Mack Daddy By: Penelope Ward


(N) They called him Mack Daddy. No, seriously, his name was Mack. Short for Mackenzie. Thus, the nickname. Perfect, right?
       He was perfect. The perfect physical male specimen.
       At the private school where Francesca teaches, Mack Morrison is the only man around a sea of women.
       Everyone wanted a piece of the hot, single father of the sweet little boy.
       Seeing all these women fawn over him, turned Francesca into a woman she didn't recognize, someone riddled with jealously, because they didn't know that to her, he was much more.
       They didn't know about the past Francesca and Mack shared.
       Mack chose Francesca's school for his son on purpose, because Mack and Francesca have some unfinished business.
       Francesca's still intensely attracted to Mack. She's tried to resist him, immersing herself further into a relationship with someone else just to protect her heart. Not to mention getting involved with a parent was strictly against school rules. But seeing Mack day in and day out was breaking her down. And soon she just might be breaking all the rules.

      From the synopsis of Mack Daddy I didn't think that I would like this book. But I've read and enjoyed a few books by Penelope Ward before so I thought that I would give this book a read. To say I was surprised was an understatement. Once I started reading I couldn't stop, I just couldn't seem to want to put Mack Daddy down. And that's how it went for most of the story, with me repeatedly telling myself one more chapter, one more chapter, even when I knew I should be putting the book down. But then as I got towards the end, that's when the book started to go downhill for me. That's not to say the story wasn't still good, it just wasn't as good as the story up until that point. In all certainty I cannot say for sure if this is a book I would recommend or not.

Breaking Hollywood By: Samantha Towle

 (N) It wasn't supposed to be like this. Ava wasn't supposed to be boyfriendless, homeless, and jobless at twenty-eight years old. And she most definitely wasn't supposed to hit Hollywood's resident bad boy Gabriel Evans with her car breaking his foot.
     Now Ava's guilt and homelessness have her living in his apartment, taking care of him, while he's incapacitated.
     Living with the hottest guy in Hollywood, who she's had a crush on forever, doesn't sound like a chore, right?
     Wrong. Gabriel Evans is a crude, rude asshole who drinks way too much and smokes like a chimney. The sooner she gets herself a new place and when Gabriel's foot is all healed, she's out of there. So why does she keep forgetting to check the classified? And why does she keep getting flustered when she sees him shirtless?
     Breaking Hollywood wasn't part of the pain, but neither was falling in love with him.

     This was yet another hit for Samantha Towle, I could not seem to put Breaking Hollywood down. I managed to finished this book in no time at all and that was all due to Towle's writing. She just has this way to writing that gets you invested in the reading and once you start, you don't want to stop till it's over. If you haven't read Breaking Hollywood yet, then I suggest you do.

On A Tuesday By: Whitney G.

(N) They met on a Tuesday. Became best friends, then lovers, on a Tuesday. And it all fell apart on a Tuesday...
      For Grayson, Charlotte Taylor already has three automatic strikes: 1) She hates him. She also claims that he's a "domineering jerk with a huge, overbearing ego." 2) She takes their mandatory tutoring sessions way too seriously.  3) She's sexy as hell...And a virgin.
     These were her strikes before their study sessions started lasting longer and longer than they were supposed to. Until one innocent kiss became a hundred dirty ones, and until she became the first woman Greyson ever fell hard for.
      Their future after college was supposed to be set: Professional football for him and law school for her. But she left him at the end of the semester with no explanation and then she completely disappeared from his life.
      Until tonight.
      They met on a Tuesday. Became everything, then nothing on a Tuesday. And now seven years later they meet again on a Tuesday...

      Going into this I wasn't exactly sure what to expect from Whitney G. From the sample I read of On A Tuesday I thought I would like this book enough to give it a read but not to the extent to which I do. I could not seem to put this book down and finished it in no time at all. That's when I knew this would be a book that I would definitely read again and one I recommend others read.

The Lost One (Lost Series #1) By: Liz Lovelock

(N) Melodi White was just like every other girl, but then one day her life was ripped to shreds by her sister's heartless boyfriend. It's been three years since Abby was taken from her life. To Melodi, Abby wasn't just her sister, she was her twin, and her best friend.
       Deciding to follow through their childhood dream of moving to New York, Melodi heads for a life of adventure and fun. One night, while out on the town, Melodi finds herself wrapped in the arms of a gorgeous, drop-dead sexy man, Corban. He literally swept Melodi off her feet, took her breathe away with a single kiss and left her wanting more, a feeling that was completely alien to her.
      Corban Andrews, CEO of Case Construction is wealthy, sexy and ravishing and is set to make Melodi wold come undone. Hesitantly, she puts her trust in him.
      When a familiar face from her past reappears, it might push her so far into the darkness, Corban and Melodi may not survive.

       The Lost One was an okay book, one that was good enough to finish reading but not good enough for me to want to continue on with this series. I just couldn't seem to get into this book enough to want to find out what happened next in the series.

Let's Get Textual By: Teagan Hunter

(N) A wrong number is supposed to be just that -  a wrong number, delete and done. Do not continue to text and definitely do not flirt back. A wrong number shouldn't be the first person on your mind in the morning, or the last at night...and you're definitely not supposed to talk them into buying a baby goat. Because that would be weird.
       When Zach Hastings and Delia get into a wrong-number mix-up, they don't follow the rules. The two keep flirting and texting, because he's funny and perfectly nerdy and a wonderful distraction.
        Delia wasn't looking for love and Zach definitely had the wrong number. But maybe...maybe he's the right guy.

      Let's Get Textual was a surprising read, it didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. And for the most part I did enjoy reading this book but with that being said, it seemed as the book went on everything just seemed to go a little downhill. And I didn't find myself as interested as I once was.

Heartless (An Enemies To Lovers Novel #1) By: Michelle Horst

(N) She was warned that Carter Hayes is heartless. He's part of the screw crew, he'll just use you and leave you. He's ruthless and always gets what he wants. You'll always be able to find him just look for the long trail of broken hearts and dreamy signs and there he'll be. Hot as sin, Carter.
       Della doesn't have time to fall head over heels for any guy. Besides, he'd never notice someone like her. Della has a three year plan. Get through college, get a job, and get her sister out of the hell hole Della left her in. These three things are the only things that Della has time for.
       That is until Della overhears of the betting pool the guys have started. Whoever screws her first gets the money. The moment Carter looks at her, she knows it's only because of the bet. Their first kiss was just for show and nothing more. and Della hates her heart for falling for Carter's irresistible charms. All it looks is one foolish moment for Della to realize she just let him have four hundred dollars. And it takes all she has to lie to herself and pretend that Carter was just one last screw before leaving for college. Four years later she's finally ready to take the final step in her plan to save her sister and in walks guess who.

         I wasn't expecting to like Heartless at all. When I first read the sample to Heartless I thought that it seemed interesting enough. I just never realized how interested I would actually be in it. I could not seem to put this book down once I started reading it. This was a nice surprise for me because lately I haven't been reading the most interesting books and didn't expect this one to be any different. So the fact that I had this book I could not seem to stop reading was a nice treat.

Hate to Love You By:Tijan

(N) Kennedy had three rules. Rule #1 No hot guys. It might sound ridiculous and it kind of was but college was going to be her sanctuary. College would be when Kennedy would be able to start over. Where the whispers, the rumors, and the jealousy she dealt with all through high school would all be gone. In college no one would know who Kennedy was. 
       Rule #2 No Drama. She'll major in pre-law, make a few loyal friends and everything would be easy-breezy. No one was going to use or hurt Kennedy. She wouldn't let them.
       Rule #3 New Year. New place. New Kennedy.
       These are the three rules Kennedy was determined to live by while in college. But all that went out the window all because of Shay Coleman. Football captain and quarterback, he was the big man on campus. The cocky guy in her political science class with a smirk.
      Kennedy hates him on sight...and he was about to break all of her rules. 

      Here's to another hit for Tijan. I yet again found myself addicted to another one of Tijan's books. I could not seem to put Hate to Love You down even when I had to, like when I needed to catch some sleep or when I needed to head out in the morning for work. Those times in between when I could read again seem so far between and once I finally was able to start reading again I couldn't seem to stop. If you haven't read Hate to Love You yet then I suggest that you do.
