Review: More Than Forever

More Than Forever
More Than Forever by Jay McLean
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

ELEVENTY THREE FOREVER STARS!!!! :D

Sleep was hardly an option when I was given an ARC copy of this beautiful book. I will admit that it is very rare that I show my emotions when reading a book which is something I usually prefer to do in private. I literally LOL on some parts, tears on others, pissed off in some scenes, shocked at times, swooning over "Luca" moments...needless to say I was all over the place!

We gotten to know a little bit of Cameron and Lucy in the previous books and this book give you everything you wanted to know and more about the couple. This book is not just another love ❤️ story rather it is MORE THAN you can ever imagine a story about what FOREVER can be. :) ;)

Review: Carnival

Carnival
Carnival by K.B. Nelson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for my honest review and opinion. Thank you K.B.! :)

For a debut novel it did not disappoint. It was not what I expected which got me hooked and made it hard to put down. This introduced me to a new kind of read that dealt with drugs and a new way of looking at life.

The story starts off with a hitch filled with emotions, drama, surprise at every turn and about a quarter towards the end it lead us to an insane ending of the first book! I felt like I was on a roller coaster and/or ferris wheel ride through out the story making the title of the book a perfect name! I am looking forward to reading more from this author and seeing what happens next in the series.

Review: He Belongs With Me

He Belongs With Me
He Belongs With Me by Sarah Darlington
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review and opinion. Thank you Sarah! :)

This book was an entertaining read for me. Within the first few chapters I was introduced to many different characters where two of them are identical twins and the POVs were based on them. The setting, characters, and lifestyle of the story also reminded me of the television show “Gossip Girl.”

Getting to know the twins and their frame of mind is what got me enjoying the story. The expectations and assumptions they have for one another was intriguing to read and somewhat unexpected being twins usually like each other and have a six sense for one other. Plus to add fuel to the fire both girls were fighting over the same guy! Not bad for a debut book.

Review: Here All Along

Here All Along
Here All Along by Lilly Avalon
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Lilly! :)

This was a really short story for me to even call it a novella. In my opinion this book was more of an extended teaser of sorts. The characters' back story was brief and other than knowing that Hazel and Adrian have been friends for some time I did not get a feel on who the characters were as a person. This story entailed a beginning and an end to a setting that took place one evening after Hazel has another bad date. With that being said the scene presented was full of wonder and emotions and I was able to see what the characters were experiencing. The book was way too short for my liking but well written to get a feel of the situation.

Review: Better Than Okay

Better Than Okay
Better Than Okay by Jacinta Howard
My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I am typically not a fan of stories that are written in 3rd person POV but for this book I will make an exception. Destiny and Brian's story was well written and detailed that I was able to easily see, understand, and feel what the characters were going through when their relationship begins to grow into something more.

Just when I thought this story was about another new relationship starting to work itself out a curve ball was thrown in the mix. In turn, a whirlwind of questions comes to play and the constant back and forth of doubts keeps coming up along the way. This is a story of survival and whether the love for each other is worth it.

Overall it was a sweet read and I recommend all to check it out. ;)

Review: The Sea of Tranquility

The Sea of Tranquility
The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book looks at life and death in a unique way and the emotions felt while reading was on a whole other level. Everyone that Josh has loved he loses. Nastya was dead for a brief moment due to a traumatic event where she looses everything she had going in her life. Both parties find a way to deal with the life given to them and then they cross paths one day and find comfort in each other's presence.

The only comment I have to make is that I was expecting a little more revenge/payback for Nastya but overall it was a good book that I enjoyed.

Review: Thoughtless

Thoughtless
Thoughtless by S.C. Stephens
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Words that come to mind when it comes to this book are "OMG!?! HOT FREAKING DAMN!! WTF?!?" :) The back and forth, the tension, sneaking around, the glances...if you like roller coasters this emotional ride won't disappoint! And the main men in this book you cannot help but *SWOON*....the things that they do, how they respond, and put up with. Yup! This book for me had everything and more when it comes to love triangles. You can't help but fall for Kellan & Denny depending on what you look for an a man. As for Keira I can't help but constantly SMH. I highly recommend reading! This book is ranked high on my TOP FAVE list. :)

Review: More Than Him

More Than Him
More Than Him by Jay McLean
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Yup, Jay McClean does it again! "More than Her" (More #2) left us with a major cliffhanger and this is the the continuation of Logan and Amanda's story. The ups and downs, back and forths, twists, and turns in this story for these two was well written and had me feeling so many emotions not just this book but throughout the series. Definitely another MUST READ! ;)

More Than Her
More Than Her by Jay McLean
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Freaking AMAZING! :) I thought Jake and Mikayla story in "More Than This" (More #1) was something but DAMN Logan and Amanda's story was just as intense and emotional maybe even more because of their back history not with each other but within themselves too. Thinking about it just gives me the chills and warm and fuzzies all over. Needless to say this is a MUST READ and must be read 2nd in the More Than Series. ;)

Review: My Everything

My Everything
My Everything by Heidi McLaughlin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I surprisingly enjoyed Nick's story. He was such a prick in the first book that I did not know what to expect in this novella. I'm glad to learn his thoughts, understandings, and that he was able to move forward in his life. How his story ended was the perfect balance to everything that he had gone through.

Review: Tangled

Tangled
Tangled by Emma Chase
My rating: 1 of 5 stars


I love reading books from the male POV but this book was horrible! The way he told his story made him sound like a teenager who thinks and/or knew the answer to everything! Early in the story I already wanted to stop reading but gave it the benefit of doubt that it would get better...but I was wrong. :(

Review: My Unexpected Forever

My Unexpected Forever
My Unexpected Forever by Heidi McLaughlin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Such a beautiful love <3 story! The heartaches, the emotional frustrations, the heartwarming bonds with the children, the tension, self-control, patience...the list goes on and on when it comes to reading Harrison & Katelyn's story. The tragedy that Katelyn goes through had me teary eyed. The flashbacks was a perfect touch to get inside her head and understand why she acted and responded the way she did. Harrison had melted my heart throughout the story and he was not what I had expected. He is definitely a book BF on my list. :)

Review: Wait for You

Wait for You
Wait for You by J. Lynn
My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Although Cam was an ideal character in the book it was an OK story in my eyes. Maybe it was Avery's secret that got me SMH and thinking why she did what she did that made it not the "OMG what the freak just happened WOW" factor for me. It seems like a typical reaction for someone who was facing something traumatic and Avery needed an escape in order to move on but I think if there were more surprising/shocking twist(s) I probably would have like the story more.

Review: The Fault in Our Stars

The Fault in Our Stars
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This was such a cute read! Love can be found in the least likely of places and no matter how you found that special someone...moments shared will be with you forever. This story made you think about how life is precious and regardless of time falling in love can happen to anyone. It is something worth experiencing and cherishing. :)

Review: The Redemption of Callie & Kayden

The Redemption of Callie & Kayden
The Redemption of Callie & Kayden by Jessica Sorensen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The story continues of Callie and Kayden where book one left us with a major cliffy. Overcoming their past and moving forward together is a struggle for these two and along with their best friends, Seth and Luke by their side...anything is possible.

When I first read this book I was at a lost how the ended was rushed and felt incomplete and had left me wondering "WTF?!? That's it?!? I need more!" Luckily, shortly after reading I found out there will be another book to their story: "The Resolution of Callie & Kayden!" Thank goodness!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Whoa!?! What?!?! The story of Callie and Kayden had sooo many OMFG scenes that it kept my mind reeling of what was happening throughout the book. The traumatic experience and struggles that the both of them went through was heartbreaking and devastating to say the least. The way they were with each other was encouraging and that anything was possible...and then there was the cliffhanger. :/ SMH.
