Because of Low (Sea Breeze, #2) by Abbi Glines


 

Because of Low (Sea Breeze, #2)

The second in the Sea Breeze series by Abbi Glines! So happy to have gotten to them and the three were done. I adore Abbi and her writing style. There is something so refreshing about her writing. The entire Breathe book we knew Marcus was gaga over Sadie. It took forever and we all knew he was awesome, smart and rich but she had her heart locked away for Jax.

 Now scrumptious Marcus Hardy opens his door to Willow aka Low! Yikes he is smitten. Marcus had to leave college and come home. His family was shattered and Cage has a room for rent so he takes it. When he sees her he is like “She has to be Cage’s sister he would never be in the middle of a hookup and leave unless it was.” He realizes he doesnt even know if Cage has a sister but she calls and Cage is running home

Low and Cage have a solid we grew up together friendship. Many times I shook my finger at the book too ! The relationship that starts with Low & Marcus is so intense, at the same time her relationship with Cage changes.

 

The characters were vivid and real. I liked the supporting characters too. It was sweet, sexy, emotional and fabulous! I did cry a few times, of course. My heart hurts for Cage, Marcus and Low they all needed love. This story is so well-written which makes book 3 so much more worth it!

 

Because of Low by Abbi Glines 5 stars go read it!!

Unravel Me by Kendall Ryan


Unravel Me

Well I LOVED this book. I will speak like one of my alternate personalities Stefan from SNL. This book had it all. A PhD. Student Ashlyn Drake, her BFF Liz who is a loose cannon, dancin drinking sorta pal, and the thesis on amnesia studies begins with John Doe/Logan/Aiden. Hoochie Momma what a set up. Let us begin with the set up, shall we? OK well when Ashlyn gets the call from her thesis director that she has a subject she is shocked and ready to bolt out the door. She is then told he is in the psych hospital being held for murder. That doesn’t stop her she is from a tough background, no Mom and her Dad taught her how to fight. 

Well the scene is set, John Doe is in the hospital and her heart drops. Yup he is hot and she is thinking “PhD, hhhmmmm research, gotta get to it” In between trying to get her thesis arguments constructed she is trying to help John Doe who she decides is Logan to remember. She is not at all in fear and seems calm when she is talking to him. He is more than willing to become the test subject and really willing to meet with her. They try a variety of questions and even music therapy. With each day she falls more into Logan. 

After seeing him for several weeks every day she decides to go out with Liz. Of course that is the night they release Logan and he never gets the message that she isnt going to show up. Walking home from the bar she sees Logan sleeping on a bench. Poor hottie has nowhere to sleep. Boo hoo benevolent Ash takes him home. She even refers to herself as Mother Teresa for being so kind. 

There is extreme heat, a lot of intrigue and mystery. Ashlyn’s best friend Liz is a hoot. She is pretty wild and even she questions Ash’s motives with Aiden. Finally a few pieces arew coming together and we find out who he is, who he was with and did he commit the murder.

The only bad thing was I thought it was too short. I could have read soooo much more. I can not wait for Kendall Ryan’s next book! Tweet this and get your friends to read it!!

 

Breathe (Sea Breeze, #1) by Abbi Glines


Breathe

I was in love on probably the 5th page. I loved Sadie, hated Jessica and adored Marcus. These characters were RICH in every way you can imagine. When this began I was pulled into Sadie’s drama filled life and I was so affected by it. What I didn’t get was what was Jessica affected by? I don’t think she knew. I guess she was so blessed with Sadie that it was a miracle that she didn’t have to find out how life without Sadie.

The story is basically about choices, dreams, real life and love. When you read it I know you will see that Sadie is amazingly mature, focused, smart, and distant. She really has nothing and is happy being simple with her Mom. When she moved from Tennessee she was doing it to start over because of her Mother’s unplanned pregnancy. She truly gets a dose of being free when she meets Ms Mary and Marcus. The poor girl took over a domestic job and within a few days had the respect of an affluent family and a rock star named Jax.

The rest of the domestic staff became the family she didn’t have. Though I think Ms. Mary was my fave!

Loved this book!! Really can’t wait for the next one

 

Reflected in You (Crossfire, #2) by Sylvia Day


hhhmmmm no ideas are coming into my pea sized brain at 1:15 am. I know I need to write a review but, after honestly being tortured by Gideon and his insatiable appetite I am exhausted. I honestly feel that the last 25% made up for the heart break I suffered through. Many times I just asked my fictional, gorgeous, hot, rich, and sex crazed book boyfriend to try to be happy. I really couldnt take so many ups and downs. I think it was in a way saying something over and over and trying to convince me that it was good. I really wanted them to get a HEA story, I needed it and craved it.

Like the first book I was so glad that therapy was there. I was glad Cary was emotionally and physically there for Eva too. The first book had me concerned. Yes I think they are really there in my head and maybe sometimes I talk to them, like I said to me they are REAL. So … the misconceptions and accusations were flying to the point I needed a shot of something myself. A lot was never dealt with and I am happy there is a 3rd book. I need closure and a mental health therapist for (in this order of priority) Gideon, Eva, Mr and Mrs Stanton, Cary, and possibly the Crossfire staff and admin personnel.

What I loved about the ending, and by that I mean the last 20-25% was that there was a reveal. Yeah I think it was a crappy reveal that left me hungry for more. What I need is the third book a bottle of wine and maybe Krav session in Brooklyn. That ain’t gonna happen, but in my mind I can only imagine.

 

Creed (Unfinished Hero, #2) by Kristen Ashley


 

First I must say this was by far the most emotional book of Kristen Ashley’s I have read. She really has a way of wording things that make you think “How can I be that direct and get the same response?”

First off this is the first past/present book she wrote that I remember. I liked it. I loved the bond that Tucker and Sylvie had. What I loved more was the explanation when it comes up as to why Sylvie calls him Creed. This was the ultimate bond and I don’t think I have read one like this since Paulina Simmons. When I use Paulina I mean business.

The characters of course come back including Knight. We all get the Nick Sebring is a bad apple part and that blows up too. The fact that Hector and Lee are in this is outrageous too. Is there anything Lee Nightingale cant touch? He is like all over the place taking care of business. Yummy

So to Sylvie, I adored her and I swear I think Kristen is Sylvie. Something about the description and the attitude that tells me I am right. In my world I am right. Also the way that Sylvie does things, makes me think she is the ultimate KA creation because she does them right. She never messes up and doesn’t need Indie or anyone to scoop her up, she is like a ninja.

I am going to babble more in my mind. Last time this was freakin awesome and I really would read it again. Don’t usually do that but the heat factor was off the chart and out of range.
