Dark Frame By: Iris Blaire


(N) This book is the second book in the East Park series,  Evan is off to Harvard and with being so far away she from East Park she decides to quit East Park Exposure. But when the new owner A.J. Harrison calls Evan up and offers her fifty thousand dollars if she agrees to do one more issue, the Halloween issue Evan is back to modeling and back to being Rylan Willow. And when A.J. doesn't like any of her shoots with the new male models Evan will have to shoot with Dallas, the guy she broke up with when he went to work on his research in Costa Rica and Evan thinks that all their relationship was based on was nothing more than lust and lies.
     Much like Evan's modeling A.J. is unhappy with the way to photo shoots are going and with each dismiss Britain is becoming more unhappy and less inspired. Under the reign of A.J. Britain's artistic view of East Park Exposure is gone and the issue is becoming more and more Halloween-themed S&M  and something none of the models are comfortable shooting.
     It was nice getting to read from Britain's point of view in this story but having said that this book was nowhere near as good as the first book (Exposure) in the series. If you like the first book and want to continue with the series then I say go ahead and read this but if you are unsure I say maybe wait awhile before reading this book or not read this book at all.

(N) Haley has always felt as though she was living in the shadow of her identical twin sister Kenzie. Wanting to get out of her shadow and be her own person Haley decides to go to a different college one away from her sister. Now at college Haley is her own person and has set her sights on Liam, a guy she's known her whole life and the one that she has always wanted. So Haley takes a chance and does something that changes her whole life.
     Liam Masters, is the quarterback to his college football team, he is known to many as stubborn, cocky, gorgeous and someone who you don't want to get on his bad side. Liam has always gotten what he wants that is until he finds out that Haley a girl he has known forever used him. Now torn and shattered by what has happened he decides to make Haley feels just as bad as he does. Only one person knows the truth about everything and just how bad these two care about each other her name is Quinn and she's Haley's best friend and roommate and Quinn does what she can to make things right.
    I really didn't know what to expect from this book and it turned out to be really good and I managed to finish this whole book in a day.  I would defiantly recommend this book for anyone to read. 

First and Forever By: Alyssa Rose Ivy


(N) This is the fourth book in the Crescent Chronicles Series and is told through Levi's point of view. This book is two separate books, First which I have already blogged about and Forever which picks up where First leaves off. With Levi showing Allie who he really is and ends just where Flight did with Levi and Allie at their engagement party and Allie telling Levi that she doesn't love him.
       I really hope that the author decides to finish writing the whole series from Levi's point of view because this series just gets better with each book. In this book you get to see even more how much Levi cares for Allie. You get to understand more of why Levi decided to give Allie the ring when he did and the reason behind it. 
     At the end of this book there is a short bonus story called the Royal Wedding. In this short story the point of view switches back and forth between Allie and Levi on their wedding day and the beginning of their honeymoon together. We get to read about both Allie and Levi's emotions on their magical day and the beginning of the rest of their lives.

Beautiful Oblivion By: Jaime McGuire


(N) This is the first book in the Maddox Brothers Series, this book focus on Trenton Maddox and Camille (Cami). We briefly met Trenton in Beautiful Disaster during the family poker game and Thanksgiving dinner as well as Trenton was the one to look after Abbey at Travis' fight the night of the fire.
       Cami tends a bar at The Red Door with her best friend/roommate. Besides work Cami doesn't have much time for anything else expect for classes and homework. When her boyfriend T.J cancels on coming home to visit her from California again Cami goes out and ends up starting to spend time Trenton. Cami believes that she can Trenton can just be friends and nothing more but as the two grow closer and the line between friends and something more become thinner Cami doesn't want to be the reason that Trenton and his family break apart.
      Trenton was the king of Eastern State University, he had guys wanting to be him and girls wanting to be with him. Then after a tragic accident Trenton leaves school and moves back in with his father left to deal with his guilt. Months after the accident Trenton is working full-time at a tattoo shop and still living at home with his widow father. Just as life is starting to return back to normal Trenton sees Cami sitting alone at the Red Door and from there his life becomes anything but normal.
      What was interesting about the book was that it started before Travis met Abby so we were able to get a look at their relationship from a third party's perspective from when Travis first talked about meeting Abby, to the break-up, and their getting married in Vegas. Another thing that I thought was interesting that I don't know if anyone else realized was how easy it was to figure out who T.J. was from the beginning. I mean it was pretty obvious as to why he was always referred to as T.J. and not his full name and only a few people had actually saw T.J. and knew what he looked like. Needless to say I was not surprised at the ending when it was revealed who T.J. was. Overall this was a good book and something I would recommend reading if you liked both Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster but that being said I would still have to say that my favorite story is still Abby and Travis' story.

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.
