Torn by Amber Lehman


 

 

So into this book. While I love it more because it is “real” , but, I have gasped and held my hand over my mouth a few times over this past hour! So that says it is Really real! 

“This book will keep me up tonight for sure. At this point I am so seriously crushing on Brandon and Daemeon. I think Josh still needs a bitch slap! I think this review is going to be painful for me. I feel like I know them.”

Bluestone Homecoming (Welcome to Bluestone #1) by M.J. Fredrick


Bluestone Homecoming

 

First let me say this was a pretty emotional read, but totally with a big reward! War correspondent Leo Ericson returns to his hometown of Bluestone Lake, Minnesota. He lost his wife and his parents have had his son Max for a few months. Poor Max is dealing with the loss of his home, Mother and Father being away. The beginning is tough because he knows that he needs to work and seeing Max for a little while and then going back to work will be tough. Into the story is Trinity Madison who is the counselor for Max at school. There are a few reveals about Leo and also about Trinity that were REALLY good.

Of course Leo falls for her and there is a lot of emotions. Overall a really great book. I think the tough part was being a Mom thinking what would I do if I knew a kid like that.

Torn by Amber Lehman


Torn

I’m starting this just because I saw the authors page and I added it to my Goodreads. I will say I saw some reviews that were so bad. I ache when people get ARC books and then totally slam them. If you agree to the ARC and take it for an honest review, then do it. Why take one that is by definition so out of your normal reads? I will say it again and again I wont read Twilight cause I hate fuckin vampires! I wont read a Sci-Fy cause I hated E.T. when I was like 15. So if you are out of your realm, never got drunk, never had sex (don’t matter gay or straight) and never been to Newport Beach then don’t read the book. I get so worked up over this because people who are NOTHING judge in the worst way. If they were all that, I guess they would have a PhD and be published. So if you have a snarky remark save it that is why Im writing on my own blog and not the ones I do guest reviews for.

Down to You by M. Leighton


Down to You

This is a pretty hard one to write about without talking the big reveal. So, as far as the story, characters, and plot, I loved it, all of it. I liked Olivia and certainly liked Cash. I was a little confused with Nash (Cash’s twin)because of the Marissa situation. For the plot, Olivia going to move in with her snobby rich cousin, I loved it. The fact that she had to live there and the cousin was a bitch with a capital B was good. Now if they would have sabotaged each other or maybe if Marissa started with Olivia in a tormenting way I could have hated her more. I wanted to hate her more. So when Olivia gets a job at Cash’s bar she encounters a real bitch and thinks Cash is hot and maybe involved with her. A few times in Cash’s POV he thinks should I help her, nah she looks hot pissed off I will let her be trained by the devils lil sister.

The things I liked sort of equaled what I didn’t. I didn’t like the 3 POV. It got me a little confused at times. But, the reveal and Olivia’s best friend Ginger made up for it. I loved her wise ass remarks and humor.

The ending and the reveal well WOW I am thrilled there is going to be a sequel too. I look forward to it.

GUEST REVIEW: REFLECTED IN YOU BY SYLVIA DAY

Posted by Crystal @ RBtWBC at 10/09/2012 10:00:00 PM
Reflected in You (Crossfire, #2)
Reflected in You 
(Crossfire #2)
by Sylvia Day 
Paperback, 432 pages
Expected publication: October 23rd 2012 by Penguin Group (USA) (first published October 2nd 2012)
ISBN 0425263916

Gideon Cross. As beautiful and flawless on the outside as he was damaged and tormented on the inside. He was a bright, scorching flame that singed me with the darkest of pleasures. I couldn’t stay away. I didn’t want to. He was my addiction… my every desire… mine.
My past was as violent as his, and I was just as broken. We’d never work. It was too hard, too painful… except when it was perfect. Those moments when the driving hunger and desperate love were the most exquisite insanity. We were bound by our need. And our passion would take us beyond our limits to the sweetest, sharpest edge of obsession…

A Rare Gift (Kent Brothers #2) by Jaci Burton


A Rare Gift (Kent Brothers, #2)

With a disastrous marriage behind him, Wyatt Kent has no interest in getting involved with any woman, let alone his ex-wife’s younger sister. But when Calliope Andrews hires him to build an addition onto her day care center, Wyatt can’t help but notice she’s a desirable woman, as warm and funny as his ex was cold and aloof. That scared the hell out of me to be honest. I was like eeewww gross. Then by the time they talked and I realized they were never meant to be and Cassie was a total bitch, I was ok with it. Realizing that Calli had a crush on him for many years adorable.

It’s not long before Wyatt and Calli are lovers. I felt bad for him because he was lonely and so was she, but he was not willing. After realizing and speaking to Cassie he decided to tell Calli how he felt. I thought it was a tender and sweet romance. As always Jaci rocks!
