Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry Review

No one knows what happened the night Echo Emerson went from popular girl with jock boyfriend to gossiped-about outsider with "freaky" scars on her arms. Even Echo can't remember the whole truth of that horrible night. All she knows is that she wants everything to go back to normal.

But when Noah Hutchins, the smoking-hot, girl-using loner in the black leather jacket, explodes into her life with his tough attitude and surprising understanding, Echo's world shifts in ways she could never have imagined. They should have nothing in common. And with the secrets they both keep, being together is pretty much impossible.

Yet the crazy attraction between them refuses to go away. And Echo has to ask herself just how far they can push the limits and what she'll risk for the one guy who might teach her how to love again.

My Thoughts:

5/5 stars

 

Fans of the Breathing Series by Rebecca Donovan will love this book!!

 

I honestly cannot utter enough praise about this book. It had me an emotional mess... I went from having butterflies in my stomach to tears in my eyes.

 

The story is about a young girl who experienced a life changing event that involved her mother. She goes from the popular girl with the popular boyfriend to the outcast.

When she meets mysterious, bad boy Noah... her eyes are opened to life again. Together they try to uncover the secrets of their pasts and while doing so they fall head over heels for each other. It is an emotional ride though. There is romance, mystery, and heart break.

 

The storyline and writing were terrific. I highly recommend!

Lick by Kylie Scott Review

Waking up in Vegas was never meant to be like this.
Evelyn Thomas's plans for celebrating her twenty-first birthday in Las Vegas were big. Huge. But she sure never meant to wake up on the bathroom floor with a hangover to rival the black plague, a very attractive half-naked tattooed man in her room, and a diamond on her finger large enough to scare King Kong. Now if she could just remember how it all happened.

One thing is certain, being married to one of the hottest rock stars on the planet is sure to be a wild ride.

My Thoughts:
4.5/5 Stars

I loved every bit of this book. It was fun, sexy, emotional, and romantic.

 

It is every girl's fantasy to wake up with a huge rock on your left ring finger and a rock star in your bed. This book is about just that...

Evelyn has a wild 21st birthday that leads her to Rock Legend David Ferris.

When she wakes up married to him she can't remember a single thing from the night before. She wants it all to go away and heads home where she is greeted by paparazzi and fans. When it all becomes too much she decides to take up David's offer to live with him for a bit.

They try to figure out the annulment papers, but begin to fall for one another.

 

This book was a page turner! I'm not much for Rock Star romances, but this one balanced both worlds perfectly. The built up romance was great and the little details added life to the story.

 

I highly recommend this book!

Unattainable by Madeline Sheehan Review

Warning: This is not a virtuous and tender love story. It’s chaotic, ruthless, and tragic. This story takes love and kills its innocence, steals away the pure moments, and crushes the hearts of the broken. A story born in childhood, tying one girl to one boy, leads to a destructive path—that hurts more than it doesn’t, that shatters more than it heals—testing the love that binds the two through a lifetime.

Tegen Matthews is the daughter of Dorothy Kelley, a club whore in the Hell’s Horsemen. A plain little girl, Tegen falls into the gritty world of the motorcycle club. When she meets a sweet, caring boy, she embraces the warmth and affection he shows her. Cage West is the son of the president of the Hell’s Horsemen. Tall and blond with deep brown eyes, as he grows up Cage realizes the power of his dimpled smile and smooth drawl. With one chance encounter, Tegen becomes forever tied to Cage. Following is a wayward journey that is filled with regrets, mistakes, and heartache, pulling at the threads that hold them together. Cage and Tegen fight hard but love harder, and in the end, what matters is where the journey takes one girl and one boy, who have been twined with one another since the beginning.

This is Tegen and Cage’s story.

Love doesn’t erase a broken heart, and it sure doesn’t change people. But no matter how old, how flimsy, how frayed the rope of love is, it keeps you tethered to the people you love.

Tegan & Cage Who?? I have one word for this book... DIRTY!

There are two different stories... Tegan & Cage's and Dirty & Ellie. When it came to the first couples story I skimmed. There was a lot going on and quite frankly it didn't suck me in...

 

Now Dirty's story was compelling, heart wrenching, & AMAZING!

You must know  though, that he is not flowers & romance. He is damaged and messed up. When he stumbles across Ellie he can't help but protect her. At first he tries to keep her at arms length, but she moves in closer and closer. Slowly he lets his guard down and together they face his demons.

 

I felt Dirty deserved a whole book because there was so much more that could have happened. He was raw and I loved it!

 

The writing was excellent & I highly recommend it.

 

 

Vital Sign by J.L. Mac Review

I used to have a great life. My little world was bright. I had no complaints. My perfectly simple life made the fall from grace that much more devastating. I plummeted from the heavenly little bubble that I shared with Jake. I fell fast and hard straight into the fiery pits of hell. The knowledge of how things used to be is a bittersweet torture that refuses me even one moment of respite. I live in a painful reverie that I can’t escape.
I had it good once.
That’s gone now.
All of it disappeared like vapor into the ether. I’m a lost woman, wandering through grief and struggling to come to terms with my new title: widow. My family says I need understanding and closure. I say a cigarette and a bottle of wine is a much better option for instant gratification.
I’m the awkward, depressed one standing in the corner making everyone around me miserably uncomfortable. I’m the one with vacant eyes that society strives to help but can’t. I’m the one who hands out tight smiles and derisive snorts. I’m the widow adrift in this world with no direction. No meaning. No hope. No vital sign.

***

Sadie sets out on a journey to healing without knowing that things will get far worse before they get better. Despite her general indifference to organ donation, she finds herself on a journey to seek out the only people who benefited from her husband’s tragic death.
Resentment runs rampant as she meets the thriving organ recipients. Anger and jealousy spiral, sending the delicate structure of Sadie’s emotions into a tailspin.
Alexander McBride got a second chance—one that he didn’t necessarily want. Alexander is a game changer for Sadie. She hates him for his health but can’t help feeling at home in his presence. He soothes her grief in a way that is intoxicating, addictive even.
The heart that once fell in love with her now resides in Alexander McBride’s chest. It’s a circumstance that forces her to wage an internal war fueled by grief, anger, guilt, love, lust, and loyalty.
Sadie must discover the things that are vital to going on with her life if she has any hope of finding her way through the all-consuming grief that dominates every waking moment.

My Thoughts:

3/5 Stars

 

I wanted to love this one, but sadly for me ... it fell short.
 

The beginning was great! I was consumed with emotions and I felt everything Sadie did. I was scared to sleep at night and I replayed the break in over and over again. However when you she sets off to meet the people who received organs, I didn't feel as connected. She never asked questions about what happened or how the organ impacted their families and I just didn't feel it.

When she met Alexander I was pulled back in. You can see hints of her beginning to live again. Her chats with the Inn owner were emotional and real, which I loved!

Once we find out the truth about Alexander I was a goner. The normal, hot guy was now a state celebrity. His appeal went out the door. The ending felt rushed and once I closed the book I didn't think about it again.

Like I said before, I wanted to love this one as much as I loved the Author's other work... I just didn't.
While the writing was really good... The storyline lacked the depth to keep my interest through the entire book.

4.5/5 Stars

 

This story is about facing your fears head on and learning how to deal with them.

 

Nina leaves home for nursing school and moves into an apartment with her guy friend and two others. When she meets her roommates she is blown away by one in particular, Jake Green. He is everything she steers clear from... a Bad Boy... Hot and Tattooed with a Man whore persona. When Nina struggles with math she has to turn to her dark, mysterious engineer room mate. He begins tutoring her in exchange for taking her to face her fears. Together they embark on a journey of a beautiful romance with tons of emotion.

 

What makes this book so special is the fact that Nina and Jake show each other how to live again. They share intimate talks and texts. They open up to one another and share their deepest secrets. I loved their romance. It definitely pulls on your heartstrings.

 

Two people, both vulnerable, come together to share the most intimate parts of their lives.

 

The Author did a great job with the writing. There was just enough details to make you feel all the things the characters felt. The twists in this story keep you guessing and the storyline sucks you in.

 

I highly recommend this book!

 

Nowhere but Here by Renee Carlino Review

A jaded Chicago reporter in her twenties unexpectedly finds love in Napa Valley when she’s assigned to spend a week with a famously reclusive genius in this rich and deeply satisfying contemporary romance by the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing.

Kate Corbin has lost her spark. A year ago, she had a handsome boyfriend and a budding career as a reporter at a popular Chicago newspaper. But after the woman who raised her passed away, leaving her lost and alone, she fell into a rut—and never got out. Now she’s stuck writing fluff pieces about lipstick and wine, and feeling trapped in a relationship that’s going nowhere.

Trusting that the hungry, ace reporter is buried somewhere deep inside, Kate’s boss and mentor gives her the opportunity to jump-start her career. The assignment: spend a week interviewing R. J. Lawson, a famously reclusive tech genius who disappeared years ago but recently reemerged as the owner of a well-respected Napa Valley winery.

Kate jumps at the chance, but the trip begins in disaster, both personally and professionally. After alienating R.J., her only saving grace is Jamie, a charming vineyard hand who shows her the beauty of wine country—and stirs her aching heart. It doesn’t take long for Kate and Jamie to fall hard, and for Kate to rethink her life in the city. But the week ends with a heartbreaking journey back to Chicago that sends Kate reeling, wondering what went wrong in those four perfect days.

I loved this book so much!

The story sucked me in from page one and the romance consumed my heart.

 

Kate is a journalist, lacking enthusiasm about her stories. Her life is blah. She has an uninterested boyfriend and the excitement of her day lies on the L Train with a crazy guy (Or so everyone says). When she is given a story on R.J. Lawson, a mysterious business man, her life is turned upside down. She heads to a Napa winery with hopes of finding inspiration for her story. What she doesn't expect to find is love...

 

When she arrived at the Winery and ran into Jamie, Swoon, I was so hopeful that it would turn into something beautiful. He was just everything a book boyfriend should be... charming, sweet, sexy, caring, and great with his hands. Diabetes is near and dear to my heart so that aspect was special too! It was cute to see Kate hide snacks in her bag. I also loved how Jamie wrote Kate itineraries. The way he wanted her in comfy clothes just added to the perfectness of their connection.

 

The Author did a wonderful job making you feel as though you were living in the characters shoes. There were tons of emotions to be felt... hurt, hope, love, and anger. I wasn't expecting the twists in the story and that aspect made it even better!

 

The ending was perfect and the wedding was unforgettable!

I highly recommend this book
