The Assistant By: Elle Brace

(N) Although this book was a good book and I would recommend it to anyone it did has it points towards the end where it felt as though the book was dragging on but for the most part this book was really good and definitely something that I will read again and would recommend any one to read. 
      Emily Johnson is in need go a job. What she isn't in need for is 25-year old billionaire Adrian Kingston, the world's most eligible bachelor and Emily's new boss. Adrian is known for being difficult and expects Emily to work late nights and early morning for him as his new assistant. Besides being an aggravating boss Adrian is also a playboy who is used to getting what he wants when it comes to women and what he want now is Emily.
    Adrian has some mornings when he has women coming in and out of his office all day one right after the other. It is as though he could never get enough of women and when he's not spending time with all of those with he is sending off sexual innuendos and flirtations Emil's way. But Emily wants nothing to do with Adrian and his demanding workload and all of those jealous girls that come and go from his office. But Adrian wants Emily whose nothing like his usual type. He wants the one girl who always says no to him. 

Take A Chance By: Abbi Glines

(N) So I waited forever to start reading this book even though it's been on my kindle for months and in the end I am glad that I did because this book was no where near as good as the books in the Too Far series. When I first read the tidbit on how Harlow and Grant felt about each other in Forever Too Far I was interested in seeing what happened next but by the time the book came out and I had read the sample of it I wasn't really sure how I felt. Now with having finished reading the book I can say that although I loved the Too Far series I don't feel the same way about this series.
      In the beginning of the book we find that Harlow is living in Rosemary Beach with Nan while their father is once again out on tour with his rock band. But the problem with living in Rosemary Beach with Nan is that Nan hates Harlow. The other problem, Grant who has spelt with Nan and a guy that Harlow wants nothing to do with. But Harlow can't seem to escape Grant.
      Grant made a huge mistake when he slept with Nan and he regrets it now more than ever when he begins to have feeling for Nan's half-sister Harlow. No matter how hard he tries Grant cannot resist Harlow who makes his pulse races every time he sees her. Grant is desperate to make Harlow see that he's not the guy she makes him out to be.

Mason By: Tijan


(N) I have been in love with the Fallen Crest series since the beginning, growing more in love with the series with each book and this book was no different. I loved getting inside Mason's head and seeing things that we have never seen before with the other books in the series. I loved reading more about the relationship between Mason and Logan and just how close the two of them really are. The fact the Logan considers Mason his father and that Mason practically raised Logan speaks volumes to how close the two of them are and how horrible their parents were in raising them.
        Unsurprisingly was seeing how right away Mason did not like Analise and knew that she was bad news from the very beginning. But what was probably one of the best parts of the book was during the last chapter of the book when Mason sees Sam for the first time and is immediately taken with her. I really hope that Tijan decides to make a Fallen Crest High from Mason's point of view because reading this only made me want to read more from Mason's perspective and see how he looked at things during Fallen Crest High.

A Beautiful Wedding By: Jamie McGuire

(N) I loved reading Beautiful Disaster but did not like reading Walking Disaster so when this book came out I was on the fence about reading it because I knew that it could go either way so I held off on reading it. I have finally read this book and it was upsetting to read this book and learn that that Abby didn't actually want to marry Travis as much as she wanted to marry him in order to give him an alibi for the night of the fire. It was as though  the author had ruined the relationship between Abby and Travis because the reason behind their wedding would forever be a lie between Abby and Travis. I hate how Abby never comes clean to Travis about the reason she asked him to marry her even after years of being together like it showed in Walking Disaster. What was also interesting was finding out that Abby did tell someone about her plans to marry Travis after she asked him and he kept the truth from Travis as well. For those who are fans of these books I suggest not reading this book and just waiting for the next book in the series to come out.

The One By: Kiera Cass

(N) This is the final book in The Selection series and I'm sad to see this story come to an end but at the same time this series is ready to come to an end. I read this story in a whole day, every time I wanted to stop reading I just could not out it down something kept me reading.
       That being said the story was good but not great although I am happy with whom America choose to end up with I am not happy with the book as a whole. It is now down to the final few and the possibility is even bigger than before that America could be the next Queen of Illea. America has finally made her chose and she is going to fight in order to stay in the competition and be with Maxon. But throughout the story America struggles with trying to keep out of trouble so that the King won't send her home before Maxon can chose her as his bride.
     It seems as though this series could have gone a number of ways for the storyline and conclusion. And the way that was chosen is one that I did not necessarily like. The story felt as though it was rushed and as if the author was trying to sum up everything in into this last book in as few pages as possible with little or no connection to things seen in the previous books. It also felt as though this book was all over the place. But if you are a fan of the series I suggest reading this book and seeing for yourself how this series ends.

Before Jamaica Lane By: Samantha Young

(N) Another hit for Samantha Young. It took me forever to start reading this book but once I started reading I could to put it down. This book is the third book in the Dublin Street series and this story focused on Nate and Olivia's story.
       Nate is a gorgeous player who never commits to any woman, he leaves these women before things can ever get serious. Nate is best friends with Olivia and they are closer than friends, Nate has a key to her apartment and stops by all the time where they watch movies together and play 'would you rather.'
         We met Olivia in the last book who is the daughter of Jo and Cole's uncle. Olivia's father raised her later in life after being introduced for the first time when she was in her teenage years. Olivia has never really felt comfortable with herself or found herself attractive. So when she develops a crush on Ben, a postgraduate student who frequents the library she works at Olivia can't help but get all tongue-tied every time he talks to her. Needing help Olivia turns to Nate who offers to teach her lessons in the art of feeling comfortable in her skin and getting what she wants.
       Things heat up when these two start the lessons and what was once a friendly lesson in seduction turns into an intense relationship that is kept hidden from their friends. Just when things start to get good Nate's past issues with commitment come up and they leave Olivia brokenhearted and without the company of her best friend. By the time Nate realizes his mistake it may be too late and his best friend Olivia may have already moved on and might not believe Nate when he tells Olivia that his feelings for her are real.

Fallen Crest Alternate Version By: Tijan

(N) This is an alternative version to the second book in the Fallen Crest series. When I first heard that there was going to be a second Fallen Crest book I looked it up to see if I could find out when it was going to be released and that's when I found the first few beginning chapters of the book online. But it wasn't until Fallen Crest Family came out and I read it that I was a little confused. I was confused because what I was reading in this book was not what I had read months ago instead what I had read was the beginning of this book a story that ended up being completely different.

This book was originally supposed to be the second book to the Fallen Crest Series but was later scrapped and was replaced with Fallen Crest Family. When I originally read Fallen Crest Family I was upset that the beginning chapters that I had read months before were not in this book but after reading this book I have to say that I'm glad that Tijan choose to do  Fallen Crest Family instead because it was a much better storyline. I cannot imagine how different the third and now fourth books would have been if Sam didn't change schools, there was no Heather, and Sam heard about Logan's feelings for her straight from the source. All and all this was a good book and if you are a fan of this series than I recommend reading this book just for fun and seeing how different everything would have been if this book was published as the second book in the series instead.
