Mastered by Maya BanksMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I am blown away by this hot mysterious book by Maya Banks. Wow just the dominance this man has Drake will have you panting and dropping to your knees. Evangalie man this poor beautiful angel she is a character that you will hold dear to your heart she has that kind of impact. I wanted to be friends with this angel.She draws people in with her innocence I think she literally glows. Her vulnerability makes you love her even more the way she can make grown men scramble and question who they are because shes that perfect but naive she can't see herself the way others see her.I kept playing in my head what Drake was doing but I seriously could not figure it out. There are a few scenes that make you cringe but its a great agnsty feeling that makes you to not ever finish the book. Maya Banks has hit a Grand Slam in my opinion with this series I can't wait to get more. I received this as an Arc from the publisher and netgalley for an honest review.

Untamed by S.C. StephensMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
What can I say about this book but my mind is completely blown away. Griffin was always so special to me because he just had this personality that was so awkward it made you love him. But I never dreamed I could love him this much. He's amazing I honestly laughed so much but not going to lie I screamed and cried to. The depth of this story brings Griffin to an even better character that everyone will relate to. Life has ups and downs been there done that but living it in Griffin and Anna's eyes was truly a remarkable experience. You see different sides to both of these characters real life struggles and being humbled by what you have. Greed can be a cruel thing but also treating someone with respect this all stands out in this brilliant story. What amazed me even more was the connection between all the characters they simply are a beautiful family. I will always be a loyal D-bags fan. This just makes me want to go back and read all the books again to soak up the feelings this story brought to life. This author is an amazing author and I'm a huge fan.

The Weight of Rain by Mariah DietzMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Lo (Lauren) is a brilliant young woman that you will honestly love everything about her. She's the lead character in this story and words fail me to describe the depth of this story. King is this guy who is actually someone that belongs to a family that sticks together through anything. With love and loss there family is one that you will envy with the passion they share amongst themselves. Lo is on her own and along the way has met a few people who she knows she can trust but kinda feels like a third wheel. Not that Charleigh or Allie have ever made her feel this way it's because she's never been excepted or loved the way she deserves. She's got this personality that just draws you in making you feel as if you are who she is fighting for. She takes a job and meets Mercedes again these characters that this author created are amazing with the comments and wanting to feel nothing but being loved takes you on another journey all over again. Kash is Mercedes dad but Kings brother who is a knight if I'm honest with you because he protects his most treasured gift. Summer is an amazing woman who has fire and spunk but kinda lives in the shadows but just waits. Gahhhhhhhh I could go on about the characters this is how much this whole story hit me. It's powerful because there's so much to absorb in this book. Never give your dreams up in life no matter what anyone says or thinks. If you're put down be kind because in the end there opinions didn't matter to begin with. Life in its self in a journey never be afraid to be who you are or simply play in the rain. Go and feel how refreshing and free it makes you feel jump in mud cleanse your body of all the negative things in your life. Never fight against the rain just renew yourself. This author has a unique ability to make you feel as though your apart of her books she creates an escape from the real world making you feel like a new person by the end. The message is huge and one I completely understand and loved. So please go ahead and one click this amazing book I highly recommend this is one of my top reads for 2015. I have a few this year but this is definitely in my top three. This was given to me as an arc for an honest review from the author.

Dirty English by Ilsa Madden-MillsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I would give this book a million stars if I could *******************************
I'm just saying I loved everything about this story. It was freaking bloody perfect this book gives you feels. The start of the story will twist your heart into. Being a parent I fear these things but also remembering being young and naive we all were. It's truly a book that will break your heart but put your heart back together again. Elizabeth is this fascinating young woman who honestly is perfect but so broken at the same time. She's got this beauty that she doesn't realize just draws more people in. Declan if you love British men this is definitely your book. He's hot but has this soft romantic side. Even though this guy is a total bad boy fighter. But these characters meet and I swear it's like it was fate two broken people who were so meant for each other but sometimes it's not enough. My heart was beating so fast through this phenomenal story. But I believe this is a standalone but omg there are other characters that needs to be heard from please I beg of you. Highly recommend this book. I received this as an arc from the author for an honest review and loved it. Reviewing for Night and Day book blog http://ndbbr2014.com Stephanie Powell

Until Jax by Aurora Rose ReynoldsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Seriously I'm in love with Jax just saying this man is so breathtaking it's unreal. Ellie is simply perfect what she has done with her life after going through so much will melt your heart. Hope is precious her personality is funny as can be but my favorite part is cockporn balls I had tears lol. Freaking brilliant this book offers so much in a story that you feel swept away from everything. Jax is this man who has never felt that boom until he lays eyes on the beautiful Ellie. He's scared but knows he will stop at nothing to protect her and make her his she just doesn't know. This book has comedy, amazing sex but the build up is the best part. Mystery of course and a alpha male who will make you want to claim his heart. This story is seriously phenomenal I highly recommend everyone read this book.

Rock Me Two Times by Dawn RyderMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was an arc provided by netgally and the publisher for an honest review. And honestly it was freaking hot this author did an amazing job keeping you glued to every page. Oh my God the sex scenes are phenomenal I was turning red reading them. They are intense the connection between both characters will blow you away. Syon I love his name by the way so unique and different. He's a dark but alpha Rockstar but has set eyes on Kate but nope rules are in place for a reason. Kate has this personality that is just spunky and caring you can't help but love her. Ramsey oh God please let me get a book for him he's extremely hot and arrogant with his flirty personality. Taz such a noble man I love his attitude the way he protects everyone. Need a book for him to. Drake we didn't learn enough about him but he's very loyal. This story is perfect for anyone who loves badass Rockstars but oh so alpha and is determined to get what he wants. But don't think she's just a little woman with out a mouth cause trust me this red head has a temper. Reviewing for Night and Day book blog http

His Kind of Trouble by Terri L. AustinMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is definitely a five star read for me. I loved every moment with Monica and Cal both characters have this ability to have you addicted to them. I wasn't a fan of Allie of course I might change my mind if I read the first book in this series but this story was brilliant. It had passion and and the sex was brilliant. I love learning new words and phrases from brittish makes me want to visit their. But the stories Cal would tell make you want to travel the world. Monica tried so hard to change and be what she thought she should be but to me she was the most beautiful when she was vulnerable she actually glowed. These two were made for each other. Family was very important to both of them and to see how vulnerable Cal also got made you love him even more. This author did an amazing job I am definitely a fan now. And will read the other books. And I hope we get more books about more characters in the story. I received this as an arc from netgally and the publisher for an honest review.

Friction by Sawyer BennettMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I am a huge fan of Sawyer Bennett she is a brilliant writer. But with this story it was such a wonderful touching story. The fact that we learn a valuable lesson is what I love. So before I finish my review remember this don't always judge someone for what you think is trashy always understand why they are doing what their doing. That is what is wrong with our world now. Thank you for showing us that people can really be horrible. And being a mom I would in fact do anything for my family just like Jenna. OK so Reeve I freaking love this man he's such a tease but dominant male who just makes you want to fall to your knees. Leary could own the world if she wants she is such a passionate character. I loved her morals and beliefs it was so fascinating watching her and hearing her story from being a child. This author takes you on a beautiful and crazy journey but through it all you learn to have compassion for others and not judge. ************This was an arc given to me for an honest review from netgally and the publisher.

Destroy You by K.D. CarrilloMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I am a huge fan of this author she's got this amazing ability to make you feel so many different emotions through out the story. What I loved about Toni was she was fierce and beautiful on the outside but on the inside she was literally falling apart. Trent was an amazing man even though at one point in this book I was so mad at him. I just kept thinking how could he but as Jeremy would say be careful there's always consequences in the choices we make. Oh and speaking of Jeremy and Cameron please give me a book for them ah. Seriously though this story takes you through this story and your constantly guessing what is going to happen next. I love stories that keeps me on edge but with beautiful people. This group is definitely one of my favorite book families catching up with them feels me with more joy. Even if you had me worried for a minute lol.

Grey by E.L. JamesMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Omg I loved it so much words can't express how much I enjoyed being in this man's head.
This book was perfect I loved everything about it. Getting in the head of Christian has always been something I've wanted to experience. His thoughts the way he felt his insecurities. I often thought if he could have been in love with her early on. If you are a fan of this series it's a must read I know some fans didn't get it. But I did his past it shows him in a more human form where you are able to understand why he responds the way he does. And the connection between Ana and Christian only made me love them more. Christian was my first love for books before I never really read. So to melt at the end when he declared that he loved her was absolutely beautiful. Finding more about Lelia is disturbing she was really obsessed with him. It brought flashes back to my memory of the second book. I so hope we get another book for Christian I am absolutely addicted to this author she's simply amazing and humbled by her generosity. I also can't wait to see the next movie lol totally stalkerish I know. But you only have a first one time and this story will always stay extremely close to my heart.

Destroy Me by K.D. CarrilloMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I did love the first book so much but this one was my absolute favorite. I loved watching the story progress the journey so to speak. Reed is a man anyone would fall in love with. Kate was just this sweet gorgeous woman who hid things very well. I got very swept away in this story especially when I looked at my clock and it read 3:00 am yes it is that kinda book where you can't stop reading. You are consumed by the story and refuse to stop. This story wasn't insta love like the first book but was just as beautiful watching them fall. This author is brilliant with her ways to capture your mind. Now if only I can get my hands on this third book. Also the characters are so amazing they have created a family out of all there chaotic lives. You will simply love this series.

Everything I Left Unsaid by Molly O'KeefeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
WOW this book was truly on fire. Kinda like the unknown a modern day fairytale if you can compare "Beauty and the Beast." This book is very intense and very sexual. Thank you for letting me review netgally and the publisher this was given to me for an honest review.
This is a book you could read over and over again. I felt like Dylan was the Beast and Annie was the Beauty. Not many stories keep you as captivated as this story did me. I loved the innocence Annie had to want to fight to live and absorb everything she wasn't aloud to do. The chemistry between Dylan and Annie is understandable just a voice and it's toe curling feelings. I was panting just reading it. Also what I loved about the story is I never got bored yes alot of stuff was going on but the way the author plotted out everything just fit. I'm actious to get this next book I can't wait to see all her protectors come out. Because I have a feeling Annie doesn't realize she's made a family and they will protect her. Honestly I'm just floored at how much I absolutely loved this book.

From Dust by Freya BarkerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Review coming trying to figure out how to explain this book. So far I've had one book that has been exceptional in 2015 now after reading this book I have two.
Here's my review still in a loss for words the magnitude this book takes you. It teaches you to think how would you deal or live in a similar situation.
Wow this author has left me breathless at the moment. My friend messaged me and asked if I could read this at first I won't lie because I was reluctant. Not because I didn't think it was good but because I've had so many arcs. Let me tell you this is in the top two favorites this year. What I loved about this story was I'm 39 this could have been me. It felt so real the depth of the story we sometimes don't understand a situation as we all formulate some sort of judgement. Had I met this woman I would have done something but never would I have trusted her as much as Viv did. Syd has been through a turmoil of things nobody should ever have to endure. But with love and support from people who don't even know her she gets the will to get back up and take her life back she's lived in the darkness so long. Gunnar my God finally a man who is 44 but oh so addictive. I loved the growls the grumpiness. But also the tender side of him the way he was with his children. This book will break your heart but mend it at the same time. I just love to get lost in a book that is real and this author did exactly that. She's amazing and made a fan for life.

My Soul to Keep by Kennedy RyanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wow I'm speechless at the moment I guess because this book is absolutely spectacular. I'm going to dream about Rhyson omg that man melts my freaking heart. Kai is a strong young woman who has been through alot but very stubborn. I loved her anyway though this is how much this story will affect you. Your emotions will be pulled back and forth saying oh God please Pep. To AHHHHHHH why Rhyson don't do it. This book has feels and angst the kind that makes you not want to put this story down. I was so engrossed and consumed I didn't want to do anything else. Kai and Rhyson have a connection that is so deep that not everyone will understand. I sometimes get lost in a song that takes me to another place I can imagine in my head seeing these two together so clearly because they are as one for a moment. Like the world just stops and it's just them. Not everyone is on board with Rhyson going in this direction but he doesn't care he has one thing he wants and he needs to have her. Kai is frustrating because you completely understand why she's pulling back but I wanted to push her to the ledge. I love rocker books but this one is deep the depth of the story will stand out to you like Kellan. The magnitude of getting lost in this story was out of this world. If I could rate this book for real it would be to the roof. Also country girl hello always going to relate to this. I'm a southern girl that country accent and all. You have to respect Kai for everything she's trying to accomplish and value her morals. Life is not easy at all and you can totally connect with both characters and understand there choices. I'm in awe of this author I'm going to hunt you down if you make me wait until February AHHHHHHH I need this next book like this morning at 1:54 am 10/29/15 hahaha yes I might even be in stalking mode. Anyways you never seem to fail me getting lost in one of your stories so realistic and I thank you for letting me review for you. I received this as an arc from the author for an honest review. I will be purchasing this book because its been added to my top 2015 list I have a few but this stands very strong. Get ready everyone because this story is amazing and you will love every moment.

Colton by Kelly MooneyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I am floored at how much I loved this story. I really experienced a closeness to Charlie my mom was in abusive relationships two actually. And it a horrible feeling not knowing what will happen next. Everyone should have a Colt sadly my mom was divorcing her last abuser but before it was final she died. Thankfully not by him but other reasons. Charlie was a beautiful and strong young lady to go what she did and be able to not once but twice get up and move on. Colt made me mad because he could be cold towards her and it hurt my heart especially when he went away and came back. But he truly was a wonderful man who wanted to protect her such a phenomenal read. I was given this book by the author for an honest review.

Fighting to Breathe by Aurora Rose ReynoldsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is truly a beautiful heartbreaking story. Lea and Austin shared a love that leaves you longing for more. I connected with this book so much because that intense feeling you get from the one is what I have with my husband. We've been married 20 years and no matter what it's still the same. My heart falls deeper in love with him everyday. That's why this story was so beautiful. Years apart lies told it doesn't matter those feelings never leave. And you want to hold on forever I know when I almost lost my husband it was hard to breathe because like Lea I can't lose him. The chemistry between them took your breath away when they connected there was no going back. This author did a wonderful job bringing this story to life.

Bleeding Love by Harper SloanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
5 amazing stars
This is my absolutely favorite book from Harper Sloan. She did a amazing job with this story it has everything you crave in a story. It was emotional and comical also inspiring everyone in there life needs a Liam. They way the story flows was perfect ect it reminded me of the earlier days of this writers work. Megan has been through so much even losing her husband is hard but the other things this beautiful young woman has been through breaks your heart. But Molly makes everything OK for her. And I'm not going to lie she was such an addicting character she brought sunshine to everyone. And if you know anything about this family they are just something special. I loved Nate and Axel with Molly it was just so freaking sweet and hilarious. But let's get to how this book made me feel. Which is amazing it makes you smile just thinking about how emotional and touching this book is. Can't wait for more from this series. Who's next?

Deacon by Cheryl DouglasMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
If I could I would give this book more stars ahhhhhhhh Deacon and Mia are characters you instantly fall in love with. First you get pulled in because he's such a mystery but they way he wants her no needs her is beyond hot. Mia is so beautiful and she has this spunky attitude that I just thought wow was phenomenal. But the pull between the characters is fascinating to watch. The struggles Deacon has is so hard on him he was trying but he really couldn't help it. Mia grows so much from the beginning to end of this story. The author did an amazing job of letting you understand that sometimes these things can happen. I'm not sure if they are but the story felt real to me. I'm so excited about the next book because the characters in this book with Mia and Deacon are just as great. I love a book that gives you an agnsty feeling but heartbreak to. This was given to me for an honest review from the author.

Easy Silence by Beth RinyuMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was truly a beautiful story words are failing me to explain the depth of the story. I really wasn't expecting it to be this way at all. That moment your like omg did this author seriously just blow my freaking mind. Samantha was in a life that she never really felt she belonged. She goes and spends the summer with her grandmother who is not the same woman she always knew and loved. But she knows she's needed here. She meets Jackson who is angry at the world except sometimes he shows he cares. Alot of secrets are revealed that neither of them knew anything about. But this story opens up your heart and reminds you to live. Make memories don't be afraid to be happy. Never judge people who you know nothing about. Life is to short to dwell on the unknown just embrace life. I was given this book as an arc for an honest review and I am so shocked at how much I loved it thank you for letting me review it.

Loving You Always by Kennedy RyanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
What this book made me feel is so overwhelming with such an emotional pull. Walsh was just honestly this beautiful sweet man. What he did for her the way he took his time. Alot of times I got so frustrated with her because of what she would do. But after everything comes out the story will just melt you. Words can't even describe what this story was. Two people who were meant to be together soulmates in every way possible but destiny chose a different path. Walsh was what every man should be. Cam I know he was hurt but I do not feel as if they really cheated at all. He had his own struggles and still going through and working that out. Martin the father was such a changed man. The character development was exceptional they each grew from there hurt and struggles in life. Mama Jess God love that woman she brought so much to the story. Honestly sometimes a book can just heal your heart. I loved everything about this book. So much that I'm reading the next book lol so please go get this book but get the whole series start from the beginning you will not regret it. Gahhhh I love Walsh he's my new book husband.

Slipperless by Sloan StormMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I swear this authors writing grows more each time. Fiona is a beautiful young woman who has honestly had a horrible life. She is not confident in herself and doesn't really understand how to stand up for herself. I found Gabe intriguing and hot as could be. I love the attention he gives her but also trying to teach her. She's so vulnerable it's truly a great story I can't wait to read more from this series. These two characters are completely opposite but they have this connection. What I loved even more is Fiona doesn't understand how gorgeous she is. She is not used to getting attention from men but the girl has curves which to me is awesome. Makes the character more realistic. Thank you to the author for allowing me to review the book for an honest review. Reviewing for Night and Day book blog http://ndbbr2014.com Stephanie Powell

Brave the Heat by Sara HumphreysMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I thought this story was beautifully written. A chance to have a do over a second chance at love. From the moment you meet Gavin you know he has this special thing about him I mean come on he's a firefighter. Jordan was a beautiful damaged woman who ran away from love once and fear that she would be with a man like her father. Sometimes in life we try to always make the right choices or we think there what's right at the time. Instead you should always let your heart lead you because the heart doesn't lie. I'm so touched by this story the characters are amazing. The book is about closure with demons held for along time. I can't wait to continue you this series the author did an awesome job. Full of emotional pulls. Thank you netgally and the publisher for letting me review. Reviewing for Night and Day book blog http://ndbbr2014.com Stephanie Powell

You know there are some books that you read and you're saying to yourself noway this can really happen. But let me tell this is not that kinda book. I enjoyed the playfulness between Faith and Kyle it was a build up sorta like a foreplay. And this author did a wonderful job bringing this story to life. It's a short story but you feel as though it's longer. The connection between them is undeniable I love stories that just melt your heart but also have a hotness factor without it seeming dirty or cheesy. I really hope this story continues because it leaves you happy but needing more. Thank you to the author for allowing me to review for an honest review.

Finding Me by Mariah DietzMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was truly beautifully written I am a huge fan of this author and think of her as a friend. If you haven't read this series you are missing out. Ace has been through so much and to watch her in this last book was simply breathtaking. Don't get me wrong I love Max I really do but to me this was about Ace and her journey which as you see a devastated young woman finding herself again. I truly believe that things happen for a reason and Ace did have to take this opportunity to understand herself better. She meets Fritz who you all will love he provides her with a extra push. And Kity this woman was fantastic words fail me without giving away spoilers and so I will tell you that they both needed each other. She made Ace face the things she didn't want to face. But knew she needed to. Also she meets someone new who provides her with safety and comfort. But she knew oneday she would have to face the people she left behind. What I loved the most about this book was the growth shown from Ace. Honestly she never realized how important she was and the ability that she was the key that held everyone together. So please I beg you to grab this series and get lost Mariah will not fail you. Also check her out on Facebook she loves everybody and has a heart of gold. Love you sweets

Don't Let Go by Sharla LovelaceMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
At first it was a very confusing story I mean it took some time for the story to start flowing really well. But once you hit that point it was perfect. Jules was a young girl who found herself in a situation her parents didn't agree with. Honestly it was heartbreaking what she had dealt with. And Noah as much as I loved him he was extremely selfish for what he did. And don't even get me started on Johnny Mack that man was evil. I never did warm up to him through out the whole book. What he and Jules mom did was unforgivable. I know some had made comments about cheating in the book and I guess in away maybe it did kinda happen. But I felt they needed that they never had closure and there relationship and chemistry was overwhelming. He didn't love Shayla and she was very sweet but had her faults to. I really enjoyed this book especially after the secrets started coming out. Thanks for letting me review netgally and the publisher.

Reviewing for Night and Day book blog
http://ndbbr2014.com Stephanie Powell
To start this review first I want to personally thank the publisher and authors team allowing me to read this. I absolutely was addicted to the story at first you start off in a confused state by really not understanding what happened. Which only intrigued me more I love the feeling of not knowing. The characters let me give you a rundown first let's talk about Zack. He is truly the definition of a hero he serves to protect. But he lost the one thing that truly gave his life meaning 12 years ago. Not knowing what happened if she's alive or dead and he's started thinking it's time to move forward with his life he has to let go. Gracie a beautiful damaged woman who was betrayed in worse possible way. She lost the love of her life and is trying to move forward but having such a difficult time. Wade the man is just perfect even his temper but the gentle tendencies he shows Gracie will make your heart completely melt. Eliza is fierce she is the definition who every woman wishes they could be. And many more characters in this book you get to know them all. So A.D. Is an artist that needs protection only we only get initials. So yeah your guessing who could this be. As they show up for their meeting everything changes. This book will keep you guessing the whole time. The heartbreaking story of two people who have totally lost their ability to fully understand what's happening or going on. Until some secrets are finally revealed its like your heart beating faster because you feel the characters pain. Mouth dropping and your trying to figure it out.

Unforgettable by Melody GraceMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book continues the journey of beachwood Bay. Everyone would want to live here in the real world. What I love about this series is each one can be read as a standalone. I absolutely love the Callahan boys and Teagan there sister. Noelle is a beautiful woman who was always trying to please her family until one night has her questioning her choices. When tragic strikes she decides to take a leap of faith and do what she really has always wanted. Ash is a man who has always provided for his family. Everything he's ever done has been calculated to help them in some way. Only things have changed now it's just him wanting to be successful no matter who he hurts in the process. Only he didn't know who he was ultimately going to hurt would be the one who could hurt him just as much. He's so focused he doesn't even understand the betrayal he does until its to late. But is it possible that maybe he could change and prove that he's worth a shot. I really love the community in this book they make your heart feel so warm by all the sweetness. This was given to me by the author for an honest review. Reviewing for Night and Day book blog

Insatiable, Book Two by J.D. HawkinsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Reviewing for Night and Day book blog for an honest review. And honestly I loved it great job. This was this authors second book he did a phenomenal job. I loved the little game Jax continues to play with Lizzie trying to convince her to be boring. But he wants her and by damn he's going to do everything in his power to get her back. He's never felt this way it's almost to much for him to even understand. But there is a connection he just has to get Lizzie to admit it and stop treating him as a friend cause you know "friend zoned" sucks. Honestly I really enjoyed this series I thought it was perfect Lizzie did drive me a little nutty at times but who wouldn't love Jax. He definitely made my heart melt I would love to read more about these two. Reviewing for Night and Day book blog for an honest review for the author thank you

Insatiable, Part One by J.D. HawkinsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Jax Jax has met his match. I really enjoyed this book at first it was a little confusing but as I went on I got to understand Jax more. And how he really has never wanted anything with a woman. So for him it was all new also. Lizzie doesn't know that any man would drop to his knees for her. But she's tired of the boring life she wants excitement. And boy does she get it. I'm not a fan of that ending lol but good thing for me I have the next book. This is a short story with lots of hotness and addicting banter. Jax and Lizzie together would be a definition of a power couple let's all hope for things to go this way. This is a debut for the author loved the writing can't wait for more.

Code of Honor by Missy JohnsonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I have a full review ready just waiting to get closer to release date. I reviewed this via netgally from the publisher for an honest review. I have to say it was a phenomenal read. Can't wait for more. This book was truly perfect I loved everything about it. It's a beautiful love story about two people who are meant to be together even though they aren't supposed to be. Peitro is this beautiful man who is desperately in love with Luse and would fall to the ends of the earth to save her. Only he knows he can never have her because her father would never allow it. As the story progresses we see these two open up to such a connection it takes your breath away. I was overwhelmed by the love and chemistry they share. But when something horrible happens they are both put to a test. Luce knows what she wants she has worked so hard for this moment even if she's getting it the wrong way. At this point I'm not going to lie I was so frustrated with her I couldn't believe she chose that how could she my heart broke for a moment. But then I realized that it was for the best. I am so excited to finish this series I will be biting my nails waiting with anticipation to see what happens. This author did a brilliant job bringing the story to life honestly the emotional pulls was amazing.

Redemption by Jaimie RobertsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The title of this book says everything. This is not as dark and crazy as the first book in this series but it did have a few scenes that kept you on the edge of your seat. But mostly it was about redemption and loss and the most beautiful love of two people you have ever seen. The hurt and agony these characters went through was horrible but beautiful at the same time. I am blown away by everything this book had to offer. Comedy oh my goodness I laughed so much in this book Jeremy was the cutest funniest thing ever. I loved his personality he was a mixture of both his parents. But sadly I really did love Evan he was amazing but her heart could never belong to another. Jimmy was just as amazing as Dean. Both of these characters were strong and heroic type of characters which made me understand them better. This book was really a great chance to get to meet the characters under a different circumstances. But you still see how badass they are. The thing I loved most of all was they felt real.

Deviant by Jaimie RobertsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I want to start this review first by saying I got this book on accident. At the time I didn't even realize I was requesting to read the arc. That being said omg I loved every moment of this book. I'm not a person who usually will read these dark books. Honestly though this book had so much depth to the story. At any given moment you had no idea what was coming. And at first I did think it was strange that Tyler would let this stranger come in her house and do the things he did. But I believe subconsciously she new who he was. That's why she was never fearful. I think my absolute favorite thing about this book though was Jeremy I loved there relationship. I'm American so yes I am looking up twiglets maybe I will order some online. Dean was a very unique character he gives you a glimpse of his tender side. And how cold and vicious he can be. But I did love him regardless of the hatefullness he would spew. I think he was just so damaged he needed to blame anybody for the hand he was dealt. I don't even think he knew that he was so wrong about everything. I'm so glad and thankful for this arc and this is my honest review. Now on to the next book.

Lost Wishes by Kelly GendronMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wow I'm truly overwhelmed this story made you feel and hate at the same time. Fallon was a man who pretty much had everything and lost it all when his wife was murdered. She was the only woman he ever loved. He couldn't or wouldn't allow anyone to get close to him. He was truly a damaged man it completely broke him. But revenge is what he's after now. Katie has no sympathy for anyone and that's why she thinks she is perfect for what her boss needs her to do. She's been let down so many times in her life the only man she ever wanted to love her never did he treated her as if she was a curse and she should have died. But she finds herself in a predicament. Fallon has a stowaway and this woman is absolutely beautiful and fiesty she doesn't cowar to the big bad Fallon like everyone else. But she brings feelings that he's not used to. Honestly this story was heartbreaking but beautiful at the same time. What Fallon went through and Twigs is the only thing that has kept him somewhat human. I truly believe that sometimes in life people were put there for a reason. It's destiny and you can fight or deny those things for so long but in the end you either except or move on. I read this book as an arc from netgally. Thank you for letting me review netgalley.com and the publisher. This was the fifth book in the series but it was truly a captivating story and no confusion going in. I will go back now and read those though because this author did an amazing job.

This was my favorite I loved it so much the hurt Kari went through and watching her grow and open up to things in life. I think she knew what was coming and was already preparing herself and not even realizing it. Her friends were amazing and her brother warmed my heart.

Beautiful Collision by Toni VallanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I am going to start this review off first saying I loved the story. At the same time it was a very confusing book. Gray is a survivor in all aspects of the word. She's pretty much been alone for awhile except for her Satan brother Anthony. Who for some ungodly reason hates her or it appears that way. But she starts over she's very smart just not bright enough to achieve what she needs to but soon a Beautiful Collision opens her eyes to things. Thane for one he is amazing and protective. I am so excited for the next book this author keeps you guessing almost until the end trying to figure everything out. Sadly will he be able to save the ones he needs or loose what hasn't even started yet. Thank you for letting me review netgalley.com and the publisher.

Sweet as Sin by J.T. GeissingerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This story was brilliant from the first page I was so consumed. The feels the struggles these characters went through were honestly so touching. Nicco ahhhhhhhh the man was everything you want and need in a man. He had compassion and tenderness. But a hot demanding side that had you melting completely. Kat was a beautiful woman who tried very hard to fight against what she wanted most which who would not want Nicco. There's tons of stuff that happens but everything is extremely important to understand the whole story. At times your scratching your head saying oh my goodness did that really happen. This is my first book by this author and definitely will not be my last I hope everyone reads this phenomenal book. Thank you netgalley.com and montlake publishing for letting me review.

Sacrifice by Adriana LockeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
If I could actually give this book a million stars I would!!!!!!!
I have been touched by alot of books but not alot make me cry. I can probably count on both my hands how many times this has happened but never have I cried in a book this much. And not all are sad tears. The emotional journey that this book gives you is a cleansing feeling in it self. To know the struggles and strength these characters have pulls at your heart. Anytime a child is involved of course you will feel more. But you just don't understand what I'm saying until you read this book. At first glance I was confused at the events that took place because I had to read to understand it all. I know I'm talking in code but honestly if I say anymore it will give it away. Crew is a man I mean a real man somebody who excepts what is on the table and takes care of the ones he loves. And trust me when I say that man loves fiercely. Julia is a woman who loves just as hard but has been dealt with alot to handle so the most important thing in her life is Everleigh. Julia is Ever's mom she is a widow she doesn't have anyone who cares about her. The closest thing to family she has is her brother in law. Her mom and dad are around but not really anything you would want your daughter to be attached to. She works two jobs to pay the bills trying to take care of her little family. This story sends a message that you should enjoy everyday you have because life's to short to not live for tomorrow. I know we question God about why but sometimes its just supposed to be the way it is. I loved this book for multiple reasons.
1) it has depth
2) it's emotional
3) it feels real
4) these things happen
5) Sacrifice
6) Simple Man
Honestly I could go on forever about the multiple things in this story because they are so touching. I love books that have the capacity to open your eyes to things that are real. And sometimes in life you have more than one love maybe an in between. Every ones life is different but in the end its what your willing to sacrifice for the ones you love. The willingness to make sure that no matter what you've made a path that everyone will be OK. I have followed this author since the beginning and the growth of her writing is astonishing I'm beyond blown away by this book. I want to thank the author for allowing me to read for an honest review. Reviewing for Night and Day book blog http://ndbbr2014.com Stephanie Powell

10 Years Later by J. SterlingMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Five amazing Sweet Stars this was such a great story. We've all been there wondering about that first love or high school crush. But to have a second chance and make it count this time Dalton was an amazing character. I loved how he was determined to get her back and never give up. Cammie was a bit stubborn at times but honestly who can blame her for all she had been through. These two should have opened up in high school but they were young and not experienced enough with their feelings. And not fully understanding what each wanted in the relationship between them. Alot of misunderstanding but can they get back what they once had or is 10 years to long. I truly love this author she's amazing and the characters that come to her head feel real. That's why its so easy to connect with her books and I would love for this series to continue just saying #HELLO Tucker and Kristy would be perfect together.

Love Surfaced by Michelle LynnMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I've known this author for along time she's pretty special to me. When she released her first book she was so nervous we were pm each other on Facebook. And I have to say I am a huge fan but I consider her a friend. With that said I loved everything about this story it was very unique and different. They both did annoy me lol. But that's OK because those are the books that have you drawn to the characters. The chemistry between both of them was amazing. I really wanted to be her honestly this guy was perfect and loyal. I only wish he would have told her but I understand why he didn't. I do believe she acted bratty at times but she had low self-esteem. Not that she should have had it. And the family was perfect and friendships. So we meet her and she has always had a crush on her brothers best friend but he wasn't always so nice to her. Plus she knew it would never be excepted by her brother so she just pretends he doesn't affect her. But he has other plans he has secretly carried a torch for her but knowing that the brother wouldn't approve he kept his distance. Until he just can't do it anymore he admits how much she means to him. Let's just say these two together is like a volcano irrupting. Well it all seems like its going great until one lie messes up everything. Can these two find there way back to each other or is it possible it's to late. Only time will tell but they both are having a difficult time being around each other. Take a chance and read this book you won't regret it. And Michelle Lynn is an author that loves fans and will take the opportunity to get to know you. She also is very supportive to everyone especially me. Thanks sweets for letting me review another amazing story. Love you

The Sterling Boys by C.M. OwensMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved everything about this book what a heartbreaking thing to go through for Rain which I love that name by the way. This story is about young love but miscommunication plays a part in this book. Two people are hurt not understanding why the other one acted the way they did. Rain to me is such a phenomenal woman who is simply so giving and caring it's impossible for you not to love her. Kode this guy could have anyone but his heart only belongs to one and he gave it to her when he was 13. Not understanding what happened he decides that he's going to be back in her life one way or another. But he at first goes about it all wrong or is it. You get to see some of the characters you love so much in this series and they all are amazing. I freaking love the brothers I can't wait to get there books.
Kade's Game by C.M. OwensMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved this story better than the first one which was Raya's pov. But Kade's pov made me understand the story even more. Kade's was actually a great guy he really wanted a relationship with Raya so bad but really wasn't sure how to approach it. I thought the things he did the way he always put her needs first he was so protective of her. But he definitely had walls they did lack communication which was there only downfall. But loved his pov.

Naughty King by Michelle A. ValentineMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I have been reading love stories so much lately I've been getting bored but this book was just what the Doctor ordered. Freaking brilliant such an awesome pair Alexander is such an ass but the sarcastic kind that you just can't believe he would do the things he does but it's addicting. Margo the fiesty princess is this girl with an attitude who doesn't fold for anyone not even the king. Trust me when I say you get to see these two go at it in more ways than one. There chemistry is hot and undeniable. Oh of course neither wants to admit defeat and fall for each other but even the strongest will cave. Margo is a brilliant young woman trying to help her dad out because this is her legacy. And she knows that she will stop at nothing to get this cocky basturd to fall to his knees. Only that's going to be hard (literally) because the king (Alexander) Doesn't fall for anyone they fall for him. But he knows Margo and her father are up to something so he will be the crude ass and make her quit only she gets to him but he's not caving. So the tension between them is intense and neither one of them back down. That's why I love these characters there phenomenal. There not weak at all well maybe sometimes weak in some things (hymm) So fast forward and they are meeting an investor in Vegas for the weekend. Yamada loved him. Anyways Margo is going to try to talk to him about everything. But let's just say this things don't always go as planned. I loved the ending in this book. This book had angst from the start. Strong characters, sarcastic, it was perfect so get ready to read this book your going to love it no lie. Reading this arc for an honest review thank you Michelle Valentine can't wait for more. I will be posting more on my blog ndbbr2014.com

Filthy Beautiful Love by Kendall RyanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
So I freaking loved this book the story had meaning I was so shocked at the ending not sure where this could go from here. But as we start book 2 Sophie and Becca take a trip to Rome because she still feels her sister deserves everything. The plan to save Beccas life seems to be working the treatment has brought her sister back and hopefully she will live a long life. She also feels betrayed she was willing to give him everything she had and doesn't understand how he could have not told her. She also realizes she has obligations but she can't do that it goes against everything she stands for. Yes I know it's weird but yes the beautiful girl does have a point. Only she doesn't understand everything and needs to hear him out. So he suprises her with a trip to Rome because she is avoiding him. Do I blame her not at all. Colton and Pace show up and Becca has been captivated by Pace so they all venture out to have lunch. And sightsee but Colton uses this time to get Sophie to listen. Only to much has been done she doesn't think she can trust him again but her heart wants to but her head is saying no. Move forward and Sophie takes some much needed time to figure things out her life seems to be working except for the missing piece of her heart that Colton owns. But her sister is doing amazing and she's her hero because she beat that battle and then she feels guilty for not even letting him explain. Colton is a very determined man Sophie is his and he will stop at nothing to have her. She just needs to understand what is going on. He sets a plan in motion but can all be forgotten. Will Becca continue to stay on her path of staying healthy it looks promising. By the end of this book I was not expecting that at all. What I love about this author is her ability to not make a book or story predictable. So many different types of books are like that but she keeps you guessing and then throws in a shock factor to the mix. Definitely adding this to that recommended list well really you have to because you won't know what happens if you don't read both books. ndbbr2014.com brilliance with the conclusion of this book.

Dominic: The Prince by M.J. FieldsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was freaking amazing out of this world I think I have a new favorite book from this author. When you created Dominic you made him perfect in every aspect. He's dominant but in such a great way. His need to protect the ones he loves is truly remarkable. Laney she's vulnerable in every way and has been mistreated most of her life by a tragic event that she lost her other half. Only she shares with nobody the darkness that lies in her and how she feels her life has no meaning. Until one night her luck changes by chance she meets the mystery man the Italian beast. Gahhh what a beautiful man he calls her ladybug from there first night you see the walls start falling from both of them they let each other in. We learn secrets about them nobody knows the trust they have for each other is hard to explain. Because they aren't even sure they get it. But Dominic will stop at nothing to make sure she's his. But as the story continues you learn more about heartbreak. This family sticks together and with the support of them all they will take down an army because that's who they are. But choices are made and and Laney starts questioning herself did she trust to quickly is he worth the shattered heart she knows that is coming. Go on this journey and meet my Dominic because you yourself will fall in love with this Italian beast. Can't wait for the next book it was perfect. You did a phenomenal job Mj fields

Famous by Kahlen AymesMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a unique and different story I found that I was fascinated with the concept of the story. If you were a fan of Ryan and Julia in the remembrance series you will absolutely love this book. We meet Cade and Brook who are actor's and they are portraying the parts in the first movie for the remembrance series. Cade has been acting since he was 12 and has a name for himself also has tons of fans. But when he meets Brook he is kinda lost in her and they have a unspeakable bond. Brook is just starting in acting this is her first film. As time goes by they aren't sure what's going on their feelings for each other are overwhelming. They spend alot of time together so Brook isn't sure if it's them feeling the connection because of the love story they are acting in. Cade knows what he feels is real but there's a problem she's taken already spoken for. So he will take what he can get with her he won't force her to choose between him and David but will give all the support she needs. (intermission) Wow you have no idea how this book makes you feel the connection between these two is magnificent. It's almost magical I wish I had met a Cade when I was young he is the definition of perfect male. He's brittish did I mention that oh and he's gorgeous. And the freaking things he does I am in love with this character. OK back to the review sorry lol
So things happen and some how there is a miscommunication between them. Needless to say our girl tried to call and explain but damage was done. So she is determined to make sure he understands but is it possible to right a wrong. She's been hurt and now he's stuck trying to explain but in the end they finally connect. But can it be that easy to just go and be together with no obstacles in the way. No never because life doesn't come easy that way. Come and embark on this journey with Cade and Brook and see the secrets and being hurt come to life. Watch as they try to fight for each other only to learn that it's not gonna be easy. Honestly I am so excited about this series it embraces a truly beautiful love story with deep emotions. The connection and chemistry between them is breathtaking. I am a fan of this author and have been since the remembrance series so take a chance and fall in love with this story.

Shaken, Not Stirred by Sawyer BennettMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Tenn is all I can say gahhh this man!!!!!
This is a series but each book can be read as a standalone. What I love about this book is you get to catch up on everyone's life in this series. Sawyer Bennett is an amazing author I don't think I have ever read one of her books and been disappointed. But this was awesome I loved getting the story behind Casey and what made her turn against love. To see this young woman do what she did was pretty genius if you ask me. But honestly I wanted more for her and she had a heart of gold. The ones she did let in and loved it was real loyalty. So to speak about the book well Casey has a rule when going out with men an it's simple. No strings attached and because of this rule she's kinda badass to me. Because she's like a freaking guy cut them loose before they get to attached but there's always a few that claim love. But nope our girl is hardcore. Until she meets this badboy biker with a naughty mouth and let's just be honest who wouldn't want this man. But he pushes Casey in the right way never forcing her to believe bullshit. But there's always opsticals in the way and ex's that want to still have a say. But also tragedy strikes but man Casey steps up to everything and is willing to fight. Only can they make this work or can she truly open herself up and admit she can let love in. Well I refuse to tell you lol because I hate spoilers but I freaking loved this story. Thank you for another amazing book Sawyer Bennett can't wait to read more from you.

Lighter by Gia RileyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The words to describe this story is so hard simply because it's a phenomenal story. I was swept away by the depth of Sophie this poor girl was dealt a horrible hand in life. She lives with her dad and mom but her Dad is hateful to her treating her as if she's nothing. Her mom was a gymnyst so Sophie wanted to have her mother proud of her and get any attention she could. But as Sophie got older the hatred from her father only increased. She met someone who she thought understood her somebody that could possibly love her. But Blaine was just deceiving her the whole time. So she decided then in order to make her mother proud and prove to everyone that she was worth something she gets a scholarship to the school she's been dying to go to. Coach Evans is an amazing coach and she realizes he can get her to be her best. But she meets her roommate who is Cara and a friendship blossoms. But what she didn't expect is Kipton to be added in her world and the connection between them is amazing. That's all I'm saying about the actual story cause I hate spoilers. But this book was beautifully written it has so many messages in the story. I am thrilled about this series continuing. I for one understand how you feel when you're in a situation like this granted mine wasn't exactly the same but my mom married abusive men. It's really a thing that messes with the mind you question yourself many times trying to figure out" if you are good enough". Since your constantly told no your not" go stay there so he doesn't get mad". Well you get the gist of what I'm saying but also ask yourself this do you ever look in the mirror and except what you see or do you picture yourself in a complete different way from what other people tell you. Thank you Gia Riley for hitting topics in this story that needs to be faced these are real issues and I enjoyed it so much.

Hero by Samantha YoungMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book had a little of everything. I laughed so much out loud my family was looking at me as if I had lost my mind. Also the freaking chemistry the feelings you get when two people ignite was amazing. So many different things about this book to say mystery was definitely there. Lexie was a young woman who had been through a lot but never did she think she would find herself looking into those eyes. And Caine just want to say he is MINE OK. This man pretty much struggle to come up after everything he had been dealt in life. He was one powerful man and didn't hurt he was freaking hot. But this story had the ability to make you confused about what was going on and I am not saying that in a bad way its where the mystery part came into play. I would also love to see another story from this book I want to hear Effie talk and maybe she can live the rest of her life with grandpa. I know he did things to protect his family name but he for me was so special I loved the bond him and Lexie created. Even though he did what he did he loved her. Really great story thank you netgally and the publisher for letting me review.

Bring Me You by Ryleigh AndrewsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This story was amazing I really enjoyed it but there was one thing that I didn't and it's just me. I am not a fan of a story when it has a narrator feel. I still got dual pov's but it had a vibe about it. But other than that I loved the story it really drew you in to the characters.
Mia was this beautiful caring person and not selfish at all. I kept asking myself why is she moving on without Luke they had chemistry from the first time I read about them together. And kaitlyn she loves that little girl so much. But then she meets Eathan and I have a love/hate relationship with him. On one hand I can't forgive him for not seeing or doing what he did. To me he was selfish and never really put her first. When she was so weak and honestly he seen that. He can't act like he didn't it's infuriating because again I love him when he was around her he was perfect. But he should have seen the signs. To me he is the reason for all of this and no she is still keeping the past from him. But he hasn't even been completely honest with her. Seriously I was so shocked at what he did then when he finally got his balls back and did what he should have done to begin with he judges her. No not right at all Mia deserves somebody to appreciate her and to know her it doesn't matter what he didn't know she kept telling him she needed him. So at this moment I can only hope that she moves on to someone else. Even Luke he screwed with her mind anybody would have self-doubt even without the parent issue. I don't blame Mia at all she got swept away in the darkness and nobody saved her he should have been there. OK if I continue then I will give away spoilers and I am trying not to. But overall I am very excited to see what happens I believe she deserves the world. And this is a debut for this author so good like I said only issue is that narrator vibe which is why I can't give it a 5 stars.(this was before lol) Because most of the book had that feeling until you get towards 30% left in the book. Then in felt more like them speaking but you still could tell but not as much. But the writing itself is really great. So here I am back 24 hours later because I have done nothing but think about this book. What does that mean well simple I am changing my 4 stars to 5 the reason because its still affecting me. I listened to the playlist this morning every song made me want to be there for Mia.

Love Hurts by Mandi BeckMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Omg you have no freaking idea what you are instored for this book is so full of angst. "You feel me" Mandi did a phenomenal job she is a brilliant writer!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so blown away by this debut Mandi is a phenomenal writer. So let's talk about my man yes he is mine!!!!! #SORRYNOTSORRY anyways Deacon wow he is simply all alpha. And did I mention he is a MMA FIGHTER well he is and imagine how hot he is tattoos and all. The way he protects is so unbelievable he has this bad boy era about him which don't get me wrong he is kinda a player. But he is ready to claim what is his and change his ways. He's waited so long for this and then the unthinkable happens and he has to lay his heart on the line. You have no idea how much he does I swear he is completely devoted to this person but at the same time devastated.
Let's talk about Frankie I kinda have a love/hate relationship with her. I believe that she is amazing but she's scared and also a protector. But she's vulnerable at the time and honestly I was freaking pissed. This book is full of angst ahhhhhhhh if you love it like me please take a chance on this new author who happens to also be a friend of mine. It's a solid 5 stars for me she kept you on the edge not knowing what was going on. It felt real that's what I loved about it. I could see this in real life playing out. OK let me end it with this
"YOU FEEL ME "
" IT'S MINE"
"LET ME DIRTY THAT UP"
"I DON'T SHARE "

Her Unexpected Hero by Melody AnneMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love this author she was my third author that captured my heart when I started reading. I will always be partial to Joseph lol. Kinda have a crush I'm sorry Katherine. But anyways if you have ever just wanted to sit down and read a beautiful story pick up this authors work. Just like all the rest there is a chance encounter but this time they had already met and let's just say got really familiar with each other. It was only one night right? What's the chances they would ever see each other again. Her whole world had changed completely the secrets she held but she was finally putting her life back together. Until the gang decided they wanted her to meet him. But little did they know he knew exactly who she was. And she knew him to. But he wasn't done but by no means was she caving to him. This was a story about two people who had been really hurt by others but learn to trust each other. It takes him awhile to get her to talk to him but he can be pretty demanding. Once everything is out can they except what happened or take blame for each other's actions. Please read this story again I will always read this authors work love her writing and can't wait for more. Thank you for letting me review netgally and the publisher. Will post on my blog when book releases.

Beneath, You're Beautiful by Tori MadisonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Put my review together for this breathtaking book words can't describe the feels this book gives you. I can't wait for everyone to read it and continue Victoria's journey
This was a continuation to Victoria's journey. And let me tell you it was a beautiful one. This series embraces things in life that we sometimes over look. Victoria is one of the strongest woman I have ever seen. Everything this woman has been through and the beauty she shows is simply phenomenal. So from the beginning to end of book one we watch her fight the C word. But not only that she deals with so much more then most people could handle. If I could pick one fictional character to be my best friend it would be Victoria. And I would also want to be apart of her amazing friends she has these girls define true beauty. At the end of book one were left with omg are you kidding me please accept the offer. So book two begins with a new start of her life and yes her journey is still in full affect. But only she takes the offer and the chemistry between these two and the connection between them is so real. They start off pretty strong of course she is still struggling with everything but she's starting to see the light and the beauty inside herself. She still has this unbelievable support system that we could only dream about having if we ever had to go through anything like this. Bobbie-jo who is just this crazy but beautiful person inside and out. Jen who will fight any battle for you she can. And Dana who just let's you vent no judgment but great advice. I was blown away by these woman who are simply amazing. Jillian what can I say about the courage of this woman who I am sure would do anything for anybody. Along the way something tragic happens that has her questioning everything and everyone in her life. I completely understand why she felt the way she did even though I wanted to hurt my best friend Victoria and say no please don't hesitate now. But she takes some time to evaluate what's right for her and she gets some valuable advice from another character in this book who will make you want to just live and enjoy everything that life gives us. No matter what the struggles or non hea it doesn't matter. Because we all are given a chance to take a journey in life. It's ultimately up to you to decide how that journey goes. I am a huge fan of this author and consider her a friend for life. I am truly blessed to have her in my life. And her knowledge of breast cancer will be with me forever. You Tori Madison are my hero your a survivor but no matter what I will always be aware of what to look for because you gave me that gift that I will treasure forever.

Breaking Ryann by Alyssa Rae TaylorMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
All I can say is ahhhhhhhh I freaking loved it so much. I'm working on my review will post tomorrow I'm huge fan of this author and this series.
This was by far one of my favorite series I felt like I waited an eternity for these books but they were worth the wait. Luke is just an amazing sexy man. There is no other way to describe him. Reece this poor girl has been through the ringer but omg does she make you proud. The growth this character shows is absolutely amazing. Luke knows what he wants and he will do it one way or another. Reece is hurting still and honestly if you have read the other books which by the way you definitely should then you can understand why she's still so devastated. But this book offers mystery, suspense, comedy, sexual tension. Sometimes in a book things can be dragged out like sex. This series is the perfect example of how much intensity and build up can make you feel. I loved watching the almost happen. This story gives you hope also take advantage of getting into a self defense class with your daughter or friends. We all need to know these things I loved the way it all ended and can't wait to read more from this amazing woman. Reviewing for Night and Day book blog http://ndbbr2014.com Stephanie Powell
