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.

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.
