<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Critically acclaimed author Mia Sosa delivers a sassy, steamy enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy about a woman whose new job requires her to work side-by-side with the best man who ruined her wedding: her ex-fiancé's infuriating, irritating, annoyingly handsome brother. Perfect for fans of Jasmine Guillory, Helen Hoang, and Sally Thorne!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">A wedding planner left at the altar. Yeah, the irony isn’t lost on Carolina Santos, either. But despite that embarrassing blip from her past, Lina’s managed to make other people’s dreams come true as a top-tier wedding coordinator in DC. After impressing an influential guest, she’s offered an opportunity that could change her life. There’s just one hitch… she has to collaborate with the best (make that worst) man from her own failed nuptials.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Tired of living in his older brother’s shadow, marketing expert Max Hartley is determined to make his mark with a coveted hotel client looking to expand its brand. Then he learns he’ll be working with his brother’s whip-smart, stunning—absolutely off-limits—ex-fiancée. And she loathes him.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">If they can survive the next few weeks and nail their presentation without killing each other, they’ll both come out ahead. Except Max has been public enemy number one ever since he encouraged his brother to jilt the bride, and Lina’s ready to dish out a little payback of her own.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">But even the best laid plans can go awry, and soon Lina and Max discover animosity may not be the only emotion creating sparks between them. Still, this star-crossed couple can never be more than temporary playmates because Lina isn’t interested in falling in love and Max refuses to play runner-up to his brother ever again...</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mia Sosa is an author I can always count on to deliver great romances with a hint of Brazilian culture. This was another winner.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This was the story of Lina, a first generation Brazilian American wedding planner who was left at the altar years ago, and Max, the super sweet brother and best man of the jerk who abandoned Lina. Forced to work together, they slowly realize that Lina almost married the wrong brother.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The romance doesn't fit into the super slow burn category I gravitate toward, but it developed in a nice pace. There was plenty of chemistry between Lina and Max and enough angst due to their history to keep me interested every step of the way. I loved how their relationship went from almost hatred to friendship to love. The conflict near the end was also believable and the solution was satisfying.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Lina's family was a positive addition to the story. For me, as a Brazilian, her relationship with her cousins, aunts and mother felt genuine. Besides, every opportunity they mentioned BR food just made me extra happy. If you haven't tried brigadeiro or pão de queijo yet, you don't know what you're missing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I highly recommend this if you're looking for a sweet and sexy read with great chemistry. </span>Rêhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13437297362419789079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9265774.post-78677155475445802772019-05-15T12:17:00.001-03:002019-05-15T12:17:38.860-03:00*Grabby Hands* Release & Review - The Bride Test (The Kissing Quotient #2) by Helen Hoang<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Khai Diep has no feelings. Well, he feels irritation when people move his things or contentment when ledgers balance down to the penny, but not big, important emotions—like grief. And love. He thinks he’s defective. His family knows better—that his autism means he just processes emotions differently. When he steadfastly avoids relationships, his mother takes matters into her own hands and returns to Vietnam to find him the perfect bride.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">As a mixed-race girl living in the slums of Ho Chi Minh City, Esme Tran has always felt out of place. When the opportunity arises to come to America and meet a potential husband, she can’t turn it down, thinking this could be the break her family needs. Seducing Khai, however, doesn’t go as planned. Esme’s lessons in love seem to be working…but only on herself. She’s hopelessly smitten with a man who’s convinced he can never return her affection.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">With Esme’s time in the United States dwindling, Khai is forced to understand he’s been wrong all along. And there’s more than one way to love.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
I think I liked this a little less than The Kissing Quotient, but I’m not sure why. It was still adorable, diverse, sexy and beautifully written—pretty much everything I need in a romance. It was also super easy to get into, meaning I finished it fast. Khai and Esme were both great leading characters. There was plenty of chemistry between them, and I honestly thought they were perfect for each other. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #181818;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Esme’s attempts to seduce Khai, his confusion about his feelings for her, their awkward and adorable first time together, the conversation between Khai, his brother and cousin following that first time, and tons of other scenes made this a memorable read. There were moments I laughed out loud, smiled like a fool and swooned.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #181818;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Still…there was just something that kept me a little (just a little bit) disconnected and I can’t put my finger on it. Maybe, just maybe it was Esme’s relationship with her daughter and how, though it’s implied that she’s trying to marry Khai to provide a better life to her little girl, I never really felt like that was what was driving her. The daughter was barely present at all in the book, which I also understand because this was about the romance and not her family. Yet, I get the feeling that either the story didn’t need the daughter or it could’ve handled that relationship better. Considering the author’s note at the end, I think the second option would’ve been the best choice.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Despite that, which is really not a big problem considering all the other great elements, I truly believe romance fans will not regret picking up this book. The Bride Test is another example of how a great author can write sexy and fun stories with respectful representation.</div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: start;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Her Career Aptitude Test results say she's ideally suited for a career in the clergy (aka a nun), and on top of that, she receives yet another rejection. An aspiring dancer/choreographer, Sadie dreams of being featured on <i>Dancer's Edge</i>—but they say she's too sweet, needs more life experience. Her BFF, Kyle, and her oldest friend, 79-year-old Betty, agree: Sadie is in desperate need of a life makeover.</span></span></div>

Sadie doesn't lie, cheat or steal--heck she doesn't even curse (part of the reason she hasn't checked off anything on her "Carpe Diem List"). Sadie doesn't know the first thing about being bad. But Kyle's twin brother, Colton, does. And he's willing to teach Sadie on one condition: she has to do everything he says for the next month.</div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Cookie O’Gorman’s fourth YA romance was the absolute

friends falling in love in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Adorkable</i>,
now we get enemies to haters with identical twins involved and those elements

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The Good Girl's Guide to Being Bad </span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">is
full of famous YA romance tropes: bucket lists that are actually called Carpe
Diem lists (or Naught List); nemesis falling in love; hot identical twins; good
girls wanting to be a little bad and enlisting a bad boy’s help. But that’s not
a problem at all, because in the hands of talented writers, a story full of
tropes can still be unputdownable. This one was.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I’m so in love with both
Sadie and Colton. Their chemistry was exactly what I look for in romance books;
their banter made me laugh and smile so hard; and the way they slowly fell in
love filled my slow-burned heart. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Sadie was a likable
goody two-shoes, because despite being almost too nice (so much so that she
gets a little annoyed with it and decides to add a little more edge and excitement
to her life), she was funny, loyal and lovable. It was such a delight to read
about a teenage girl who wasn’t embarrassed to have a healthy relationship with
her mother, based on honesty, freedom and trust. There’s this scene where she
calls her mother to tell her about something “bad” she did, and it made me
laugh so hard, but also made me fall in love with her all the way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I was also 100% into how
her best friends where two ladies who were old enough to be her grandmother.
Their encounters were always funny, full of love and wisdom that you only get
when talking with people who have lived full lives.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">For his turn, Colton was
the bad boy with a heart of gold. The way he stood up for his twin brother was
proof enough that he was one of the nice ways, despite the bad boy image he
tried to keep. He had the makings of a great love interest from the start and
he didn’t disappoint me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I feel like I'm already talking too much and I don't want to spoil anything because there's nothing like reading a great book for the first time, right? But be warned that the slow burn and the intensity of Colton and Sadie's attraction might set things on fire (like your reading device), so proceed with caution.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Joking aside, I highly recommend </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"><i>The Good Girl's Guide to Being Bad </i>(and the author's other books) to everyone who loves YA romance. If you're already a fan of Cookie O'Gorman, then keep an eye out for your favorites because there's a scene in this book that will make you want to go back and reread her previous stories immediately.</span><br />

But when her beloved father is found dead, she’s thrust into power, suddenly the queen of a surprisingly unstable kingdom. What’s more, Hesina believes that her father was murdered—and that the killer is someone close to her.<br /><br />Hesina’s court is packed full of dissemblers and deceivers eager to use the king’s death for political gain, each as plausibly guilty as the next. Her advisers would like her to blame the neighboring kingdom of Kendi’a, whose ruler has been mustering for war. Determined to find her father’s actual killer, Hesina does something desperate: she enlists the aid of a soothsayer—a treasonous act, punishable by<br />death, since magic was outlawed centuries ago.<br /><br />Using the information provided by the sooth, and uncertain if she can trust her family, Hesina turns to Akira—a brilliant investigator who’s also a convicted criminal with secrets of his own. With the future of Yan at stake, can Hesina find justice for her father? Or will the cost be too high?</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;"> </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For avid YA
Fantasy readers, it’s rare to come across a book that feels different from
everything else out there. Publishers more often than not prefer to invest
their money in formulas that have done well in the past—sometimes I hate it,
sometimes I understand, because I’ve been guilty multiple times of searching
for similar books after I’m done reading something that I liked a lot. Who hasn’t
done that?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But isn’t it
exciting when you also get to read something amazing that feels unique? Fresh?
This is the feeling I got when I finished <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Descendant
of the Crane</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If this intro
isn’t enough to convince you to buy this book, then the cover should do it.
Have you seen that beauty???<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Though this book
has a main character that is also a royal, she isn’t your average white
princess who also happens to be a special snowflake. Sure there’s something
unique about her, but it isn’t the focus of the story in any way or not even
the driving force behind her actions. It’s something I’m betting will be
explored more in the sequel (and no, this didn't exactly feel like a standalone to me) but it doesn’t
make a huge difference in this debut. Hesina, the protagonist, doesn’t rely on
magical solutions to fix the problems that arise, most of which she created
herself. She makes tough calls—and sometimes doesn’t even make them, which yeah
infuriated me a little, but made her more flawed and human.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hesina isn’t
perfect, and neither is the book, which is why I’m not rating it five stars,
but watching Hesina (and the book) grow was a fulfilling experience. I’ll be
honest here and say I almost stopped reading at some point in the middle,
because one of the twists was pretty obvious to me and it irked me that Hesina
couldn’t see it. Having said that, I’m extremely happy I kept going because
while I was right about the twist, I was SO WRONG about the motivation. It
feels like Joan He wrote that final chapter just to tell me: you thought you
knew what was going on, huh? Well, I surprised you, didn’t I?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">She also surprised
me with a few other twists, with a protagonist that made me feel, with a story
filled of intrigue and politics, and a debut that deserves a lot more buzz that
it’s getting. The narrative is quite smart, the world is inspired by Chinese
culture, the writing is good, most of the characters are twisted in a good way
(though some of them could use a little more work), there’s a hint of romance
and the love interest is someone who interested me from the very beginning.
Yes, the pacing is a little slow, but the fact that there’s a murder mystery
helps keep readers engage. By the way, I LOVED seeing courtroom scenes in a YA
Fantasy. More, please.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

above, I’m rooting for <i>Descendant of the

it to YA Fantasy readers looking for a fresh read from a new and promising writer.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Annie Mathers is America’s sweetheart and heir to a country music legacy full of all the things her Gran warned her about. Superstar Clay Coolidge is most definitely going to end up one of those things. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">But unfortunately for Clay, if he can’t convince Annie to join his summer tour, his music label is going to drop him. That’s what happens when your bad boy image turns into bad boy reality. Annie has been avoiding the spotlight after her parents’ tragic death, except on her skyrocketing YouTube channel. Clay’s label wants to land Annie, and Clay has to make it happen. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Swayed by Clay’s undeniable charm and good looks, Annie and her band agree to join the tour. From the start fans want them to be more than just tour mates, and Annie and Clay can’t help but wonder if the fans are right. But if there’s one part of fame Annie wants nothing to do with, it’s a high-profile relationship. She had a front row seat to her parents’ volatile marriage and isn’t interested in repeating history. If only she could convince her heart that Clay, with his painful past and head over heels inducing tenor, isn’t worth the risk.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">You’d be Mine isn’t only a story for country music lovers, but for people that enjoy their YA romances with a little bit of drama and a lot of music.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">Told from the POV of two teen country stars (even though Annie is just starting, it’s clear she’s always been one) and how they deal with life on tour while grieving their loved ones. Annie and Clay connect through their love for music (the author couldn’t be more right to say they speak the same language—music) and their pain for the people they’ve lost.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">While Annie deals with the loss of her parents in a much healthier way, teen country superstar Clay drowns his pain in alcohol, women and even drugs. And though he’s clearly in a messed up phase of his life, I still ended up liking Clay’s chapters more than Annie’s. It was also true what Annie said about him—Clay just had that something extra, that magical quality that attracted my attention.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">Not to say that Annie wasn’t a good character. She was a bit too good and a little bland at times, but she ended up growing on me toward the end. It also helped that I loved her relationship with her cousin, her male best friends and her grandparents. I appreciated the fact that was no drama between Annie and her cousin and no girl shaming in this novel!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">The romance was cute, but I wished it had been bigger somehow. Clay and Annie’s individual paths and pain ended up taking more space then the romance, and while that’s not necessarily a problem, I felt like the book had been marketed in a way that made me believe the romance would be the main plotline and it didn’t exactly feel that way while reading.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">Overall, I was happy with how the major and important themes were handled and with how I got a glimpse as the country music world. And while it took me a while to get into this book, once things got flowing, You’d Be Mine turned out to be a really fun read.</span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #222222; line-height: 122%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A strong gust of hot
air invades the car and Reagan’s hair gets ruffled. It’s been like this the
last few weeks. Crazy hot winds picking up now and then. Mine is literally
standing on end. I’m forced to hold it down with both hands.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="normal" style="background: white; line-height: 122%; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #222222; line-height: 122%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“The Santa Anas,” he
says as if reading my mind. I look over and find him smiling at me. “The hot
wind.” He swirls his index finger.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="normal" style="background: white; line-height: 122%; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #222222; line-height: 122%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I let go of my hair,
close my eyes, and let it have its way with me. It stands instantly upright,
like I stuck my finger in a socket. I’m sure I look like an idiot but it makes
me laugh, a burst of pure joy emanating from my chest that can’t be contained
any more than the wind can.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="normal" style="background: white; line-height: 122%; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #222222; line-height: 122%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Nice hair,” he mocks
with a teasing smile.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

like me saying this, but you’re more dolphin than shark,” I happily point out.
He’s always perky and upbeat, likes to socialize, loves all the attention. He’s
a dolphin––whether he likes it or not.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #222222; line-height: 122%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He levels narrowed
green vengeance on me, offset by a sly smile. “I’m the top of the food chain,

<span lang="EN" style="color: #222222; line-height: 122%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He fights his
amusement. “Those cinnamon buns are meant to protect my ears from all the

<span lang="EN" style="color: #222222; line-height: 122%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Jeep comes to an
abrupt stop. Only then do I realize we’re parked in front of the apartment
building where my study group is being held. Scanning the parking lot, I see
people I recognize from class pouring out of a car.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="normal" style="background: white; line-height: 122%; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #222222; line-height: 122%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My attention returns
to Reagan and I find him watching me. His smile melts. His expression grows
serious like he rarely ever is. I rake my hair down and get my fingers snagged
on a few knots. Unfortunately I’m not the comb-carrying type.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

shut.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #222222; line-height: 122%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“What time should I

Bailey. You have a piece sticking up.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #222222; line-height: 122%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Oh…okay.” He’s trying
to be helpful and I treat him like he’s a festering case of the bubonic plague.
How embarrassing.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #222222; line-height: 122%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I lean in and he sets
about gently brushing down each and every one of my stray hairs, so gently I
can barely feel him picking apart the knots. I can feel his breath on my skin.
Fresh from a shower, I can smell his shampoo. My scalp tingles and goose bumps
break out on my forearms. Lord give me strength.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I first heard of P. Dangelico when Wrecking Ball came out a couple of years ago, and I was instantly hooked and ready for more of her slow-burn romances. Five books later, I can say I’ll probably read anything she writes and love it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">As a reader who misses New Adult romances, Dangelico’s new Malibu University Series is the perfect fit for me. The first book, Nothing But Trouble, had everything I look for in a good NA romance: likable characters, amazing chemistry, drama, friendship, and slow burn romance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Alice was a captivating heroine—no surprise there—and I immediately felt a connection to her. And like Alice said, Reagan was a hero with a heart of gold (even though he misbehaved and deserved a good shaking toward the end of the story). Their relationship had a shaky start, but the friendship that soon followed was pretty amazing. I love her Dangelico takes her characters from strangers to frenemies to friends to lovers. This is combination is one of all times favorite tropes, and it worked so well in this story. The slow burn, the longing, the will-they-won’t-they does it for me every single time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Other positives were the friendship between Alice and her roommates (#girlpower), the little hints of drama in the lives of Reagan’s teammates (can’t wait to read their stories), the unexplored sport portrayed in this story (don’t regret the time spent Googling water sport players) and the heart-breaking relationship between Reagan and his brother.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I wasn’t a fan of how Reagan reacted and what he did, though I can see why he thought he was doing the right thing at the time, but I still wish Alice had made him grovel. Girl, you need to let him feel shitty a little, then you can take him back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 17.12px;">P. Dangelico loves romance in all forms, cuddly creatures (four legged and two), really bloody sexy pulp, the NY Jets (although she’s reconsidering after this season), and to while away the day at the barn (apparently she does her best thinking shoveling horse crap). What she’s not enamored with is referring to herself in the third person and social media so don’t expect her to get on Twitter anytime soon. Oh, and although she was born in Italy, she’s been Jersey Strong since she turned six.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-weight: 400;">You know what isn't 'temporary?' The endless stream of dirty socks in my bathroom and empty food packets under the sofa—and don't even get me started on the hot guys who take over my living room every Sunday to watch sports.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-weight: 400;">So I propose a roommate agreement. One that will bring peace and order back to my life, complete with rules that might just stop my newfound crush on my best friend in its tracks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-weight: 400;">After all, there’s only so many times you can see your best friend naked before you start to lose your mind.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shelby shut the door with a click and peered over at me. “What are you writing? If it’s permission to use the feather duster as a sex toy, the answer is no. Unless you buy your own, but if you haven’t figured out where the laundry room is yet, I doubt you’ll find where to buy one.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">She was as funny as a car crash, this one.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Hilarious,” I drawled. “No, I’m making amendments as I go. I added a new rule.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“You added a new rule?” She raised one dark eyebrow and walked over, hovering over me. “All right, what is it?”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Decent clothes must be worn. Do you know how many times I wake up early on a morning to open the gym and find you basically in your underwear in the kitchen?”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Basically in my underwear? Who are you seeing in the kitchen? I wear shorts and a tank top at the very least.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Yes, but the shorts barely cover your ass, and you’re sure as hell not wearing a bra.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">She paused, eyes glittering as she said, “And why are you looking at my ass and my boobs?”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">That was an excellent question.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Because there’s nowhere else to look!” I rushed out before my stupid cock could get any ideas. “Look, waking up in the morning can be challenging for a guy.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">She stared at me.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“I don’t need to get up for a coffee with… you know.” I motioned to my groin. “And see you half-clothed.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">She flicked her hair over her shoulder and walked to the kitchen, turning her back to me. “Why does it matter? I’m your best friend. I hardly think your little friend is remotely interested in whether or not I’m wearing a bra.”</span>
<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yeah, well, he is.</span></i>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Fine. If I have to wake up and see your perky nipples prancing around the kitchen, I’m going to stroll around in my underwear so you can get a good view of my morning glory.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">She spun, lifting up a finger. Her cheeks were flushed, and she had to swallow before she could speak. “My nipples do not prance. They are not horses.” </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I grinned.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Also, I have no desire to have anything to do with your morning erection, much less get a good view of it, thank you very much.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Have I told you that you’re cute when you blush?”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Have I told you that you’d be a cute dead guy?”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I laughed, leaning back on the sofa. “C’mon, Shelbs. We need to respect each other’s privacy. You don’t want to see my cock hard over your breakfast, and I don’t want to see your nipples standing to attention when I make a coffee.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">She sighed. “Why did I ever let you move in again?”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Because I was going to be homeless and you’re the best friend ever?”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Mm.”</span></span><br />

The characters are a little too dorky at times, but it worked, because it's clear this was supposed to be a fluffly love story with low drama.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">I loved the banter and the slow burn, and even though I usually like angst in my romances, this was a perfect read for a lazy morning.

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: Avenir;">P. Dangelico loves romance in all forms, cuddly
creatures (four legged and two), really bloody sexy pulp, the NY Jets (although
she’s reconsidering after this season), and to while away the day at the barn
(apparently she does her best thinking shoveling horse crap). What she’s not
enamored with is referring to herself in the third person and social media so
don’t expect her to get on Twitter anytime soon. Oh, and although she was born
in Italy, she’s been Jersey Strong since she turned six.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

When she arrives, she's greeted by a band of misfits who call themselves The Last Teenagers on Earth.<br /><br />Only they aren't the ragtag group of heroes Clover was expecting. The group seems more interested in hiding than fighting back, and Clover starts to wonder if she was better off alone. But then she finds a hidden spaceship, and she doesn't know what to believe…or who to trust.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;"> </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I’m going to be the first to admit I’m not a huge
sci-fi fan. I know nothing about Star Wars, Star Trek or other TV shows/movies
referenced in the book aside from Will Smith’s Independence Day. That one I’ve
watched a hundred times—it’s a great movie.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Having said that, I love stories about the end of the
world and alien invasions, especially when the characters are so diverse, so I
was really excited about this one. Besides, it’s written by a Brazilian author,
so, again, YEEESS!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It took me some time to get into <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Last 8</i> because I kept expecting more details that would make me
feel truly immersed in the world and what was happening. Like the blurb says,
aliens invade, everyone is dying and shit is happening, but I didn’t really
feel much while I was reading. This is partially because Clover, the main
character, is a more practical and less emotional person, but it’s also because
the writing didn’t dive deep enough into the setting and the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Things really got interesting for me when Clover met
the group of teens called The Last Teenagers on Earth and they decided to do
something about the aliens. The action scenes were great, especially the ones
with Clover doing amazing things while piloting a plane. There were also some
really good moments as Clover spent time alone with some of the other teens and
opened up to them, or let them open up and listened.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I also enjoyed the big twist that came into play a
little after the halfway mark. I could see some of it coming, but not all of
it, so I ended up being surprised! Yay!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Now, I have to say that while I LOVE and LIVE for a
diverse group of characters (and the diversity here was AMAZING!!!!!!!), they weren’t distinctive enough as individuals. The
story was told from Clover’s perspective, so we didn’t get a chance to really
get to know the other teens (the last survivors), and while the author tried to
give them different jobs/activities, in the end they pretty much sounded the
same to me. I kept trying and failing to remember who they were and what they
did. The one I liked the most ended up not having the best ending, so…*sad
face*<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Now, none of the things above would’ve kept me from
rating this 4 stars or more, but the thing that bothered me the most was how
suicide was portrayed in the end. <span style="color: #f9cb9c;">*</span><span style="color: #fce5cd;">**SPOILER ALERT*** I hated how Violet’s
suicide was used as a plot device to get Andy to do what needed to be done. It
felt manipulative and as if it was the act of a hero, which is a message that
bothers me a lot. I thought Clover’s struggle with wanting to end her life
throughout the book was handled with care and made sense given all that had
happened. And for her to have come so far, decided to fight for her life and
for the friends she made, and then simply encourage Violet to use suicide to
force Andy to do what needed to be done…that felt wrong and out of character. I
wish the author had picked a better way to handle that situation—Violet could’ve
easily been hurt/killed by one of the aliens and Andy would’ve reacted the
same. What Andy needed in order to access her power was to lose Violet, and
given the fact that they were surrounded by aliens that wanted all of them
dead, she didn’t really need to kill herself. ***END SPOILER**</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">With that said, there were some great moments in this
book, especially with the action scenes, that reminded me of Independence Day.
After all, who doesn’t like to see a group of diverse teenagers and an adorable dog (OMG, MY HEART!) fighting to
save the planet from creepy aliens?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: start;"><i style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Crush: a strong and often short-lived infatuation, particularly for someone beyond your reach…</i><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Darcy Barrett has undertaken a global survey of men. She’s travelled the world, and can categorically say that no one measures up to Tom Valeska, whose only flaw is that Darcy’s twin brother Jamie saw him first and claimed him forever as his best friend. Despite Darcy’s best efforts, Tom’s off limits and loyal to her brother, 99%. That’s the problem with finding her dream man at age eight and peaking in her photography career at age twenty—ever since, she’s had to learn to settle for good enough.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">When Darcy and Jamie inherit a tumble-down cottage from their grandmother, they’re left with strict instructions to bring it back to its former glory and sell the property. Darcy plans to be in an aisle seat halfway across the ocean as soon as the renovations start, but before she can cut and run, she finds a familiar face on her porch: house-flipper extraordinaire Tom’s arrived, he’s bearing power tools, and he’s single for the first time in almost a decade.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Suddenly Darcy’s considering sticking around to make sure her twin doesn’t ruin the cottage’s inherent magic with his penchant for grey and chrome. She’s definitely not staying because of her new business partner’s tight t-shirts, or that perfect face that's inspiring her to pick up her camera again. Soon sparks are flying—and it’s not the faulty wiring. It turns out one percent of Tom’s heart might not be enough for Darcy anymore. This time around, she’s switching things up. She’s going to make Tom Valeska 99 percent hers.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">After reading Sally Thorne’s
“behind the book” section, I feel a little mad at myself for being mad at her
for taking so long to write something new. After all, I’ve been waiting since
2016 for another book.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I know a lot of people
have been disappointed by <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">99 Percent Mine</i>,
but I’m not one of them. I loved this book from the first chapter to the very
end, which includes two epilogues (one for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">99
</i>and another for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Hating Game).<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Don’t get me wrong,
everyone’s entitled to their opinions, but I don’t get the big shock about
Darcy not being the conventional heroine when Lucy from THG was just as quirky.
That’s how Sally Thorne writes. Her main characters sound a little confusing at
times, but they’re so interesting that I happily ignore that. Besides, they
always make me laugh.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Sure Darcy was careless
about her health and a little spoiled, but she was also a loyal friend, a supportive
person and someone who had been mistreated for a big part of her life, so I wasn’t
surprised she had issues. Everyone does. Even Tom, who was supposed to be
perfect, had baggage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">But what really kept me
up until 4 am was the amazing chemistry between Darcy and Tom. And the angst.
Damn, I love angst. And the BFFs to lovers trope. I love that so much. And the slow burn--everyone knows how I feel about this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

much.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

them were and how incredibly hot and desperate they were for each other.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I could feel Darcy’s
love for Tom from the very start, as well as his love for her. And while I’ve
seen some people complain about the “other woman” aspect, let me tell you that
there isn’t one. Not really at least. It’s pretty clear from the start what the
situation between Tom is really like, and Darcy is respectful until she doesn’t
need to be anymore. There was no instance when I felt they were considering
cheating as an option, and I truly appreciated that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I only wish Darcy’s
relationship with her twin brother Jamie had ended differently—with him at
least acknowledging how crappy and unfair he was to her and doing something to
change that. I know he has issues, too, but it was awful to watch him talk to
her the way he did.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">But overall, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">99 Percent Mine </i>was definitely worth the
wait for me. I don’t know if Sally Thorne is planning on writing another book,
but I will be here, anxiously awaiting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

To do so, she has bound the wicked king, Cardan, to her, and made herself the power behind the throne. Navigating the constantly shifting political alliances of Faerie would be difficult enough if Cardan were easy to control. But he does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her even as his fascination with her remains undiminished.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">When it becomes all too clear that someone close to Jude means to betray her, threatening her own life and the lives of everyone she loves, Jude must uncover the traitor and fight her own complicated feelings for Cardan to maintain control as a mortal in a Faerie world.</span></span></div>

<b><span style="color: orange;"><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">4.5 “Scheming and Twists in the faerie world</span>” Stars<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #181818; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">These
first days of 2019 haven’t exactly been the best reading-wise. I’m not saying
that because of Wicked King (hello, I’m rating it 4.5 stars), but because Holly
Black’s sequel is the first book I’ve managed to finish since the year started.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #181818; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">On
one hand, that sucks, because I’ve DNF’d a lot of books already. On the other
hand, at least my first read of the year was a great one! For starters, Wicked
King is better than Cruel Prince, which was already a good book.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #181818; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Again,
though, the romance (full of sexual tension and hate-me-love-me-can’t-have-me
angst) was still a little too on the background for me. I still love Jude and
how badass she is; Cardan and how you can never really tell what he’s hiding
behind his don’t-give-a-crap attitude; and all the other characters that scheme
and twist reality even though they can’t lie. But I wanted more Cardan and
Jude. A lot more than the amazing scenes we had between them. That’s my only
complaint, to be honest.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #181818; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The
plot was once again full of twists and turns, though Jude seemed to be more on
the receiving end of those twists and turns than in Cruel Prince. Still, I love
being surprised, and the last part of the book did that to me time and time
again. I will say that Jude and Cardan’s choice near the end was a obvious one;
one she should’ve come up with before he did and a lot sooner in the book (or
so I kept trying to tell her), but I was still surprised by what Cardan did in
the last chapter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #181818; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Taryn
still annoyed me too much—I don’t know why Jude insists on protecting the
sister who clearly doesn’t care for her at all. Locke was still useless. Madoc
and Jude still reminded me of Olivia and Papa Pope’s troubled complex
relationship. So none of those things changed much since the first book.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #181818; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In a
way, Wicked King kept the same elements I noticed in Cruel Prince (both the
ones I liked and disliked), but it still read somewhat better than the first
title in the series. Maybe it’s because I’m still thinking about that “Tell me
you hate me” scene.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">The first time you meet someone, you make eye contact. You smile, say hello. Should be simple, if you’re anyone but me. The first time I met Dylan Reed, I found myself making eye contact with a different part of his body. You see, I’m very good at being shy, not to mention extremely well-versed in rambling nonsense and, unfortunately, rather highly skilled at making a fool of myself in front of a guy I’m attracted to.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">At the time, I knew nothing about him and thought none of what I said would matter since I’d never speak to him again. Turns out, I was very wrong. He was the star wide receiver of the football team, one of the few players expected to make it into the NFL, and I ended up seeing him all over campus.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">I might have also propositioned him, run away from him, attacked him with a cooking utensil…and…uh, maybe I shouldn’t tell you all of it. It’s pretty normal stuff, things you’d expect…from me. Eventually, the time came when I couldn’t hide anymore—not that he’d have let me even if I tried.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Before now, he never knew I was secretly watching him. Now that we see each other every day, he knows when I have a hard time looking away. It doesn’t help that I’m not the most subtle person in the world either.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">He smiles at me and tells me he finds me fascinating because of my quirks. I can’t even tell him that I think my heart beats differently whenever he’s around.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">He thinks we’re going to be best friends. I think I have a big thing for him, and the more I get to know him, the more I don’t care that I’m not allowed to be his friend, let alone fall for him.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">The thing is, that’s exactly what I’m doing—what we’re doing, I think.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Falling.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Hard.</span></span></div>

Now, after seeing tons of readers recommending <i>The Hardest Fall </i>for slow burn fans, I gave it another choice and I really enjoyed it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It’s been a while since the last time I read a romance about college students, and this book had so much of the things I love in NA. The writing wasn’t exactly my favorite, but I loved Dylan and Zoe’s relationship—especially because it was easy to see Dylan’s feelings, and I always LOVE when the hero is the one waiting for the heroine to catch up and admit her feelings for him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Dylan was an amazing hero. He was alpha, but not an asshole; he was sexy AF and he never made fun of all of Zoe’s quirks or disrespected her in any way. Despite being a football player, he wasn’t portrayed as a man-whore. In fact, he made it clear from the start that he was a one-woman kind of guy and he showed that repeatedly. He adored Zoe and he wasn’t shy about showing anyone he felt that way, which only made him more appealing. I absolutely loved Dylan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Zoe was also a great character. She was a little much at times, but she had some great moments and her reaction when one of her friends was attacked won me over, because she pushed fear away and was brave enough to protect the person she loved.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Overall, this was a sexy read with a slow burn romance and a book-boyfriend material hero, so I’m happy I didn’t give up on this story.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">I heard MZ was releasing a new book about the time she made an excerpt for Luna and the Lie available. Of course I read that as soon as I found it online and then the waiting began. It was painful, I'll tell you that. Unfortunately for me, the week the book came out life was kicking my ass, so I had to wait until now to read it. </span><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">The good news is that I enjoyed it, despite it not being my favorite read by MZ, who's one of my favorite romance authors.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">The Queen of Slow Burn delivered the kind of romance she's famous for, but Luna and the Lie might've been a LITTLE too slow for me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://media1.tenor.com/images/04a1753bdc9ba3c21b7edb0997ad5c62/tenor.gif?itemid=7443414" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="254" data-original-width="358" height="227" src="https://media1.tenor.com/images/04a1753bdc9ba3c21b7edb0997ad5c62/tenor.gif?itemid=7443414" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">Look, I'm not complaining about the formula MZ uses for her books because I'm a HUGE fan and I live for slow burn, but at times it felt like this book was a little too much about Luna and her struggles and a little less about the romance.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">On one hand, I loved Luna, so I enjoyed the scenes about her life and her relationship with the side characters. I know she isn't as outspoken as most of MZ's main character, but let's give the girl a break because everything in her life and past was so messed up and she never ran away from dealing with all that mess. She was a strong person, and I admired her for that. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">On the other hand, I thought some of those scenes about Luna and her life could've been replaced with interactions between Luna and Rip, especially because I feel like Rip needed more time to win me over. </span><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">I love a grumpy hero as much as the next MZ fan, but Rip was a little too alpha at times. Besides, I needed more groveling after what he said to Luna.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">So, while I read this pretty fast for a book so long and I was still left wanting more, I can't say it's my favorite MZ book.</span><br />

But when Calla learns that Wren’s days may be numbered, she knows that it’s time to make the long trip back to the remote frontier town where she was born.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">She braves the roaming wildlife, the odd daylight hours, the exorbitant prices, and even the occasional—dear God—outhouse, all for the chance to connect with her father: a man who, despite his many faults, she can’t help but care for. While she struggles to adjust to this rugged environment, Jonah—the unkempt, obnoxious, and proud Alaskan pilot who helps keep her father’s charter plane company operational—can’t imagine calling anywhere else home. And he’s clearly waiting with one hand on the throttle to fly this city girl back to where she belongs, convinced that she’s too pampered to handle the wild.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Jonah is probably right, but Calla is determined to prove him wrong. Soon, she finds herself forming an unexpected bond with the burly pilot. As his undercurrent of disapproval dwindles, it’s replaced by friendship—or perhaps something deeper? But Calla is not in Alaska to stay and Jonah will never leave. It would be foolish of her to kindle a romance, to take the same path her parents tried—and failed at—years ago. It’s a simple truth that turns out to be not so simple after all.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">Damn. How did I not know about this book before now?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">The Simple Wild has quickly earned a place in my "best romance reads of the year" list, and I had the feeling that it'd get a spot after reading the first chapter. Funny enough, the first chapter isn't even about Calla's love story--nope, it's about her parents' tragic love, and that's why I say this is a book about two love stories.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">First, let me say part of what kept me turning page after page so fast was that I wanted, NEEDED to know what would happen to Calla's parents. That love story tugged at my heart in a way that was actually painful (and it wasn't even the main love story). But it's not my fault the author decided to bring such angst with those two. I can't resist angst.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">Everything was so tragic and messed up. I resented Wren, Calla's dad, for marrying a woman he knew wouldn't adapt to his lifestyle and still wanted to hug him because he loved Susan, Calla's mom, so damn much that he couldn't not marry her and take what little time they had together. Then I resented Susan for making Simon, Calla's stepdad, feel so much like "her second choice" when the man was amazing and so madly in love with her. But then, I wanted to hug her because I can't blame her for loving Wren so much two decades simply couldn't erase that love.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">Damn... just thinking about them and how tragic and complicated and messed up the whole thing is makes me want to cry.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">I did cry when that thing in the end happened. No spoilers, but it was beautiful and painful and I felt my heart breaking in tiny pieaces.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">I was probably more obsessed with Calla's parents love story than anything else, but okay.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">Now, Calla's relationship with her father sick father was another gut punch. Someone should've warned me this book would be that painful.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">Wren was not an easy man to forgive, considering he was the one who decided to step back and not be in his daughter's life. Sure he later explained why, but it was still no reason to do what he did, so I got Calla's pain. Still, the man was dying and he was really, really good to Calla when she was there with him, so, yeah, again, I both resented and wanted to hug him.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">Then comes Calla and Jonah and all the instant hatred and banter that was clearly just amazing chemistry and I'm dying because the romance is also slow burn and they're pranking each other and OMG, they finally kiss!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">This book was almost too much. It was also almost a five-star read, if nothing for one little thing: I didn't like how Jonah was obsessed with poking fun at Calla's style and make-up obsession. Look, I'll be the first to say I don't understand how some people choose to wake up hours earlier so they can apply the perfect make up every single day before they step out of the house, but that's not my problem. Nor it's Jonah's, and the way he went about this was annoying and problematic. So, no, Jonah, you don't get to force Calla to wear less make-up just because you want her to by being an ass about it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">So, had that make-up BS not been part of the story, The Simple Wild would've been a five-star read for me, because it gave me two love stories to obsess over and it broke my heart and put it back together with that adorable ending.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">By the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author who “hilariously depicts modern dating” (<i>Us Weekly</i>), <i>My Favorite Half-Night Stand</i>is a laugh-out-loud romp through online dating and its many, many fails.</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Millie Morris has always been one of the guys. A UC Santa Barbara professor, she’s a female-serial-killer expert who’s quick with a deflection joke and terrible at getting personal. And she, just like her four best guy friends and fellow professors, is perma-single.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">So when a routine university function turns into a black tie gala, Mille and her circle make a pact that they’ll join an online dating service to find plus-ones for the event. There’s only one hitch: after making the pact, Millie and one of the guys, Reid Campbell, secretly spend the sexiest half-night of their lives together, but mutually decide the friendship would be better off strictly platonic.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">But online dating isn’t for the faint of heart. While the guys are inundated with quality matches and potential dates, Millie’s first profile attempt garners nothing but dick pics and creepers. Enter “Catherine”—Millie’s fictional profile persona, in whose make-believe shoes she can be more vulnerable than she’s ever been in person. Soon “Catherine” and Reid strike up a digital pen-pal-ship...but Millie can’t resist temptation in real life, either. Soon, Millie will have to face her worst fear—intimacy—or risk losing her best friend, forever.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Perfect for fans of </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Roxanne</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;"> and </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">She’s the Man</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">, Christina Lauren’s latest romantic comedy is full of mistaken identities, hijinks, and a classic love story with a modern twist.

<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I wish I could say I loved this as
much as Christina Lauren’s last releases. I didn’t, which is sad, because I’ve
become a fan of these two amazing authors and I was dying, I mean DYING to get

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For some reason, this book and I
didn’t connect on that next level that is necessary for me to really, really
love something. Maybe I wasn’t in the right mood to read it (despite
anticipating this and a BFF to lovers read for weeks), because when I think
about the elements in the story, I truly appreciate them—especially the way the
romance developed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I feel like Christina Lauren added
something different to the BFFs that fall in love dynamic by making both Millie
and Reid unaware of their feelings for each other for most of the book. It wasn’t
the typical “one loves the other and is just waiting for the other to get with
the program” dynamic I normally see (and love) in books with this trope. Millie
and Reid were surely attracted to each other, but they fell in love slowly and
together while navigating the awkwardness that comes with falling for your best
friend. That was fresh and interesting take, and I’m mad at myself for not
appreciating it as much while reading.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Something else I loved about this
book was the group of friends Millie and Reid had. Though I wish their
personalities were a little more distinguishing—it took me a while to get who
they were as individuals—I got some serious <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The
Big Bang Theory</i> vibe from this group. Was I the only one? And though I know
TBBT is problematic, I still enjoyed their dynamic.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Speaking of problematic…Well, part
of why I can’t rate this book a little higher was how bothered I was about the
fact that Reid seemed to want to push Millie to change and become more open. I
didn’t approve of the way he acted toward the end, and it felt a little too
much like he was forcing her to talk about things she wasn’t comfortable or
ready to talk about. I loved Millie because I identified with her in the sense
that I’m also very private and keep my feelings and thoughts inside, so it
irked me that Reid reacted the way he did.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, while there was tons to like about this
book, I feel like I couldn’t connect with the romance in the level I wanted,
which makes this my least favorite book of all the amazing stories these two authors
have released in the past couple of years.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Sean Suh is done with killing. After serving three years in a psychiatric prison, he’s determined to stay away from temptation. But he can't resist Annabelle--beautiful, confident, incandescent Annabelle--who alone can see past the monster to the man inside. The man he's desperately trying to be.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Then Annabelle disappears.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Sean is sure she’s been kidnapped—he witnessed her being taken first hand—but the police are convinced that Sean himself is at the centre of this crime. And he must admit, his illness has caused him to “lose time” before. What if there’s more to what happened than he’s able to remember?</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Though haunted by the fear that it might be better for Annabelle if he never finds her, Sean can’t bring himself to let go of her without a fight. To save her, he’ll have to do more than confront his own demons… He'll have to let them loose.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Told from the POV of a killer—no spoilers, since this info is on the
blurb—<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hunting Annabelle </i>is a
psychological thriller filled with twisted and interesting characters, tension
and even some moments that made me laugh a little (even though I know I shouldn’t).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The first chapter is so freaking good. It had a lot of mystery involving
Sean (what he was/what he had done) and the chemistry between Sean and
Annabelle was undeniable. I was so ready to fall madly in love with them and
ignore the fact that Sean was a freaking killer. I’d done that with Dexter, so
why not again, right?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Well, I did like Sean a lot, but there was a few things that kept this
book from reaching first-couple-of-seasons-Dexter level of perfection to me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">First, I went into this under the impression that Sean and Annabelle
were a thing. Don’t know why. I just read the blurb that way. So I expected a
relationship (old or newish, but still something solid). Problem is, Sean and
Annabelle spend so little time together before she’s kidnapped that it was
really hard for me to connect with them and Sean’s love for her. Insta-love
rarely works for me, and despite the awesome chemistry in the first chapter,
this one didn’t. And because I couldn’t connect with “their love”, I ended up
questioning a lot of Sean’s later thoughts and actions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Second thing that didn’t work for me was the big twist. Not that there
was anything wrong with the twist <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">per se</i>.
It was a good one if you didn’t see it coming. Unfortunately for me, I guessed
it on Chapter 4. I can even tell you the exact paragraph that made it all clear
for me, because I highlighted it on my Kindle and added a note. Because of
that, when the twist was revealed, it ended up having little impact on me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">BUT, big BUT here, the story was still intriguing, so I kept reading. I
think what made this book the most interesting was the choice of POV. Being
inside Sean’s head was at times confusing (in a good way), entertaining and
disturbing. He was going through so much and trying so hard to keep it
together, I couldn’t help but root for him. And the times he let go and

didn’t guess the twist and enjoy messed up characters doing messed up things will
enjoy the heck out of some scenes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

an interesting read from a debut author that shows promise. The fact that it,
at times, reminded me of one of my favorite TV shows only made it better.</span><br />

Growing up on her own, she's been raising her sister Mattie in an isolated small town, trying her best to provide a normal life and keep their heads above water.<br /><br />But when Mattie is found dead, Sadie's entire world crumbles. After a somewhat botched police investigation, Sadie is determined to bring her sister's killer to justice and hits the road following a few meagre clues to find him.<br /><br />When West McCray—a radio personality working on a segment about small, forgotten towns in America—overhears Sadie's story at a local gas station, he becomes obsessed with finding the missing girl. He starts his own podcast as he tracks Sadie's journey, trying to figure out what happened, hoping to find her before it's too late.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #181818;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background: white;">First of all, this audiobook is stellar. I wasn't a big fan of audiobooks, but this one definitely changed my mind and made me eager to listen to more. Here's hoping my next one is just as good.</span></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #181818;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background: white;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #181818;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background: white;">Second, am I the only one who feels like this is neither YA nor mystery as it's being marketed?</span></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #181818;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background: white;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #181818;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background: white;">Whatever it is or isn't, this book was still pretty great. Raw, like pretty much everything Courtney Summers writes, it was a story that wasn't the easiest to listen to because of how painful Sadie's entire life had been. For someone so young, she'd gone through so much already, and I couldn't help but feel for her, want to protect her and take her far away from that cruel world. Poor Sadie deserved so much better than what life had given her (and much better than that ending, if I'm being honest).</span></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #181818;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background: white;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Dude, that ending...</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #181818;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background: white;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Aside from the ending, that was a lot to like about the book. The characters weren't as black and white as one might expect with a book with such a serious and troubling theme; Sadie's POV had just the right amount of sarcasm to make her voice stand out; and even though there was little mystery involving the murder and the murderer, Sadie's fate and her path to revenge kept me interested from start to finish.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">And I really, really loved how Sadie was portrayed: as someone who was trying SO hard to be strong and dangerous when you could so clearly see how broken she was. I don't love that she was broken, but I loved the contrast and how it made her narrative more powerful.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">I initially also liked the podcast chapters, but they lost some of their purpose toward the end. Things got a little repetitive and I couldn't see the point of reliving everything we'd already seen in Sadie's POV.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Overall, though, this is another win when it comes to Courtney Summers' ability to write dark themes, raw feelings and engaging protagonists.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><strong>Falling for your surly boss is a rotten idea.
Letting him saw you in half is even worse…
</strong>Beatrice Baker may be a struggling artist, but she believes all hardships have silver linings…until she follows her boyfriend to New Orleans and finds him with another woman. Instead of turning those lemons into lemonade, she drinks lemon drop martinis and keys the wrong man’s car.
Now she works for Huxley Marlow of the Marvelous Marlow Boys, getting shoved in boxes as an on-stage magician’s assistant. A cool job for some, but Bea’s been coerced into the role to cover her debt. She also <em>maybe</em> fantasizes about her boss’s adept hands and what else they can do.
She absolutely will not fall for him, or kiss him senseless. Until she does. The scarred, enigmatic Huxley has unwittingly become her muse, unlocking her artistic dry spell, but his vague nightly activities are highly suspect. The last time Beatrice trusted a man, her bank account got drained and she almost got arrested. Surely this can’t end <em>that</em> badly...right?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A small-town girl at heart, Kelly moved from the city to open a cheese shop with her husband in northern Ontario. When she’s not neck deep in cheese or out hiking, you can find her, notepad in hand, scribbling down one of the many plot bunnies bouncing around in her head. She laughs at her own jokes and has been known to eat her feelings—gummy bears heal all. She’s also an incurable romantic, devouring romance novels into the wee hours of the morning.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">The first time I met Jax Blackwood things went a little sideways.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">In my defense, I didn’t know he was Jax Blackwood—who expects a legendary rock star to be shopping for groceries? More importantly, a blizzard was coming and he was about to grab the last carton of mint-chocolate chip.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">Still, I might have walked away, but then he smugly dared me to try and take the coveted ice cream. So I kissed him. And distracted that mint-chip right out of his hands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">Okay, it was a dirty move, but desperate times and all that. Besides, I never expected he’d be my new neighbor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">An annoying neighbor who takes great pleasure in reminding me that I owe him ice cream but would happily accept more kisses as payment. An irresistible neighbor who keeps me up while playing guitar naked–spectacularly naked–in his living room.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">Clearly, avoidance is key. Except nothing about Jax is easy to ignore—not the way he makes me laugh, or that his particular brand of darkness matches mine, or how one look from him melts me faster than butter under a hot sun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">Neither of us believes in love or forever. Yet we’re quickly becoming each other’s addiction. But we could be more. We could be everything.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">All we have to do is trust enough to fall.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
air between us shifts. I’m filled with a strange giddiness, wanting to laugh
for the fun of it, but I’m also too warm, my limbs oddly heavy as if simple
movements might be too much for me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 28.8pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">His
tone turns soft and cajoling, teasing the truth out of me. “Are you going to
tell me what you do?” When I say nothing, the corners of his eyes crinkle. “I
see. You’re going to torture me a bit.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 28.8pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
warm, fuzzy feeling grows as I shrug. “Torture feels apropos in this scenario.”

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He
hums again, taking another step toward me. “What makes you think I won’t like
being tortured by you?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
heat of his body and the scent of his skin makes my head light and my pulse
pound. How did it get to this point where the highlight of my day is flirting
with Jax Blackwood? Despite the thrill, I know I’m in over my head. I haven’t
gone out on a date in months because I form attachments, I get emotional, and
then I hurt when they inevitably leave. And this man will leave. He is as
bright and fleeting as a camera flash. I’ll be left with the image of him
seared into my memory and nothing more. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I
tell myself all of this, the voice in my head as stern as possible. But it
doesn’t make me back away. It doesn’t stop my body from somehow straining
toward his without even moving. Because it might be stupid of me, but I want to
feel something that isn’t planned. Something, for however briefly, that’s real.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He’s
too attuned to me not to notice. John’s lids lower as his attention slides down
my body before easing back up to my face. Slowly, he rests his forearm on the
wall beside my head. “Tell me, Stella,” he murmurs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I’ve been waiting
for this book for so long, and I read it so fast when I finally got my hands on
it. No surprise there since <i>VIP </i>is
one of my favorite contemporary romance series ever. Jax’s book has been one of
my most anticipated releases since I read book #1 last year (Dude, it feels
much longer), and thank God it’s finally here so everyone can join me in
fangirling over this story.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If you’ve read my
reviews of the previous two books, you know I’m irrevocably in love with all
members of Kill John, but I always end up falling hard for the women they fall
in love with. Once again, Kristen Callihan has brought to life a strong,
independent, kind of quirk protagonist who makes me laugh. There’s no easier
way to win my heart.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Stella, a.k.a <i>Buttons</i>, is amazing. She’s sweet and
understanding, but she’s also aware of her own needs and priorities. She isn’t
the kind of woman who’ll let people walk all over her, even though she’s small
(hence Jax’s nickname for her). I love how she comes into Jax’s life in an unexpected
and funny way, and how she doesn’t miraculously turn into a solution for his
mental illness. She’s supportive in a way that doesn’t feel pushy or cheesy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">As to Jax, what
can I say? He has probably always been the most intriguing member of Kill John for
me (Gabriel Scott being the second), and I was eager to get to know him a
little better. His story turned out to be a little less angsty than I’d
anticipated, but I can’t fault the way Kristen Callihan portrayed depression in
this story. Her approach was respectful, sensitive and she stayed away from clichés
and magical solutions, which is A LOT more than I can say about other books out
there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The relationship between
Stella and Jax develops slowly (yes to slow burn!!!!), and they go from friends
to more in a way that feels organic. They were sexy, adorable and funny
together. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Now, I wish we’d
gotten more scenes with all the cast together, but since they were off tour,
there were less opportunities for Kill John’s members and their loved ones to
interact with the main characters of this book. But the scenes we got were just
as great as I remembered. Plus, I got to see Gabriel Scott and Sophie Darling
being adorably in love and introducing us to the new member of their family.
OMG, you need a scene with Gabriel Scott holding his gorgeous baby boy in your
life. Trust me, you do!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">The
first time I met Jax Blackwood things went a little sideways.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">In
my defense, I didn’t know he was Jax Blackwood—who expects a legendary rock
star to be shopping for groceries? More importantly, a blizzard was coming and
he was about to grab the last carton of mint-chocolate chip.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">Still,
I might have walked away, but then he smugly dared me to try and take the
coveted ice cream. So I kissed him. And distracted that mint-chip right out of
his hands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">Okay,
it was a dirty move, but desperate times and all that. Besides, I never
expected he’d be my new neighbor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">An
annoying neighbor who takes great pleasure in reminding me that I owe him ice
cream but would happily accept more kisses as payment. An irresistible neighbor
who keeps me up while playing guitar naked–spectacularly naked–in his living
room.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">Clearly,
avoidance is key. Except nothing about Jax is easy to ignore—not the way he
makes me laugh, or that his particular brand of darkness matches mine, or how
one look from him melts me faster than butter under a hot sun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">Neither
of us believes in love or forever. Yet we’re quickly becoming each other’s
addiction. But we could be more. We could be everything.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

we have to do is trust enough to fall.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">I clear my
throat. “While I was eating my ice cream—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">He actually
flinches. “Fuck. You recognized me.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 28.8pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 28.8pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">His chin tips
in a pugnacious angle. “It’s my name. John is … me. Jax is who I am onstage.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 28.8pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">I picture him
performing, all electric energy and raw passion and sheer talent. It’s a sight
to behold. Hell, a couple of really hot fantasies have been induced by that
sight. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 28.8pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">While I’m
lost in a teen fantasy, his eyes dart around like he’s expecting someone to pop
out from behind a snow mound and take his picture. Then his gaze snags on me.
My expression must be slightly punch drunk, because his entire body leans away
from mine. Not exactly flattering to realize he’s afraid I’ll try to lick his
face or something. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 28.8pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">I snap my gaping
mouth closed. “Oh, calm down. It’s not like I’m going to start squealing and
try to grab your junk.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 28.8pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">His
expression lightens a little. “I think if you grabbed my junk, I’d be the one
squealing.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 28.8pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">“True. I have
surprisingly strong hands.” When he stares at me in horror, I hold them up and
wiggle my fingers. “Yoga. It’s highly effective.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 28.8pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">“My balls
just flinched in terror.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 28.8pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">“Consider
yourself warned.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 28.8pt;">

Despite her mediocre track record with men, she believes in swooning, sighing, and the everlasting love of true soul mates. Sure, sex is okay, but she’s not someone who’s ever been driven by her animal urges. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Until now. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">When Asha stumbles upon the scorching hot Instagram feed of someone calling himself Professor Feelgood, she falls in lust for the first time.

However, the ink is barely dry on a book deal before she realizes she’s made a terrible mistake. Sure, the professor is incredibly talented and sexier than any man has a right to be, but the man behind the persona isn’t at all who she pictured. In real life, he’s intense, arrogant and infuriating, and his uncanny ability to rub her the wrong way turns her dream project into a total nightmare.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Knowing that the professor is everything she doesn’t want in a man should help Asha ignore her occasional urges to mount him, but she quickly learns that explosive, unwanted chemistry can make even smart people do stupid things.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><i style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Don't miss this sexy new standalone from the international bestselling author of </i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Bad Romeo</span><i style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;"> and </i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Broken Juliet.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I can’t say much about the
reveal and the romance, because I don’t want to spoil the story too much, but
the romance arc gave me two of the tropes I love the most: hate to love + BFF
to love.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

everything sweeter. Sweet is also the perfect way to describe the ending.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;"><i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Nalini Singh continues her Hard Play series with a sweet, sexy romance featuring big, fat, OTT weddings, a meddling grandma, and a too-serious hero who needs to be unbuttoned…</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;">Nayna Sharma agreed to an arranged marriage in the hope it would heal the fractures in her beloved family… only to realize too late that a traditional marriage is her personal nightmare. Panicked, she throws caution to the winds, puts on the tiniest dress she can find, and ends up in the arms of a tall, rough-edged hunk of a man who has abs of steel—and who she manages to mortally insult between one kiss and the next.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;">Abandoned as a child, then adopted into a loving family, Raj Sen believes in tradition, in continuity. Some might call him stiff and old-fashioned, but he knows what he wants—and it’s a life defined by rules… yet he can’t stop thinking about the infuriating and sexy woman who kissed him in the moonlight then disappeared. When his parents spring an introduction on him, the last woman he expects is her. Beautiful. Maddening. A rule breaker in the making.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;">He’s all wrong for her. She’s all wrong for him. And love is about to make rebels of them both.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Nayna is the kind of protagonist
that steals my heart from page one and refuses to give it to back to me even
after the story is over. She’s such a gentle soul. A beautiful person that I
wish was real and my friend. Her desire for freedom and adventure never gets in
the way of her love and respect for her family, and that balance is just
another reason to love her.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Raj is book boyfriend
material at its best. Thoughtful, respectful, serious, committed, sexy, smart.
I can’t even with this man. He’s ridiculously perfect in a way that should be
annoying but totally isn’t. I love, love, love his relationship with his
parents and siblings. He’s one of those men who learned that he should treat
women with the same care and respect he wants men to treat the little sister he
dearly loves. He owes up to his mistakes, fights for the people he cares and
protects them in a way that doesn’t feel suffocating.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The chemisty between Nayna
and Raj is out of this word. I felt every scene between them from start to
finish. Their adorable, sexy and perfect together. It also helps that Raj was
so out-of-this-world in love with Naya. The “man who madly loves the woman who
is reluctant to commit to her feelings” always gets me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Aside from Nayna and Raj’s
perfect relationship, I adored the family dynamic. It was a beautiful thing to
see both Nayna and Raj interact with their own families and with each other’s
parents, grandparents and siblings. Nayna’s grandmother is probably my favorite
character aside from the main couple. She made me laugh out loud more than a couple
of times. But in truth, I loved everyone in Nayna’s family. Same goes for Raj’s
parents and little sister. In fact, I was dying to read a <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>YA book about Aditi, because she came across as
such a smart and strong young lady.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And there were happy endings delivered like Xmas presents and I can't even bring myself to care that some were unrealistic. Real life is hard so books are allowed to give me as many happy ever afters as they want.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Honestly, I can’t think
about anything I didn’t like in this book. Even the annoying sister-in-law had
her place in the story and the third person narrative, despite not being my
favorite in general, worked wonderfully here. The book was just that amazing!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">Marlee thought she scored the man of her dreams only to be scorched by a bad breakup. But there's a new player on the horizon, and he's in a league of his own...</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">Marlee Harper is the perfect girlfriend. She's definitely had enough practice by dating her NFL-star boyfriend for the last ten years. But when she discovers he has been tackling other women on the sly, she vows to never date an athlete again. There's just one problem: Gavin Pope, the new hotshot quarterback and a fling from the past, has Marlee in his sights. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">Gavin fights to show Marlee he's nothing like her ex. Unfortunately, not everyone is ready to let her escape her past. The team's wives, who never led the welcome wagon, are not happy with Marlee's return. They have only one thing on their minds: taking her down. But when the gossip makes Marlee public enemy number one, she worries about more than just her reputation. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">Between their own fumbles and the wicked wives, it will take a Hail Mary for Marlee and Gavin's relationship to survive the season.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">As a fan of football and
NFL-themed romances, I was looking forward to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Intercepted</i>, a book that got a huge amount of buzz before its
release. The romance lived up to the hype, but I was so bothered by how women
were portrayed in this story that I couldn’t fall entirely in love with the
book.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Look, the protagonist,
Marlee was fun and her voice was awesome, even with all the hashtags thrown in
the middle. I loved that she was biracial! She was one of those “out there”
people who loved their personality and didn’t make excuses for it, which made
her easy to like. It also helped that this was written by a former NFL wife,
which gave authenticity to the whole thing. There were some nice inside details
thrown in there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Gavin was a little grey
for me. Not really alpha, not really beta, but still pretty hot and likable.
Aside from that move near the end, he was thoughtful and respectful of Marlee.
Together, Mrlee and Gavin had great chemistry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">If only based on the
romance, my rating would’ve been higher. Problem is, Marlee pretty much hates
and is hated/antagonized by practically every women she meets. Like I said,
this is a debut from a former NFL wife, so I guess she knows what she’s talking
about, but I still find it hard to believe every single NFL wife is a selfish,
self-serving, problematic, bitchy person.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Thinking back, I can only
recall two women that were nice to Marlee from start to finish: her best
friend, Noami (a really great character), which doesn’t really count because
being nice is part of the job as a BFF; and her new boss at a super cool bar
she starts working at. Every other woman (and there were tons of them)
antagonized her. The main villain was the wife of the former quarterback, and
that rivalry worked just fine considering their loved ones position in the
team, but it could’ve ended there. There was no need for every other woman to
be portrayed as insufferable and selfish human beings. It really bothered me to
see all the woman-on-woman hate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

romance, the dynamics involving the main character and the other women in the
story left a bitter taste in my mouth, preventing me from loving this.</span></div>

monkey wrench. The four time Defensive Player of the Year, three time NFL sack
leader, and all-around football god has officially hit rock bottom. A
devastating back injury means he may have to retire and that scares him more
than doctors telling him that the next hit could leave him paralyzed. All he
needs is a quiet place to think and his teammate’s beach house sounds like just
the place. Problem is, the woman already living there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

cuddly creatures (four legged and two), really bloody sexy pulp, the NY Jets
(although she’s reconsidering after this season), and to while away the day at
the barn (apparently she does her best thinking shoveling horse crap). What
she’s not enamored with is referring to herself in the third person and social
media so don’t expect her to get on Twitter anytime soon. Oh, and although she
was born in Italy, she’s been Jersey Strong since she turned six.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Hazel Camille Bradford knows she’s a lot to take—and frankly, most men aren’t up to the challenge. If her army of pets and thrill for the absurd don’t send them running, her lack of filter means she’ll say exactly the wrong thing in a delicate moment. Their loss. She’s a good soul in search of honest fun.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Josh Im has known Hazel since college, where her zany playfulness proved completely incompatible with his mellow restraint. From the first night they met—when she gracelessly threw up on his shoes—to when she sent him an unintelligible email while in a post-surgical haze, Josh has always thought of Hazel more as a spectacle than a peer. But now, ten years later, after a cheating girlfriend has turned his life upside down, going out with Hazel is a breath of fresh air.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Not that Josh and Hazel date. At least, not each other. Because setting each other up on progressively terrible double blind dates means there’s nothing between them...right?</span></span></div>

soon as he got to know Hazel better it was clear he didn’t care she saw life
differently. He embraced her completely and never looked back, and that’s
because the man had a heart of gold. Josh is one of those beta males who makes
me believe there are still good people out there. The world needs more Joshes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was obsessed with their chemistry,
with how their friendship developed and how they fell in love with each other
so organically. There was nothing forced about their relationship. It was
everything it needed to be and more. And the hot scenes??? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The double dates were fun, some a
little awkward, but still fun. Hazel and Josh’s relationship with her sister
and brother-in-law made the book even richer. So did their relationship with
their mothers. I only wished the ex-boyfriend plot had never happened. That’s
probably my only complaint about this story.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
