Honor and Betray By:Teresa Mummert

(Nicole) I have been a fan of the Honor series since the first book came out. I have read each book many times over in the span of just a few days and waited months for this book to come out. So needless to say that I had high expectations for this book and I was sadly disappointed when I read it. This book was exactly the same as Honor and Obey the only difference being that this book was told through William's perspective.
       When I read Honor and Obey I had a feeling a to what the betray would be for this book. And sad to say I was right. I say that because it was very obvious in the last book want the betray was even though all you had to go off of was Emma's perspective. So I really just spent most of the book bored just wanting to finish it.

Easy To Love You By:Megan Smith

(Nicole) This book is the second book in the Love Series, and Smith has done it again with another book that I just couldn't put down. This book picks up just where the last one left off with Mackenzie in the hospital and no sign of when she's going to wake up. But then things take a turn when Hunter starts keeping things from Mackenzie and soon everyone is in on the secret except for Mackenzie. 
      I give this book four stars, every time you think you're going to know what happens next a new twist happens. When Mackenzie finally wakes up in the hospital you think that if her and Hunter can live through this then they can live through anything. Smith has done another amazing job in keeping the reader interested with both the plot line and the characters itself.

Tiger Magic (Shifters Unbound #5) By:Jennifer Ashley

(Nicole) This book is yet another book in the Shifters Unbound Series and like all the other books in the series once I started reading I could not stop. I literally read this 315 page book in just a few hours. I could not put it down there was never a time while reading where I was like 'ok I can leave at this part and come back in a few hours.' I just couldn't put it down. After the ending of every chapter I just had to keep reading into the next chapter to see what happens next. Hours few by before I finally realized how long I had actually been reading for. I would give this book five stars.
         Shifter Tiger doesn't have a name or a family and not many in Shiftertown trust him. Tiger has been held prisoner by humans for the last forty years and now a year later he is free and with other shifters. Carly Randal is human and thinks her life is great. That is until her car breaks down on the side of the road and Tiger is the one who comes and helps her out and from there her whole life changes. When Tiger meets Carly he knows right away that she is his mate, and Carly is just as drawn to him as he is to her. Together they risk everything when humans and shifters alike question the kind of shifter Tiger is.

Three Hearts One Soul By:Bec Botefuhr

(Nicole) This book is such a good book but it is also one of those heart breaking books that I have read before. As soon as I started reading this book I could not put it down. I can only count on one other time that a book I was reading had me crying. This book was completely different it not only made me cry but it broke me down. Less than half way through this book it had me in tears, every time I finally got control over myself I ended up crying again. It was heartbreaking to read about such a great friendship between Jase, Whiskey, and Nevaeh but then one night changed everything and the three of them haven't seen each other in five years. Then during a shift at the hospital Nevaeh sees Jase for the first time in years only to learn that he is dying from Cancer. Jase knows he's dying and he wants Nevaeh's help in finding his brother Whiskey (who he also hasn't seen in years). The heart breaking part was when the three would talk about the past and all that they have been through and just hearing about Jase dying during this horrible time.

Found By: Alyssa Rose Ivy

(Nicole) This is the final book in The Crescent Chronicles series, I am sad that this is the last book in the series because it was a series that I could not put down. This book picks up right where the last one left off with Allie's best friend from back home Jess kidnapped by Allie's ex-boyfriend and Pteron Toby. Allie spends most of the book trying to figure out how to get her best friend back and how is it that she just happens to have dated two Pterons unknowingly. When she finally does discover the truth about what she is things only go from bad to worse. She goes from two guys wanting her to three guys going after her all of them wanting Allie to be their mate. Although she's made up her mind they won't go away and as time goes on she starts to have bad reactions from her bond with Levi.
         This books is a five star book from a five star series. I stayed up late just to finish the book because I could not put it down no matter how hard I tried. There wasn't anything not to love about this book. Just like the books before this it was a book that had you eating out of the palm your hands. And I cannot wait to read the next series following the Pterons with the Empire Chronicles.

The Moon And More By:Sarah Dessen

(Nicole) I have been reading books by Sarah Dessen for years now and there has only been one other time when I didn't like a book that she wrote. By for this book is was by far the most boring book by her that I have read. I could not even finish this book because I just couldn't get into it. I only made it half way through the story before I gave up and brought the book back to the library. It was disappointing because I really do love her books and have brought every single one of them. I think one of the reason why it was so hard to read was because I couldn't relate to any of the characters and none of them were really likable. In the end I'm glad that I got this book from the library because it really wasn't worth buying.

Down London Road By: Samantha Young

(Nicole) This book is the second book of the On Dublin Street series, this book focuses on Jo and Cameron (Cam). Jo has always been the one to take care of her family for years; her mother is an alcoholic, her father is gone, and her brother, Cole is only fourteen years old. Jo makes all of her decisions based on what is best for Cole even if that means only dating men with money whether or not she has strong feelings for them. Then Jo meets Cam a new bartender at her job and right away the two cannot have a conversation without arguing. Cam thinks that Jo is just another girl who dates men just because they have money and nothing more. Although Jo doesn't like to admit it every time Cam's around she gets butterflies. When Cam wants to get to know Jo better she just won't let him in, then the least expected thing happens Cam moves into the flat right below Jo's and from there it becomes impossible for them not to get to know each other better and develop feelings for each other.
       Although this book took a while to get into before I knew it I could not put this book down. I think that Samantha has done it again creating another book that was impossible to resist. Every time I tried to put this book down to go to bed I had to continue reading into the next chapter just to see what happened next.

Belong To You By:Vi Keeland


(Nicole) After canceling her wedding two months earlier Sydney is spending her honeymoon with her best friend Sienna in Hawaii. Sydney has spent the last seven years with the same man, Michael her now ex-fiancĂ© and now she doesn't know what to do. Sienna comes up with the idea for Sydney to have a week long honeymoon affair with a stranger. Her first night into the trip she meets Jack and right away these two feel an attraction for each other so the two come up with a plan. They each get to ask the other ten personal questions to the other and no more than that and when the week is over they both go their separate ways. But during the week Sydney begins to realize that what she felt for Michael wasn't actually love.
         This book is said that if you're a fan of the Bared To You and the Fifty Shades Series then you'll love this series and as a fan of both series I have to agree this book is amazing. This book won't necessarily remind you of the series it is just that you get the feel of the two series.    

Possess Me Slowly By:Joya Ryan


(Nicole) This is the second book in the Possess Me series, after finding out her ex-boyfriend is engaged to another woman and her boss went to jail for embezzlement Megan moves to New York where she take a job as a night manager. Megan feels guilty for her parent investing everything into her boss' scam  based on her idea and now she does whatever she can to fix it. The she meets Preston Strauss, a hotel mogul who comes up with an idea. He needs a wife in order to get controlling interest in his family's empire and in exchange he'll give Megan five million dollars at the end of their three-year marriage as well as a weekly allowance. This is just what Megan needs to help her family and make right her mistake.
    (spoiler)  This book was just as good as the first one. I knew as soon as I read the part in the contract between Megan and Preston where it stated that if she were to become pregnant that the contract would become void I knew without a doubt that something was going to happen.

The Rocker That Needs Me By:Terri Anne Browning

(Nicole) This book is the third book in The Rocker That series and as soon as I bought this book I could not put it down. This whole series is addicting right from the beginning. In this book the relationship that we see are Drake and Lana. We caught a glimpse in the last book but now we really get to see inside their relationship. Throughout the whole book the drama just continued every time you'd think that the two would stay together something always happened to keep them apart. This is due mostly to Drake's drinking problems and when he does try to get better there is still something that keeps the two from being together. Either way this is a book that once you start reading is hard to put down.

If I Should Die By:Amy Plum




(Nicole) This was yet another series that I was sad to see end because I couldn't get enough of the story line and characters. I mangaed to finish this book in only a couple of hours much to the surprise of my mother but i just couldn't put this book down. I had to see how Vincent and Kate's relationship turned out, if they were able to save Vincent from Violette in time. I was so upset when I finished this book because then that meant that the series was over.(Spoiler) The shocking point in the story is when we find out that Vincent isn't the Champion like everyone thought but the real Champion all along was Kate. And in battle it was when with the help of revenants from around the world who could see Kate's light when she transition that were what they needed to beat Violette and kill enemy. 

Forever Too Far By:Abbi Glines



(Nicole) I have been addicted to the Fallen too Far series since the first book came out last year and now here's the last book in the trilogy. Now it's the end of the series and once again I could not put this book down just like the two before. I loved that we were finally able to meet Rush's father who turned out to be not as bad as I thought he would be. And as always there was drama and yet again it was all because of Nan and her wanting to be the center of attention. Making Rush chose yet again between Blaire and his son or Nan the person that he's always taken care of. I loved how this book ended and we were able to see how Rush was with his son and see how much he cared for his son as well as Blaire. This book ended on such a good note and it's good to know that although this series is over Abbi's coming out with another spin-off to the series this time with Grant and Harlow (Nan's half-sister). 

 (Spolier) We got a preview in this book to see what this spin-off series would be with a chapter in both Grant's point-of- view and Harlow's point-of-view. We were also able to get a peak into the relationship with Della and Woods together after Twisted Perfection ended. The highlight in this book is when Blaire took out her gun yet again but this time pointed it at Angelina who was betting up Della because Woods chose her.

Promise Me Darkness by:Paige Weaver


(Nicole) I don't know what I thought this book would be about when I started reading it but it was nowhere near what I imagined it to be about. At first I thought the darkness that it talks about in the title refered to the fact that Ryder Delaney was a bad boy but not just any type of bad boy. That type of guy that your parents told you to stay away from. But it was really nothing like that and only after reading less than half of the book I wasn't so sure that I even wanted to continue reading.  


(spoiler) And then I did continue reading and what I got confused the hell out of me. I thought that it would just be the about a relationship between Ryder and Maddie. Then all of a sudden in the middle of the book they're at a club and the ground shacks and the lights go out. Come to find out the darkness is because the U.S. was bomb on their electrical grid causing the country to go into complete darkness. Now Ryder, Maddie and two of her friends have to travel on foot through the hot Texas desert to get back home to their families. Along the way they run into criminals who rob them for their food, water, and car. By the end of the trip they all make it back home to their family Maddie stays with Ryder's family along with her father. While staying together Maddie and Ryder's relationship is rocky with  a repeated on and off cycle.
            What I didn't like about this book was that it really freaked me out. It didn't help that I was reading this book at night in my room with the lights off. It made me start thinking about the what ifs. What if this actually happened? What if we had to go back to the stone age where everyone had to live off of the land without any electricity and everyone fighting each other for food?

Damaged By: H.M. Ward

(Nicole)  When I first read the summary of Damaged I thought that it was going to be such a great book.  I thought it was going to be one of those books that you can't put down but was I wrong. When I started reading Damaged I did get into it but after a while the book got to be predictable. It was easy to figure out what Sidney's secret was and when she was so damaged. What was surprising was that Peter was also damaged. And that was the reason for Peter backing out at the last minute when he and Sidney first met and went back to his place. It wasn't until the end of the book that you get a sense of why these two are so good together. But by that time I was already over the book and only finished reading because I was already halfway through the book. I don't recommend reading this book it is just another story about a teacher and his student falling for each other just with it's own twist to it.

Walking Disaster By: Jaime McGuire


This book is the follow-up to Beautiful Disaster. This story is told from Travis' point of view rather than Abby's point of view like it was in the first book. Now we get to see Travis' side to the story of how the two met and ultimately fell in love in a world full of women, gambling, and fighting.

After reading the first book and waiting months for this book to come out Walking Disaster fell short to expectations.

(M) This book was definitely not my favorite.  I felt that many parts were skipped and awkward time lapses were taken.  The epilogue randomly jumps 11 years with no explanation why it was that particular amount.  Even though it was nice to see what happened with the characters in the future it still left me confused.
      You also didn't really get a sense of Travis as a character.  It was basically the same explanations you got in Beautiful Disaster.  I wished that you got to see what Travis did when he wasn't with Abby, but the author just skipped over all of that.  I don't feel like I know his character better since reading this.  If I had my choice I would just read the first one.  It was a waste of time and money to read this.

(N) In my opinion this book was nowhere near as good as the first book. I thought that reading Travis' point of view would give me more insight to how he felt about Abby and meeting her. But really it was nothing like that. This book was literally like reading the first one over again with just a few differences in between. One thing that really got me going was I thought that I was finally going to be able to find out how Travis felt in his drunk state when he and Abby first kissed or the time when he hooked up with those two girls. But even then you don't know how he feels about what happens cause it just jumps to the next day and him waking up. So you really never know what Travis was thinking all you have to go on is Abby's point of view.
           At one point I got so fed up with the book that I just skipped over a few chapters until I found the book interesting again. The only good thing in this book was the epilogue when it was eleven years into the future and you get to find out what happens with Travis and Abby. In my opinion I would just say to read the first book and don't even bother with this one.
