katelyn wasn't sure how to feel about caring for someone as more than a friend so soon after losing her husband.

This is a story about moving on from your past even when it seems impossible and following your heart even when all seems to fail.

This book was definitely worth the wait!!

I couldn't imagine losing the one you have loved since you were 15 and the father of your two children.

Harrison didn't want to replace Mason, he just wanted a place in the hearts of Katelyn, Peyton and Elle. He wanted Quinn to have a mother and his family to be complete.

Quoted passages:

"I don't care that the way he looks at me makes me feel wanted. I don't care that the way he looks at me makes me feel desired. I don't care that the way he smells makes me want to crawl into his skin until I'm Enveloped in his scent. I don't care because he's not Mason."

"Imagining a life with her is as easy as breathing."

"I'm evil and desperate for a sign on how to get through to her."

"I give him everything. My heart. My body. My Soul. My life."

Now what is next...maybe Jimmy and Jenna's story, because I know there was something going on...hmmm..

My Everything (Beaumont #1.5) By Heidi McLaughlin Part 2

Saturday, September 7th-Finished

This was a novella and answered a lot of questions I had at the end of Forever My Girl.

Nick thought he knew love, until he met Aubrey. After his year of volunteering in Africa comes to an end he starts his new journey in life and love.

When they move back to Beaumont together, he has one task ahead of him...to see Noah and ask for his forgiveness for leaving.

I have quoted some passages:

"Is being different good? I want to think it is. I never want to go through life being the same as someone else. I've always wanted to be unique, genuine. I want to be remembered and make an impression on people."

"I know what true love feels like. It's the butterflies you get every time that person walks into the room or you get a whiff of their perfume from another room."

As I mentioned reading this book was a long time coming and I am glad that I waited, because the next book is ready to be devoured.

Lost For You (Lost #2) By BJ Harvey Part 2

Saturday, September 7th-Finished

I just finished Lost For You and to be honest I feel a little stumped.

As I said in Part 1, LFY is the continuation of Brax and Elle's story.

Brax returns to Elle's life after receiving a phone call from Shay. He is determined now more than ever to prove his love to her at all costs.

Brax and Brax both receive confessions that send their lives tumbling once again. But throughout the fight to live, they will see the meaning of true love in relationships and friendships.

Throughout this book we see the alternating POV's from many characters that are involved in the lives of Brax and Elle.

The alternating POV's definitely added to this story, but 'man oh man' I was not fully expecting what i was given.

Oh and talk about Curveballs at some points I had to re-read to make sure I read a part right. I also had to stop, wipe a tear than continue on.

Another thing I liked about this book, was the commentary from Brax, his dialogue was too much sometimes.

To summarize Lost In Distraction is about a girl named Elise whose family is murdered. She thought Brax was in her life by coincidence, but in fact he is there to watch over her and keep her safe from people who want to hurt her.

A lot happens in LID, but the ending definitely left you wanting more.

So here we are, Lost For You is the continuation of Elise and Brax's story.

Until my next Blog when I have completed this book.

Resisting Her By: Kendall Ryan Part 2

Thursday, September 5th-Finished

Another book I could not put down.

From the beginning this book had me thinking about what could possibly be the full outcome of the book. I made many assumptions (as usual) but to be honest, I didn't fully expect what some of the book gave me.

Cole (the FBI agent) was captivated by Savannah (rescued from a Cult) from the beginning. Cole had felt the need to protect her from the first moment he laid eyes on her.

Cole and Savannah's relationship is out of the ordinary from the get go, but Cole keeps his guard up as long as he can, trying to 'resist her'.

Cole is a man of mystery. He has been through many things throughout his life that have assisted him in molding him into the stand off person he is.

Savannah is trying to come to terms with the change that has occurred in her life. She no longer is under the watchful eye of the Cult, but has she fully escaped everything?

Throughout the book you feel the fight between Cole following his heart and following what he thinks should be reality.

I loved the alternating POV's (again as usual) as it gave us a true understanding of the passion behind these two. 

Again, I have some quoted passages:

"You were confident and determined when most would have been terrified. You were teaching me. You refused to crumble"

"Wanting her was a powerful, primal need, an instinctive response, and one he hadn't experienced in a long time."

"I want to be your partner, not our project."

There is one other book I have not read from Kendall Ryan and I may have to give into temptation and read Working It.

Hmmm...

Until my next Blog when I have chosen my book.

Resisting Her By: Kendall Ryan Part 1

Wednesday, September 4th-Started

Let's go...One more Kendall Ryan book for the Blog.

I have had this book on my KOBO for several months and I have always delayed the reading of it because another book has crossed my path.

Well not it is better late than never.

The book is about an FBI agent who is working on a case involving raiding a cult and arresting their leader.

He ends up coming across a girl who is in need of his help.

But can he Resist Her? (get it???)

Until my next Blog when I have completed this book.

The Impact of You By Kendall Ryan Part 2

Tuesday, September 3rd-Finished

Dedication at the beginning of the book:

"To girls everywhere who have made mistakes. Forgive yourself. Then let it go. "

Okay, so, yeah....I could not put this book down.

I have had this problem with all of Kendall Ryan's books.

Not sure what I can say about this book without giving anything major away.

There were so many small details going on throughout the book.

What I enjoy about KR's books is that sometimes it's the bad girl being reformed, sometimes it’s the bad guy, but when you are reading the book, you are immersed into the story.

This may just be because I prefer New Adult Romances...or it may be that these authors just write really good books. Who knows?

All I am going to do is quote some passages and demand that you go read this book. While you are at it...read the rest of her books too. :)

"I have the urge to brush the strands out of his face. Or use it to tug him in to kiss me. Where did that thought come from?"

"Do you have mace on you? Maybe a rape whistle tucked under your shirt?"

"Tell that to my jiggly ass." I make a point of looking behind me, like it's somehow offended me. "

"She's the fresh start I didn't even know how badly I needed."

"Playlist? nah. It's the Black Leys. I buy whole albums, not individual songs. I'm, not afraid of commitment, babe."

"Life is a crapshoot. We've all been dealt a hand that we have no choice but to play."

As always, well done KR.

Until my next Blog when I have chosen another book.

The Impact of You By Kendall Ryan Part 1

Tuesday, September 3rd-Started

I have read a few of Kendall Ryan's books and I really enjoyed them, so when looking for a new book I came across this one and thought, "what the hey".

This book is about a girl name Avery wanting to keep a low profile at college, BUT she falls for the popular frat guy Jase.

Jase starts to help Avery cope with her past while forgetting his drama.

Then Avery's past catches up to her and Jase has to decide if her can live with the truth.

LOVE IT (In Oprah's excited voice please)

Until my next Blog when I have completed this book.

Stripped By H.M Ward Part 2

Monday, September 2nd-Finished

If H.M Ward does one thing well, it's leaving her readers wanting more and more.

Stripped is going to be a 2 part series and I for one will be on the verge of pulling my hair out waiting for it to come out so I can know what happens.

What I love about the Ferro Brothers' series is that the 3 different series are all connected, so you can't (well you can, but you shouldn't) read any of the series as a standalone and still be okay.

BUT

If you really want to get the full scope you have to read all three in the correct sequence.

In fact, come to think of it some of her other series ties into these books as well (I guess I am on to more series soon).

I knew for this book I wasn't going to be able to put this book down and I was right. Before I knew it the book was done and I was like "NO, that can't be it for now".

As usual, below are some passages:

"Guys are dicks. The commit to marrying a woman, but this kind of crap the night before the wedding is okay."

"The truth is, I hate this. I'd rather be anywhere else, doing anything else. The gynecologist's office, sign me up. Root canal, no problem."

"If I was a hamster. I would have dies last time I was here. Water? Food? Jon who? The man has the attention span of a kid on Pixie Stix. Seriously."

"My words are harsh, but the smile on my face and my sarcastic tone lightens the punch. “You ever think it might just be you?"

"I wonder what he's hiding behind those beautiful blue eyes and the fake smile that's always plastered across his face."

As i mentioned before there is a sequence to all the Ferro Books and just because I love all my devoted Blog fans (**sarcastic voice please**), here is the order:

Damaged 1 (Peter's Story), The Arrangement 1-8 (Sean's Story), Damaged 2, The Arrangement 9, Stripped 1 (Jon's Story)

P.S You're Welcome!!

Apparently I am going to have to wait for "Winter 2013" for Stripped 2...what to do until then...

Until my next Blog when I have chosen a new book.

Stripped By H.M Ward Part 1

Monday, September 2nd-Started

So for the past several months I have been hooked to H.M Wards Books.

She has several series going on, but I have been devoted to her Ferro Brothers Series.

I started reading Damaged which was Peter's story, then when to The Arrangement which is Sean's Story.

Now comes Jon's story.

So hyped about this book because when I was reading Damaged 2, we got a glimpse of Jon and his troubles, but nothing more than basic information was provided.

Now, I know this will be a quick read if it is anything like brother's books.

Until my next Blog when I have completed this book.

Lick: Stage Dive #1 By Kylie Scott Part 2

Monday, September 2nd-Finished

Oh Man...definitely a 'Pull my hair and call me Susie' book.

I liked how the synopsis of the book was basically the first chapter, so I was pretty much going into this book with just assumptions of when things would happen.

I love how this book will be a series of the band members, so I have lots to look forward to from Kylie Scott.

Again, I have several passages for everyone to get intrigued about this book.

"I liked clean-cut. Clean-cut was nice. Bad boys were highly overrated."

"Though he hadn't stayed long in the  pool house, obviously. Five, six minutes maybe I almost felt bad for Bikini Girl. That wasn't service with a smile."

"Who are you, Oprah?" Coughing out a laugh, Mal slumped against the wall. "hell, yeah. Soon I'm going to be giving out cars, so stick around."

"Damn the consequences, you know you can probably fly. If you can't, imagine the thrill of the fall."

So excited for Stage Dive #2...but apparently I am going to have to wait until 2014....not impressed.

Anyways, great job Kylie Scott!

Until my next blog...

Lick: Stage Dive #1 By Kylie Scott Part 1

Sunday, September 1st-Started

Yes, I will take another round of Vegas please!!

This book has many aspects that I love to read about; Tattooed Bad Boy, Vegas and a Rock Star...yeah baby!!

This book is recommended since I read Shine Not Burn and since I thoroughly enjoyed that book a lot, I thought...'twist my arm' I will read this next.

Maybe this will be a 'Pull my hair and call my Susie' kind of book...who knows...

Until my next Blog when I have finished my book, I will let you know then.
