The Price of A Kiss - Forbidden Men 1 - Linda Kage

Price of a Kiss by Linda Kage

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Here's how I felt reading this book:

 


There was real potential, I thought how cool, a male gigolo and a damaged college student!  I must read this!!!  But the college student talked as if she was 12-13 max.  Her personality was obnoxious at best. Some of the lines from the book were ridiculous. 

Here's the good, I enjoyed the first 80% of the book, after that point I started skimming the pages until I was finished.  Mason's little sister Sarah was the saving grace for me, I really enjoyed reading about Reece's interaction with her.  Some parts of Mason and Reece's relationship were cute.  Some were ridiculous.  Mason's mom was awful, Mrs. Garrison was a good villain.  I don't know I'm so mixed on this.

I keep going back and forth, and I give this book 2.5 stars, if you have something you are more eager to read, read that first.  All in all this is a forgettable book.  And if I never hear the word gigolo again I'll be okay as it was said 5000+ times in this novel.  I realize I am in the minority here with this review and I wish the story delivered as much as I had hoped it would.

Breathe - Abbi Glines - Sea Breeze #1

Everyone knows I'm a huge Abbi Glines fan and I decided to try out the Sea Breeze series...

Breathe by Abbi Glines

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Jax Stone for book boyfriend anyone!!??

So the first thing I noticed about this book that I devoured, was how real Sadie White appeared. She was down to earth, caring, compassionate, and everything you want in a heroine. She's a good girl and mature beyond her years.  I felt empathy towards her situation. Sadie is in high school with a pregnant mother who wouldn't work, so Sadie works in her mothers place. Anyways I love Jax Stone and I loved the relationship between these two.

If you want something that is an easy, quick, carefree, HEA read, then check this out! I was hooked from the start and couldn't put it down... Just a feel good book.

Bound by Brenda Rothert

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I've been looking for a 5 star book for awhile now and all I can say is that this book will completely captivate you from the first page.  By the end of the first chapter I was emotionally invested in both of the main characters.  I started reading this around midnight, just to read a chapter or two before bed, and stayed up most of the night to finish....

So this book will take you on an emotional roller coaster.  Both Kate and Ryke meet while facing their own personal tragedies during a grief support group.  I absolutely loved that this wasn't a "love at first sight" book and the two characters became close friends and took their relationship slow, both facing their personal demons before pursuing a romantic relationship.

Both characters are damaged and they grow so much from the beginning to end... Just an incredible page turner... I'm yawning and need to catch a few hours of shut eye so I 100% recommend this book, I love Jason Ryker, and just WOW!

Erased - Jennifer Rush

Erased by Jennifer Rush

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


So I love the Altered series...  This book was incredibly fast paced and there was nonstop action!  What did I love about this book?  Anna and the boys are on the run and you get to see glimpses of them without the farmhouse setting, there are flashbacks, stolen cars, and fights in almost every chapter.  We get to meet and get to know Dani, Anna's sister and of course we learn about Anna's past and how she came to be a part of the Altered program. 

I love the boys and the action was intense.  There's always danger lurking at every corner!  I will say, that I love Nick way more than I even like Sam.  To me, Sam is not right for Anna and we never really get to see his personality or lack thereof.  And after reading this book I guarantee you'll be on team Nick because he is just INCREDIBLE! 

It's a great story, I've heard there is another one coming out but honestly she tied up all the loose ends really well in Erased and I don't see much of a need for a third book however I will read it as Jennifer Rush knows how to write in a way that just captures your attention from the start.  Awesome read!!!

Altered - Jennifer Rush

This is a PAGE TURNER!!!

Altered by Jennifer Rush

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is a quick read about conspiracies! I bought Altered because the synopsis sounded amazing, four hot guys who had been Altered by a secret branch and living in a lab in the middle of nowhere under a farmhouse! Sounds pretty good right!? Then you meet Anna the daughter of the man who works in the lab and lives in the farmhouse. She helps in the lab and works in the lab! As the synopsis says, the boys escape the lab and take Anna with them at the insistence of her father! Anna has no idea why he would make her go.... And this is where the excitement begins!

This book is a real page turner, I read it in a couple of days, it's not very long... There's twists and turns and truths unhidden at each turn! This is a great suspense/thriller type of book for the YA (or me, older than the YA) genre... There's lots of man candy, action, plot twists, and a very small amount of innocent romance. To summarize this book has a bit of everything and is an excellent read! I can't wait to start Erased today!

Beautiful Disaster - Jamie McGuire

Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Okay, have you ever wanted to slam your head into a wall for making a bad decision?  Throughout this entire book I fought with wanting to throw it across the room or finish reading... I chose to read it, the characters were over the top, I agree with comments that state the book is offensive to women.  I am not sure what all the hype is about... The reading is fast paced and easy to follow. 

I thought both characters needed more descriptions, the epilogue is where I read that Travis was bald... WHAT??  Ok, obviously Jamie McGuire wanted to make Travis over the top, but sleeping around with random girls (bagging them on his couch), getting in unrealistic fights and winning (beating up mob bouncers), having a terrible stalker attitude (refers to self as stalker), breaking things, terrorizing people, do not make a man crush for me...Yuck!  I wanted to scream at Abby for being so into Travis.

Abby did not have many great qualities either, all we know is that she's attractive, has some sort of secret history, and she doesn't have much of a personality.  I felt that Jamie McGuire was still trying to build Abby's personality throughout the entire book and I felt no depth or connection to her.  She just annoyed me, she was naive and smart, a walking contradiction.

Just all around weird book... I didn't like it, but I couldn't put it down.

Ephemeral - Addison Moore

Ephemeral by Addison Moore

My rating: 1 of 5 stars


Stopped at 39%.  I did not like Laken, the plot and storyline was overly complicated and confusing.  The girls were obnoxious, I couldn't relate to any of the characters.  This book glorified cheating boys and the need to win back their love.  Just wow... I don't even know.  I tried so hard to finish this book.
