Mile High - R.K. Lilley

Mile High (Up In The Air, #2)Mile High by R.K. Lilley

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Even though the book got a little slow in the middle it took a few turns I really didn't expect!
James Cavendish loves Bianca. It's so obvious to everyone but her because he hasn't said the words. To say the least Bianca's dad royally screwed her up! I still love the fact she hasn't taken advantage of his money and status. She is trying to be herself and not lose herself in his "stuff". Granted, when they are together she loses herself, but not her friends, her job or her own wants. I love how he is offering her the world and she wants just him. I do wish she would open up more. I know in the last book she will, but the whole new turn of events I hope it doesn't shut her down, but make her stronger.
Oh Stephan!! I'm so glad you have found someone to make you happy. You have been protecting Bianca for so long that you need your happy ever after!! Yay!!!!

In Flight - R.K. Lilley

In Flight (Up In The Air, #1)In Flight by R.K. Lilley

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Ahhh what an intense ending!!! Holy cow! Bianca is one strong lady! She can definitely hold her own. Her and Stephan are so sweet. I still have so many questions for Mr Cavendish! Really! That Jules woman was so a cold bitch. Why didn't he be up front with Bianca about his celebrity status and why he wanted to keep their relationship secret? Bianca has shared so much more with him than he has. I know he apparently has shared a lot too, but he has been digging and has the resources to find out info on Bianca and has gotten her in trouble with her father. I'm not exactly sure why Bianca didn't tell the truth about her father from the very beginning unless he's been threatening her since then.
This epilogue was wow. Not a huge cliffhanger, but a good one. I'm glad the 2nd book is already out and i don't have to wait, but wow! An esoteric writer--I can't wait to read more from this author!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This one took me a while to get in to. I don't know why. All the Hot Bunch guys are hot...but maybe since I'm not much of a music rock n roll fan - I didn't get the references. Still at like 65% I couldn't put it down--definitely got intense! Mace and Stella :) I also don't know if I like they jumped ahead 5 years!!

Rock Chick Rescue - Kristen Ashley

Rock Chick Rescue (Rock Chick, #2)Rock Chick Rescue by Kristen Ashley

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


These stories def keep you on our toes!! Can't put the books down. There is always drama or great love scenes. Jet and Eddie ... Wow! Jet just didn't get it - man her dad did a number on her self esteem! Eddie was a super nice guy wanting to protect her and jet was a hard headed rock chick wanting no help and doing it all herself. I love how everyone had her back even though she was new! Ally and Indy are awesome! I want them as bffs!

Rock Chick (Rock Chick, #1)Rock Chick by Kristen Ashley

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


What can I say? I love KA! She is brilliant!! I get sucked in such time!! There is never a dull moment with Indy! She has her own hrs on her shoulders and doesn't take orders! I love that!! Oh Lee--ahhh always the protector. I'd be pretty hurt though if I loved him since I was five and he returned it, but told her he thought of her as a sister. Ouch! I hope they have babies in the future!!

Beneath This Man - Jodi Ellen Malpas

Beneath This Man (This Man, #2)Beneath This Man by Jodi Ellen Malpas

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I am a bigger fan of jesses now because of the ending, but I was very wary throughout the whole book. He did a lot of stupid things and I kept having to remind myself he never had a relationship or family to care and was kind of thrown into that life. I'm not a huge fan of the sex club. I could have done without the communal room scenes. It kind of made my stomach churn...I just think its wrong on so many levels...but again--it's just not my cup of tea. Jesse seemed to redeem himself with the dinner party and his 2nd proposal. That was so thoughtful.
Sarah on the other hand can seriously go jump off a cliff. I can't wait to see what happens to her once he takes care of her for texting Ava. I also wanna know more about John! He's awesome!! Also Kate and Sam's relationship!! There is still so much-- Ava's career...if she's preggo. Etc!

This Man - Jodi Ellen Malpas

This Man (This Man, #1)This Man by Jodi Ellen Malpas

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


3.5 stars. I'll have to say I was pretty bored through this book until the end. My heart was hammering out of my chest. I'm still in shock as well and am not sure what to think about all of it. I def couldn't get passed his lifestyle. Especially if he was still living it. Crazyyyyy!!! I will def be reading the next book! I really disliked the slang. Half the time I didn't know what they were saying...took me longer to read

Beautiful Disaster - Jamie McGuire

Beautiful Disaster (Beautiful, #1)Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


5 million stars!!! What an emotional roller coaster!! I love how alpha Travis is but yet Abby still had a backbone. She didn't let him dictate her. I was pretty disgusted a few times with Travis' sexcapades. All in all I want more of Travis and Abby!!!

"I knew the second I met you that there was something about you I needed. Turns out it wasn’t something about you at all. It was just you."---Travis

“I'm not your anything," I snapped, glaring up at him. His eyebrows pulled in and he stopped dancing. "You're my everything.” ---Travis

“You know why I want you? I didn’t know I was lost until you found me. I didn’t know what alone was until the first night I spent without you in my bed. You’re the one thing I’ve got right. You’re what I’ve been waiting for, Pigeon.” ----Travis

Reckless -SC Stephens

Reckless (Thoughtless, #3)Reckless by S.C. Stephens

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Finally finished! Loved this book. My favorite out of the trilogy. I had a reallllly tough time with the first and half of the second book. I'm glad I pushed through and finished. I really loved how dedicated Kellan was to Keira. He included her in everything. He didn't make her feel she was ever in the way. He always wanted her by his side. During meetings, rehearsals, video shoots, interviews. She grew up a lot when their relationship blossomed. I like her wayyyy better in this book. She didn't seem whiny or needy as much. She was strong through all of the hate and the rumors. I also LOVE her and Denny's relationship. It's so unique. I don't know if I could trust like Abby and Kellan - but apparently you could see the friendship and not the connection.
I'd like to know what happened to sienna and why she was the way she was. I know they touched on her being in love once but idk...I'd be interested to see how that would play out. Anyway--I really enjoyed kella and Keira and the D-bags - but I feel a little overwhelmed after a week and a half of nothing but them. (It took me nearly a week to get thru the first book) which is so not like me. Anyway the series gets a 5 star! :)

Effortless - SC Stephens

Effortless (Thoughtless, #2)Effortless by S.C. Stephens

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Crazy run of emotions towards the end. I really didn't think he would be faithful either! I knew he loved her...but 4 months without sex for a guy who had 3-4 girls a week is a long time! I am so glad they got thru it. I didn't understand the holding back Denny was in town as well as kellan not telling her about his dad and sister. I mean I get to a degree...but for 4 months?? That's a long time not to share! Anyway--what a wonderful waive of emotions!! Great book! (Slow start but great finish)

Claim Me - J. Kennner

Claim Me (Stark Trilogy, #2)Claim Me by J. Kenner

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


So excited!! Just received my ARC!!
"ARC provided by Random House Publishing Group-Bantam Dell via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review"

What can I say?? Wow! Wow! Wow! Ok so the first 30% I was wondering where this story was going and it seemed like a never ending sex scene. Finally it picked up - and that's the reason for the 5+++ stars! This author is amazing. I feel what she is portraying!
Nikki and Damien's love - wow! Damien is one hard core person to break. He has been through so much - we don't even know the half of it. I wished we had more answers - but I'm so happy this book wasnt a HUGE cliffhanger. Yes, there is def more to the story - like what happened with Jamie, what will happen with Ollie - does he really love Nikki like Damien suspects? (view spoiler)[Will Damien be charged for murder? (hide spoiler)] Will the truth ever really come out?
I really like Nikki. She does speak her mind, she doesn't hide from Damien. He has truly brought her out of her shell. She can face things. I really like seeing the progression in her character. Ollie pisses me off. He had the chance to be with Nikki a long time ago, doesn't take it. (view spoiler)[Sleeps with Jamie while he's engaged. He breaks attorney client privilege even if it is for good reason, but hell. (hide spoiler)] Courtney deserves better. He needs to be fired. All the approaches he could have taken with Nikki or Damien for that matter could have been better. .
Jamie - she sleeps with guys so she has no emotional ties - but gets tangled up with the actor who only wants to get ahead. Man, Evelyn calls em as she sees them! I really hope Jamie has a HEA! She deserves it. I also love her an Nikki's banter. They tell each other like it is. They don't step on egg shells around each other. I love that. They tell each other when they are screwing it up.
Evelyn- love!!! She does have an inside on Damien but is a good friend and urges Nikki to trust him. (view spoiler)[I also want to know who told the press about the painting. My money is on Gisselle. (hide spoiler)] I don't like her! She's so smug. She wants Damien and maybe that's just why I don't like her. I also don't trust her. She was pretty absent tho after Nikki was fired. Also, who is Lisa? She wants to be niks friend, but we don't hear much from her yet!!
So back to Damien and Nikki. Damien has made Nikki be so reliant on him, that through out the book it seems like he didn't need her as much as she needed him. But on the contrary, he made her feel that way bc he was too selfish to let her go. You can see the desire in his eyes and how thoughtful he is. It does worry me. Can he be monogamous? The whole time I was thinking she was going to catch him in the act or just finishing with some one else. I knew he cared about her...but still I'm glad he didn't! I can't wait for the next book! I hope there is some sort of spin off series or something! Idk if I can get over Damien and Nikki without more!
There are probably several more scenes we can pick apart--but I won't! Such a fantastic book!!

Release Me - J. Kenner

Release Me (Stark Trilogy, #1)Release Me by J. Kenner

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I really enjoyed this book even though it left me with more questions than answers. Not a huge cliffhanger at all-but I still don't know much about Damien. Nikki and Damien's relationship wasn't by any means conventional. I see some of the similarities between fifty, but I'm not a big fan of people comparing books. It's been a while since I've read fifty, but just because he's a billionaire and it has some sex scenes doesn't mean it's another fifty. Anyway - Damien has a dark past and who can understand him better than a girl with a dark past. She totally gets him. She has her issues with her mother while he has his with his father. Unfortunately, we don't know what that is yet--so I can't wait to read the next book!!

Thoughtless SC Stephens

Thoughtless (Thoughtless, #1)Thoughtless by S.C. Stephens

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Wow! I really struggled with this book...I heard awesome things about it and I was STRUGGLING to get through this book. Keira was soooo irritating with her whining and indecisiveness. Did she really think she was going to have a happily ever after with both guys?? I feel like 300 pages could have been taken out and I still would have gotten the gist of the book. I really liked Kellan and the D-Bags and I think that's why it got 3 stars and not 2. I only kept reading because of Kellan. I wanted to find out what his deeper issues were. I just don't see how this is a 3 part series. I'm only reading the 2nd book because I was told that I would LOVE it ... And if I don't, I'm honestly thinking of getting new book friends :)

Perfection RL Mathewson

Perfection (A Neighbor from Hell, #2)Perfection by R.L. Mathewson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Not sure why I waited so long to read this!!! Trevor!! Yummmmm!! Loved this light story! I could really relate to Zoe with her packing extra weight. She had a lot thicker skin than I would have thought. Listening to Trevor's friends calling her fat. I hated he didn't defend her in the beginning, but later he sure made up for it. Kind of funny how much the Bradford men could eat as well as being banned from restaurants lol!

Code Red by Amy Noelle

Code RedCode Red by Amy Noelle

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


5 BEAUTIFUL HOTT stars! Wow! I'm having a hard time putting this book into words. Code Red seemed good in theory, but you have to take a chance on love. Nic didn't want to take that chance after she had a bad break up with Damian. He ruined her. I can totally relate! She didn't guard her heart and it got crushed - now she had the Great Wall of China up. She took the guarding her heart a little to the extreme, but again I can relate. It's easier to have mindless sex, than to put yourself out there to get your heart broken. Nic was also hilarious. I did laugh out loud a few times or nod and grin.

Oh Josh Daniels....YUMMMM not sure how else to describe him! He was confident, sexy, smart, loving, considerate - a total red flag! Honestly, I thought the author was going to screw her over...I thought he had a gf or was gay when he decided to put their sex life on hold...but that made me love him more!! He knew about her past so he handled her with care. Amazing! He was so considerate, but not overly. He protected her, was possessive but not too possessive and taught her how to date, and grow and trust. He was always so patient with her.
I also adored her friends! They were so real and always there for her. When you are a mom or have a husband it's hard to drop everything for your single friends, and yet hers did! :) LOVE!
I will totally read this again. Nic did get on my nerves a little with talking to her gf's about him, but I think Amy hit the nail on the head..us girls do that! We obsess over everything especially if we are so into the guy!
**I really hope Jen and Ryan have a story!
