Allure By: Lacey Weatherford

(N) Allure was a good book not a great book but a good book. It is a book about two people Six, a twenty-two year old tattoo artist by day and an exotic dancer by night and seventeen year old Brooklyn trying to be together dispute their age difference and Brooklyn's father, the mayor. This book is definitely something that I would recommend to anyone to read as it was something that I found interesting and worth continuing to read as a series. Again it just wasn't something that I would call my favorite but that doesn't mean that it should't be read.
      Brooklyn has had her eye on Six for a while now but there's a problem, Brooklyn is sure that Six doesn't know she exists. Six is a friend of Brooklyn's older brother and the two have never officially met before. Brooklyn can't seem to let him go even though he's been in a relationship for months, or so she thinks.
      Six has had a thing for Brooklyn since he first laid eyes on her when she was just sixteen. But after finding out her age Six decides to steer clear from Brooklyn and the possibility of the two of them being together until she's eighteen. Six had successfully kept his distance from Brooklyn until one night when Brooklyn walks into the tattoo shop Six works at and asks him to give her a tattoo illegally. After that things come crumbling down and the two of them begin a romance one kept from her family because Brooklyn knows what could happen to Six if her father ever found out about the two of them being together.

Fall From India Place By: Samantha Young

(N) This is the fourth book in the On Dublin Street series and as much as I love this series this book just did not do it for me. This book focused on the ups and downs of Hannah and Marco and their friendship turned relationship. Throughout the book the time jumps between the present and the past. Through the past jumps we see how Hannah and Marco friendship coma about and how it came to be what it is now, with the two no longer friends and Hannah wanting nothing to do with Marco. I think the reason as to why I did not enjoy this book as much is because of the time jumps because time jumps have never really been a thing that peaked my interests. But I would still recommend this book if you are a fan of the series and do not mind a little time jumping.
      When we first see Hannah she is a school teacher and hasn't seen or heard from Marco since he broke her heart five years ago. Marco is the only boy that Hannah has ever loved and after one night of giving into her feelings for him and being with Marco he took off leaving both Hannah and Scotland behind. Heartbroken and shattered after what happened that night and the consequences that came with it Hannah has never really moved on and hasn't been the same with her family or anyone since.
      Leaving Hannah behind is something that Marco has always regretted doing even after five years. When Macro reunites with Hannah at a mutual friend's wedding Marco refuses to leave Hannah behind again. Macro is determined to get Hannah back and is doing so by reminding her of what they once had and could have again. And just when Hannah finally begins to trust Marco again she discovers an earth shattering secret that he has been hiding and suddenly Hannah can not see them having a future together.

Let Me Love You By: Megan Smith


(N) This is the fourth book in The Love Series and this story is Cooper and Jaylinn's story. What can I say about this story, well first off I can say that I couldn't really get into this book as much as the books I have previously read in the series. And it may just be that I favor MacKenzie and Hunter's relationship more than the other in the series but this just wasn't as interesting as their story and was tougher to follow.
        Jaylinn is determined to forget one horrible night which left her having nightmares and screaming out every night in fear. There is only one person who knows what happened that night and that is the one person that can take all of her pain away. But he is determined to keep Jaylinn at arms length. Jaylinn has loved Cooper her whole life but she doesn't know if he'll ever be able to forget what happened to her and just love her.
      Cooper has loved Jaylinn for years and wants to help her put the pieces back together after the incident. As much as Jaylinn wants to take her and Cooper's relationship to the next level Cooper feels as though he is unworthy of Jaylinn. And when Cooper has to choose between her baseball and Jaylinn all becomes lost and Cooper doesn't know if he'll ever be able to have again what he once lost.
