James (Resisting Love #3) by Chantal Fernando

Goodreads Blurb: 

James Steele leads a complicated life, a life that makes it hard to get close to people. James’ secrets caused him to lose the woman of his dreams, Sasha Crawford. James has now moved on with Tatiana, a lovely woman whom he works with, someone who understands his reasons for secrecy. When Sasha comes back into the picture James will have to make a decision. Will he stay with Tatiana, a woman he has grown to care for? Or step up with explanations for Sasha, the woman he can’t seem to stop wanting?

Sasha, a foolish romantic, had thought she had found the love of her life in the sexy James Steele. That was, until she saw him in the arms of another woman. Heartbroken and betrayed, Sasha now had a new take on romance, using dating and men as a way to get over the pain of losing James. When their paths cross again and James now has a new woman, how will she react? Will she let go of all the hurt and anger, and move on? Demand answers? Or lay her cards down, and fight to win back the man that was once her everything?

Misbehaving (Sea Breeze #6) by Abbi Glines

Goodreads Blurb: 

An unexpected affair leads to mind-blowing harmony in this Sea Breeze novel from New York Times bestselling author Abbi Glines. 

Jason is sick of living in his rock star brother’s shadow. So when he ships off to Sea Breeze, Alabama, he’s looking for a much deserved escape and a chance to blow off some envious steam. Falling for the local bad girl was definitely not the plan. But as the new duo enjoys some naughty fun in the Alabama sun, Jason learns that even though Jax is the musician in the family, he’s not the only brother who can rock someone’s world.

My Review: 

Absolutely LOVED it! Jess and Jason are definitely my new favorite couple! I adore Jess's spunk and how she's so full of life and is just down to earth even though her situation is much different than the other characters Abbi usually writes.

Secret Life (RVHS #2) by Bria Quinlan

Goodreads Blurb: 

Rachel Wells is a liar—big time. No one outside her family knows about the panic attacks or meds, the weekly therapy drive-bys or the “safe” outfit. If she could hide it all from her string of ex-boyfriends and her best friend Amy, then why should anything change? But, when the one guy as messed up as she is blackmails her into helping him, life goes from closely restrained to out of control.

Sometimes choosing between sanity and love is the craziest thing of all.

My Review: 

Loved it!
It was such a heartfelt emotional ride reading Rachel's story. I didn't particularly like Chris in book one so I was a bit skeptic reading this when I saw that Chris was gonna be the main guy. But he has definitely grown in me. I loved reading his situation and seeing him as a good guy behind the public eye and how one of the moral of the story is that nothing is ever what it seems. It's definitely a good advice to take in. But another character that stood out for me was BEN! Definitely one of the funniest character in the novel. I hope we get to read his story and find out more about this mystery girl his into. :-)

Goodreads Blurb: 

Life as a teenager is never easy. But for Natalee Murray, things have just gotten way more difficult. Bored with life, she can't wait to graduate high school and get out of town, especially considering the famous band members from AD2 suddenly start attending her school, making her once boring life, absolutely insane.

Three Years Later (In Too Deep #1) by Casey McMillin

Goodreads Blurb: 

The last thing Rachel Coleman wanted to do the summer before her senior year was go on a family vacation to Disneyland. The first thing she did when she got there, however, was run headlong into her happily ever after. Unfortunately for her, the guy was way out of her league.

Collin Blake, along with the rest of his college swim team, was just visiting Los Angeles for a few days. It was something the U Cal swimmers did every year. Falling in love definitely wasn't on his list things to do while he was there.

Is love at first sight even possible?
Collin and Rachel thought so. They had an instant connection... right up to the point when Rachel disappeared.

Can they pick up where they left off even though it’s... Three Years Later

My Review: 

It was such a cute, funny, swoon-worthy and romantic induced read! It was perfect, I loved it! Everything except the abrupt ending though... I literally thought I was missing some pages, till I saw that others went through the same stage as me too LOL. Looking forward to book 2 and seeing more of the cast! :-)

Love Me (The Keatyn Chronicles #4) by Jillian Dodd 

Just had to mention these even though they're more like my comments rather than reviews ;) haha but these books are definitely worth a read! No spoilers, just read the blurb and try it for yourselves. :)

Goodreads Blurb: 

My mom says that you can’t love someone until you learn to love yourself. 
So even though Vincent is getting more and more scary. 
Even though he’s doing a nationwide search for me.
I’m going to learn to love myself. 

Well, I’m going to try. 
Mostly, I want a boy to love me. 
But which one?

Dawson - The gorgeous boy who made a mistake, but whose molten lava kisses and steaminess I can’t freaking resist. 
or 
Aiden - The God of all Hotties, who is practically infused with love potion. Who I thought liked me, but now says he wants to be my friend. 
or 
Brooklyn - The boy that first stole my heart. Who has always loved me. Well, until the whole cabana incident.

I mean, it was bad enough when there was sort of a love triangle, but now that I’m talking to B again, it’s like I’m in a love rectangle, or a rhombus, or something.

Oh, and did I mention Cooper Steele? 
The new soccer coaching, health teaching, tattooed hunk?
Who Garrett sent to school to guard my body. 
I mean, be my bodyguard. 

But back to loving me. 
I should forget about boys and worry about me. 
Love me.
Like, eventually.

My Review: 

Ah I love it! Didn't want it to end! It was such a great sequel to the other three books. I feel like we are finding out more about our favorite characters and that the characters are developing into mature individuals as well, especially Keatyn. 

There were times where I got a bit frustrated that K took forever to pick a guy. I mean it became obvious which guy she was really into, but then she'd change her mind and errrrr all I could think of was 'omg hurry up and choose! Put the guys and yourself out of misery!' LOL 

The ending was bittersweet. I absolutely found it cute and so romantic and cannot wait till the next novel, but at the same time I was like Noooooo! Don't end like that, don't end at all!

So if you haven't read this yet or this series. Then girl! What are you waiting for?! You might get a tad frustrated with so many guy hotties to choose from, but it is an absolute awesome series that must be read! And who knows maybe you'll learn something about yourself or some relationship advice... ;)

One by Mari Arden

Goodreads Blurb: 

*Note: this is a NA romantic suspense novel for 17+. 

Jules Hendricks has had a string of bad "firsts."

Embarrassing first kiss. Traumatic first date. An obsessive first boyfriend she can't understand. 

It's taken her years but she's finally able to leave her small town life behind for a new start as a freshmen at UW- Madison. For Jules this chance to be independent and rebuild her life is an opportunity she won't ever let anyone take from her again. She's determined to make something of herself without a man by her side, in front, behind or anywhere near her. 

Reid "Pax" Paxton is the star quarterback for the UW Badgers. His brush with death makes him understand how precious life is, and how important it is to take life by the horns, unafraid. Jules knows he's dangerous for her. Dark hair. Smoldering eyes. Killer smile. That dimple. That body. Those arms. Pax is everything she's trying to run away from, but she can't help coming back for more. Slowly he begins to show a life together can be more than just a dream. It can be their reality. The truth about reality is it's not always sunshine and butterflies.

Sometimes it's a wasteland. 

Sometimes secrets can't stay buried.

Sometimes your past will find a way to hunt you down.

My Review: 

4.5 stars!

I loved it from beginning to end. Definitely loved the unexpected surprises the author threw my way. And also, Jules and Pax are the sweetest couple ever! I definitely wanna find my Reid Paxton ;-) hahaha

Absolutely was not expecting to enjoy it as much as I did, but definitely glad I got to read because it was such a joy and one of the most sweetest romance novel I've read. Definitely a MUST READ to any romantic readers out there!

YA Review - The Sound by Sarah Alderson

The Sound by Sarah Alderson

Goodreads Blurb: 

When aspiring music journalist Ren Kingston takes a job nannying for a wealthy family on the exclusive island of Nantucket, playground for Boston's elite, she's hoping for a low-key summer reading books and blogging about bands. Boys are firmly off the agenda.

What she doesn't count on is falling in with a bunch of party-loving private school kids who are hiding some dark secrets, falling (possibly) in love with the local bad boy, and falling out with a dangerous serial killer...

The gripping new stand-alone novel from the author of Hunting Lila. 

My Review: 

Loved it! I was a bit skeptical when I first started reading it. I'm not a real big fan of thrillers, which is what I thought the novel was going to be about when I read the prologue. But as I kept reading it, it kept getting more interesting and intriguing that I just couldn't put it down.

The characters are charming, different and relate-able to what you'd expect them to be, but with their own personality and quirks.

Our main girl, Ren, is down to earth, funny, lovable and sarcastic. But she also shows her soft side and she'll stick up for the people she cares about.

Jesse Miller, is not your typical guy. With everyone thinking his some sort of a psycho murderous guy, it's kind of a contradiction when we're meeting him in the eyes of Ren. His nothing like what everyone says he is. He's sweet, charming, flirty, protective, plays the guitar and is just insanely HOT! I also love how each meeting Ren has with Jesse, we get a chance to know him some more, which is why I fell for him more and more each time, that I kept looking forward to his scenes. Which just adds to the novels mystery about what is really going on in the small town. 

And of course add in the fact that there is a serial killer on the loose, someone I never predicted and just added to my surprise (the good kind. Not that the serial killer is good, but you know what I mean ;)) With so many surprises in the novel, I feel like Sarah didn't really explain why the serial killer started killing all those nannies, that much. I feel like she should have elaborated some more on that.

But all in all, this novel has got it all: romance, hilarious moments, suspense, mystery, surprises, drama and Sarah Alderson's trademark all rolled in one. If you haven't read it yet, than what are you waiting for?! It's a stand alone novel that will keep you up all night till you've read every last page. Yes it's that addictive! You've been warned ;-)

Guest Review: NA Review - Frigid by J. Lynn

Frigid (Frigid #1) by J. Lynn

Goodreads Blurb: 

For twenty-one-year-old Sydney, being in love with Kyler isn't anything new. They'd been best friends ever since he pushed her down on the playground and she made him eat a mud pie. Somewhere over the years, she fell for him and fell hard. The big problem with that? Kyler puts the 'man' in man-whore. He's never stayed with a girl longer than a few nights, and with it being their last year in college, Syd doesn't want to risk their friendship by declaring her love. 

Kyler has always put Syd on a pedestal that was too high for him to reach. To him, she's perfect and she's everything. But the feelings he has for her, he's always hidden away or focused on any other female. After all, Kyler will always be the poor boy from the wrong side of tracks, and Syd will always be the one girl he can never have. 

But when they're stranded together at a posh ski resort due to a massive Nor'easter, there's nothing stopping their red-hot feelings for each other from coming to the surface. Can their friendship survive the attraction? Better yet, can they survive at all? Because as the snow falls, someone is stalking them, and this ski trip may be a life-changer in more ways than one.

Publisher: Spencer Hill Contemporary

My Review: 

With so many books out there to read. It's hard to find a book that has everything I need to make me swoon, laugh out loud and fall madly and deeply in love with it, all in one sitting. So if you are looking for a relaxing, romantic packed book with a lot, and I mean A LOT, of steamy scenes, then this is exactly what you should pick up and read! 

After reading so many books out there with a lot of fast-paced action throughout the entire novel, I was starting to get sick and bored with the predictability of it all. So reading this novel was like a nice breath of fresh air. It was something new, that cliché romance we love and enjoy and yet still full of surprises. It was totally different then all the other books out there, but still had JLA’s romantic punch that we all know and love. ;)

Sydney, is your typical down to earth, girl next door, sweetheart we know of. But she can also be feisty, funny and sarcastic like any other college student. But being stuck with her best friend, who she is secretly crushing on, shows readers and Kyler a whole new side of her.

Kyler on the other hand is charming, sexy, sweet and down right illegal for being that good looking.  *cue drool please* yeah...I just wanna not write this review at all, just so that I can keep him all to myself. Haha!

The story starts off with readers getting to know Sydney, eyeing her best friend Kyler at a bar who happens to have a girl on his lap, when they were suppose to hang out together enjoying the end of the semester. Which is such a typical player move. And yet instead of being disgusted and annoyed with his behaviour, she can't help but fall in love with him in a more than friends way. With dual point of views, readers also get a feel for Kyler, who of course is clueless about Sydney’s ordeal. As his feelings for Sydney go way beyond than the normal platonic friendship. Kyler truly cares about Sydney, figuring her out as someone who he thinks he doesn’t deserve and so treats her like someone fragile and rare, someone who thinks he could never have. But to Sydney, she thinks he only cares for her as ‘like a sister’ and nothing more. People never understood how Kyler could be ‘just’ friends with Sydney, including Sydney herself for that long. They’re two different individuals with different tastes and social outlook. But nobody really understood their deep underlying connection with each other, not even Sydney and Kyler themselves.

Fast forward and what was supposed to be an enjoyable winter break with their closest friends, has turned out to be a ‘stuck together’ situation as they end up being snowed in a cabin for days by themselves, with no one around but each other to keep company. Not only will they have to figure out if their friendship can survive when they step over the line and go from friends...to benefits. But they also have to deal with mysterious events that lead to sudden shattered windows, cut pipe lines and a vehicle almost running Sydney over. With no electricity and communication to the outside world, they’ll have to figure out who is trying to kill them and why, while consuming to the attraction between them, all before one of them gets hurt...or worse.  

And so begins the journey to the ‘more than a friend’ stages. With unexpected twists and turns and steamy, swoon-worthy scenes, Frigid will capture and entice you like no other NA novel out there. You could say that this book is cliché, but if you’re like me and LOVE JLA's style of writing, than you will definitely enjoy this novel! Her books have a way of making it difficult for you to put down the story, even if it’s just to go to the bathroom or have a quick drink and snack! LOL 

If your still not convinced, than here’s a couple of teasers to entice you!

"He regarded me with a wicked glint. 

"Look around the room, Syd. There's something you're missing." 

Scanning the room, it took me a couple of moments to catch on. " My clothes? Where are my clothes?" 

His answering grin was pure sin. "You're not going to need any clothes today, baby.""
