Nothing Left To Lose By:Kirsty Moseley


(N) This is yet another book that I got for free and was a little on the fence on whether or not I would actually like it or finish the book considering that it was a little over 500 pages. But again I was pleasantly surprised by how good this book was and it was because of how good this book was that I managed to finish it in three days.
         Annabelle had a life that anyone  would want but that all changed on the day of her sixteenth birthday. That was the day that she watched her boyfriend Jack got murdered right in front of her eyes and then was kept kidnapped for ten months by Jack's killer, Carter Thomas a big time drug and arms dealer.  Ten months are being kept away Anna is a completely different person, one who suffers from horrible night terrors, has tried multiple times to kill herself, and seems to be just a hollow figure of the girl she once was. 
        (May contain spoilers)   Three years later Carter is serving time for the murder of Jack but a retrial in coming up soon because of some evidence appears to have been tampered with. And unbeknownst to Anna she has been receiving letters from Carter, these letters come once a week. They are both letters of death threats as well as letters telling her that Carter wants her back. In order to keep her safe and make sure that she stays out of trouble Ashton, a newly SWAT agent is brought in to go undercover and pose as Anna's boyfriend until the end of the trial in eight months. 
   I did not want to put this book down for anything. It was one of those books that got you right from the beginning. I loved that with Ashton Anna was able to finally let someone in and be able to feel something for someone, something she never thought she would feel again. With Ashton's help Anna begins to let go of the fears that she has had for so long. You could not help but feel for Ashton and Anna's relationship and want them to last after the eight months were up and it was no longer Ashton job to protect Anna.

Thin White Line By: J.A. Templeton

(N) This is another book that I got for free and was not expecting to enjoy but again was actually pleasantly surprised when I began reading. While reading this book I could not put it down and now that it's over I want to read the next installment in this series. This is a book that I will definitely read again and an author that I will be on the look out for to see what they come up with next. 
        Kenzie had a great life in California you could almost call it picture perfect that was until her father left Kenzie'a mom and her family for a younger woman. After her father leaves Kenzie goes from living a posh life and going to private school to moving to Washington with her mom, going to public school and living in a small apartment. On Kenzie's first day of school she is reunited with her cousin Brooke who she hasn't seen in years. Brooke is completely different than when Kenzie last saw her, Brooke is lead singer in a popular rock band and now does drugs.  
      Soon Kenzie follows her cousin into her world and does things she never thought she would. Things that involve drugs, rock concerts, and bad boy rockers. In Brooke's band there are to different guys that have caught Kenzie's attention hot and notorious womanizer Ryder, and straight laced, tattooed, and pierced Deklan. Even though Ryder is who Kenzie is with she cannot keep her eyes off of Deklan.

Forgive Me By: Ashley Beale

(Nicole)   Lexi was forced to leave her home and live with her grandma ten years ago and hasn't return since, until now. When she does come home she is not alone and her family is more than a little surprised by who Lexi has brought back with her. Lexi now has to explain why at only 24 years old she has a nine year old son that unbeknownst to her no one knew about. Along with telling her family Lexi has to come up with the courage to tell Zander that he has a son that he never knew about and she has to do it before he gets married in two weeks. To make matters worse her feelings for him have never changed and she still loves him even after all these years, in the end she has to decide if she wants to stay in Texas with her family or go back to Ohio to live with her grandma. 

        When I first read this book it was just the sample of it and it sounded really good so I brought the book right away. It was because I brought this book that I forced myself to read through the whole book just so that I got my money's worth of it. Up until about half way through the book is when I would guess that the book started to become boring and the more I read the more I just really wanted it to end. So I can say that this is a book that I really would not recommend or read again.

Beautiful Broken Mess By:Kimberly Lauren


(Nicole) This book is the second book in the Broken series. Beautiful Broken Mess is Audrey and Jace's story. Audrey's dated Jaxon years ago and it ended horribly and because of that Jace (Jaxon's identical twin) tries to put his feelings aside for Audrey. But there comes a point when Jace sees Audrey again and all of those feelings come back and soon he has to decide if his feelings for Audrey are worth the backlash he could receive from his brother and family.

Growing up Audrey didn't have the best home life. Despite having such a bad home life Audrey doesn't give up and deal with the cards that she has been dealt instead as soon as she graduates from high school she moves away from her home to California.  There she meets Lane her now best friend and the two of them end up going to school at the same place as the one guy that she has always loved and the one guy who could end up breaking her heart.

You first meet Audrey in Beautiful Broken Rules and when we do our initial thoughts about her is that she's trouble and a character that no one would not like. But that changes with this story. In a Beautiful Broken Mess we get more of a back story with Audrey and she why she went to visit Jaxon. I'll admit when I first saw that this book was about Jace and Audrey I was not really excited to read it because I really didn't like Audrey's character in Beautiful Broken Mess but I'm glad that I finally broke down and read this book because I really enjoyed it.

Vampire Most Wanted (Argeneau #20) By:Lynsay Sands


(Nicole) Vampire Most Wanted is book 20 in the Argeneau series, I gave this book a 3 out of 5. Basha Argeneau,  now going by Madame Divine, Divine for short has been on the run from her family for over two millenniums. Divine has been hiding out in carnivals as a fortune teller. She is doing anything to stay under the radar from her Uncle Lucian who she believes wants her dead. 
       Marcus Notte is new to working in the carnival world but he's not here to stay. Marcus has a job to do, he has been asked by Lucian Argeneau to find out if Divine is Basha Argeneau and if she is than bring her in for questioning. But along the way Marcus comes to realize that Divine isn't the person that Lucian thinks she is.
       I gave this book a 3 because I have read many books in the Argeanau series and it is sad to say but this book did not keep me as interested as previous books in the series had. Although that is not to say that you shouldn't read this book because you should I just mean that usually I cannot put these books down where as this one I could.

Bet In The Dark By:Rachel Higginson

(Nicole) I first started reading this book because I got it for free. Although before I even started reading this book I was a little skeptic because I have read a lot of free books and most of them were not worth reading let alone finishing and that's how I thought this reading would be. But it is nice to say that I was way off with this book. The book started off kind of slow but soon became a book that I just could not put down.  

In Bet in the Dark Ellie Harris wanted a life away from her overbearing parents and older brothers. She just broke up with her high school boyfriend who cheated on her and who Ellie followed to college. Ellie's luck gets even worse when her roommate steal her identity, sells her furniture, and leaves town with no warning and two months worth of back rent. Then Ellie meets Fin who insists that she owes him seven thousand dollars from an online poker game. Fin gives her six weeks to pay up, Ellie agrees to work for Fin in order to pay him back for money she doesn't have and a debt that isn't even hers. Soon Ellie develops feelings for Fin and will either have to pay the debt which isn't hers or take the chance that her feelings are worth money than the money owed.
