Hopeless by Colleen Hoover

Hopeless is a book experience (It really is nothing short of an experience) that is so real and raw at times that I laughed, cried, and swooned right along with Sky.  Without giving too much away, Sky is an incredibly sheltered girl who has begged her adopted mother to start public high school for her senior year.  After a rather rotten first day, she happens to meet Holder after a trip to the grocery store.  After a couple of chance meetings, Holder's intense emotional roller coaster confuses Sky yet attracts her at the same time.  Holder does seem like he is playing with Sky in the beginning but once the story unfolds his emotions and intense feelings are explained. 
I was already a huge fan of Colleen Hoover from the Slammed Series.  I am so on a quest for a signed book.  She has a way of writing raw realistic characters that climb inside your heart and live there a long time.  She infuses the story with beautiful emotions and humor that always has me reading way past my bedtime.  Hopeless is even better than the Slammed Series.  I have no doubt that this will not only be picked up by a large publisher but I predict a movie for this one too.  There is so much strong emotional content that gives you a roller coaster ride of emotions and plot twists.  I do not want to give even a little bit of a spoiler away because this book must be experienced and savored.  I highlighted so much of this book that I don't think there is any page without a note.  I butterflying lived it.
A Couple of Fav Quotes:
"Let me inform you of something", he says in a low voice.  "The moment my lips touch yours, it will be your first kiss.  Because if you've never felt anything when someone's kissed you, then no one's ever really kissed you.  Not the way I plan on kissing You"  ~Holder *swoon*
"But what I can't handle Sky? What drives me crazy and makes me want to put my hands and mouth all over you every single inch of you?  It's the fact that you just said 'The Jerk' is your favorite movie ever.  Now That? he drops his mouth to mine until our lips are touching.  "That's incredibly F'ing hot and I'm pretty sure we need to make out more." ~ Holder
"This kiss is just like he is--studied and never hurried" ~OMG right there.....:)

Love and Relativity by Rachel Wade

I loved this story!  I would definitely put this one in the more realistic New Adult Category.  Love and Relativity introduces you to Emma Pierce who is suffering guilt and grief from the loss of her sister from a Drunk Driver.  She is in a rut but desperately reaching toward her dream to become a marine biologist and get off of the island (Sanibel, FL).  She has a strange love/hate relationship with the small town bad boy Jackson Taylor.  Jackson and Emma are like magnets that are pulled by an electrifying attraction.  Emma feels that in order to achieve her dreams she has to stay as far away from Jackson as possible because he a playboy with a string of hearts broken all over the island.  She doesn't want to be another notch on his bedpost despite the similarities and true understanding she feels from him. 
After a disastrous weekend to Orlando, Emma ends up leaving early with Jackson.  On that truck ride home, Emma begins to open herself up to the possiblities that Jackson might not be what he appears.  Jackson has a determination and loyality to show Emma how he really feels no matter what happens.  This is a roller coaster of emotions and misunderstandings that continue to keep two stubborn people apart.  But the passion and chemistry between Jackson and Emma is flammable and ignites the reader by literally keeping a slow burn that you can't put down.  I read this in one setting and didn't want to put it down.  I had to know what would happen between them. 
Jackson is one hot book boyfriend and will stay with you long after you put the book down.  Everyone needs a little passion and loyality like Jackson in their life.  This is a must read and will be up there with the likes of Beautiful Disaster by Jaime McQuire, Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarrity, and Taking Chances by Molly McAdams.  A must read for anyone who loves their bad boys with a heart of passion.

Just For Now (Sea Breeze 4) by Abbi Glines

I have so many reviews to do.  Life has been getting in the way! 

Just for Now is the 4th book in Abbi Glines Wonderful Sea Breeze Series.  This one is just as HOT as the others.  This book follows the story of Preston the ladies man of the group and Amanda Hardy who is Marcus' little sister.  Preston has had a hard neglected childhood but is trying to carry the weight of his world on his shoulders the only way he knows how.  When introduces in the Sea Breeze series, Preston is Marcus Hardy's best friend and the guy who all the bimbos flock to in the club.  He has a different girl every night of the week.  However, hiding under the surface is a man who will do anything to provide for his 3 younger siblings while trying to maintain his grades and keep his baseball scholarship.  He has done things he hates and feels he isn't good enough to even look in Amanda's direction.  Not to mention, Marcus wouldn't understand. 
Amanda has always been in love with Marcus but knows he would never love her because he only sleeps with girls who have big boobs.  She will always be Marcus' little sister.  But one night Preston not only notices her but fullfills her fantasies with a one night stand.  The problem is he thinks it is all a fantasy of his own.  Preston finally realizes that Amanda can love someone like him and they both brave the critical opinions around them.
Amanda and Preston have incredible chemistry and this is one book you won't want to put down.  I loved it.  The whole series is great and a must read!

Unlikely Allies by Tiffany King

What would you do if you find out your mother lied to you, your whole life?  Kimberly's Mom confesses that now that she is 18, Kimberly's father is alive but doesn't know of her existence.  Rick, Kimberly's father, runs a camp for foster kids in the Colorado Mountains.  Being a California girl, Kimberly's idea of a day outdoors, involves the beach not hiking, sleeping in cabins, and freezing in the cool Co. temps.  Kimberly is immediately thrown into being a counselor at the camp meeting some great new friends.  Rick has 'adopted' Mason as a foster son when he came to the camp and when Kimberly meets him the sparks fly.  Kimberly can't figure out why Mason is so critical of her.  Mason seems to resent her very presence at the camp and never fails to let her know it.  As the weeks go one, Kimberly earns the respect of her fellow counselors and breaks through the tough skin of some of the campers.  When one of her campers goes missing, Kimberly and Mason must come together to search the trails.  In the pouring rain, on the most difficult trail, Kimberly and Mason must depend on each other to survive  an accident that almost takes their lives.
I loved this book.  Tiffany King writes great romances so I knew without a doubt that I would love anything she writes.  Something about love/hate relationships that I really enjoy and usually lend a special spark to the romance. Kimberly is a great character who is thrown into an ackward situation by her mother's lies.  I am not sure I could be as forgiving.  Kimberly throws herself into embracing Rick and being open to his camp.  She shows a maturity in dealing with the unusual situation and even an extrodinary patience with Mason who flat-out just provokes her.  Mason is a "greek god" who shows a deep caring heart to everyone but Kimberly.  I kept thinking he was just jealous of her place as Rick's real daughter but the truth had me reading on and on.  This is a real in depth story with many great characters that lend a real true nature to the story other than the romance that is the central theme.  The summary really can't do this book justice without spoiling some of the story so the only thing I have left to say is READ this book.

Freeing Carter by Nyrae Dawn

The story opens with Carter responsibly helping his drunk mother into bed.  Freeing Carter is a real look into the relationships in a family affected by alcoholism.  Carter is a star point guard for his high school, has a hot girlfriend, and an alcoholic Mom.  Carter goes through some classic enabler feelings as he tries to protect his 6yo sister with Down't Syndrome.  Then Kiera enters Carter's life with an understanding and insight into his life that he keep guarded from everyone.  Kiera is a beautiful person changing styles from day to day and treating Carter's sister with great respect.  With Kiera's help, Carter begins to face his situation with strength rarely seen in someone his age.
If you haven't read a Nyrae Dawn book yet, I highly recommend them.  I have read all of her books and love the prospective of the guys point of view.  She gives you insight in the male psyche of young men who are respectful and have an inner strength.  The romance sweetly builds and becomes a beautiful rainbow of emotions.  Her books are grounded in reality and fleshed out characters that entice the reader to not want to stop reading.

Blood Twist by Bonnie Wheeler (Erris Coven 2)

The highly anticipated second book in the Erris Coven series, Blood Twist delivers all the romance and action of it's predecessor Fate Fixed.  Continuing the series, Liz has come to Erris to find out why her best friend Lexie hasn't called or emailed for months.  Once she arrives she walks in on the aftermath of Alik's challenge for power in Lexie's basement.  Braden finds her in the middle of the bloody chaos and immediately admires how she handles the shock that werewolves and dhampirs are real.  Liz is drawn to Braden but feels he isn't her type at all so she doesn't give much thought to him other than to admire his physique.  Braden can't seem to stop watching Liz with his family.  He finds the way she brazenly handles her self as fascinating.  With Ruby, Lexie's Mom, infected and rejecting the werewolf virus, Liz promises herself that she will find the cure. Ruby was the closest thing to a real mom that Liz has ever known.  She is determined not to fail no matter what it takes.  Braden claims he has a lead in Europe to track down a cure and Liz is insistant that she go with him.  Once they begin their quest to find the cure, Braden's secrets begin to come to the surface.  Their search leads them into the heart of a dangerous draghur nest. 
I was so excited to finally get to read more about the Erris Coven.  I loved being able to still know how Lexie and Torin were doing as well as the rest of the family.  Braden was a sexy hot guy with deep secrets.  These secrets drive the quest for the cure.  Liz is a wonderful girl who speaks her mind and takes charge without being overpowering.  The chemistry between Braden and Liz sparks like lightening flashing through the reader's veins.  As with the first novel, Blood Twist has a mysterious entity that you will keep you guessing the outcome.  Not often am I kept quessing about the outcome of a book but Mrs. Wheeler is a master of intrique and action.  I never quite knew what was coming next.  The unpredictability kept me reading long into the night.  The soulmate connection is there again drawing the reader in with heart pounding action and making you root for a happily ever after.  Braden and Liz's connection is unique from Torin and Lexie's keeping the romance fresh and new.  The excellent storytelling has me waiting on a sequel.  I can't wait to find out what is next for the Erris Coven and the heart-throb's Cian and Teagan.  I highly recommend the series for anyone who loves the paranormal romance genre. 

Measuring Up by Nyrae Dawn

Anabel is sick of the 'in' crowd at her highschool teasing her abut her weight.  Her own mother is so highly critical of her that she feels she will never be able to please her.  Her father is overly supportative and wants to make things easier for her. Anabel is so sick of it all that she finally decides to join a gym but goes to the otherside of town where noone will know her.  Outside the gym she battles self doubts and isn't sure she can actually go in when she meets the gorgeous Tegan.  Tegan is the picture perfect "gym boy" and Anabel is sure he is just trying to be nice.  Then Tegan's family shows up and Tegan's little brother Timmer needs help getting into his electric wheelchair.  Anabel steps up to help Tegan lift out of the van.  Tegan has a protective shell build around his famiy yet cannot help but talk to Anabel as they get to know each other while working out together.  Tegan begins to give hints about his attraction to Anabel.  But she is sure he couldn't want a fat girl like him
The writing is beautiful and speaks to that little girl devil inside of all women who hate something about themselves.  Although there is a romance the story, the real shining point of the plot is to learn how to be enough for yourself and not anyone else.  Every woman should read this book.  Ms. Nyrae had a way of climbing into my head and making me Aanbel.  Tegan is attracted to Anabel but loves her soul and the way she looks now.  Ms. Dawn writes a book that is a must read for every woman that thought about changing just that one thin.

Eden by Jamie McGuire (Providence 3)

Eden is the thrilling conclusion to the Providence trilogy.  It begins where Requiem left off with Nina and Jared's wedding.  Jared, again, proves he is an astute listener and makes arrangements to have Nina's perfect wedding.  They get to spend a week on their island without the fear and outside world touching them.  Once they are back in Providence, things immediately go from zero to sixty.  Nina tries to fit back into her role at Titan but must run for her life after an accident.  The demons want to prevent Jared and Nina's child from being born.  They begin to shell humans which is like a temporary take over physically that leaves humans with no memory of their actions.  Because any human can be shelled, they are in danger no matter where they go.  Jared is desperately searching for a solution to keep Nina and their child safe.  The ending is huge.
Eden played in my mind like a good action flick that never stopped.  I loved Jared and Nina's wedding and their bliss of the pregnancy.  This book kept me reading late into the evening and neglected the world around me.  I was happy with the ending and believe this series will be on the keeper shelf.  Bex continued to be a favorite of mine and I would love for a side story on him.  I wonder who he will love and who is Taleh will be.  *hint,hint Mrs. McGuire ;)

Providence by Jamie McQuire

I picked up Providence because of how much I am obsessed with Beautiful Disaster.  This book is a completely different genre and blew me away.  This series is so very different from BD.  McQuire is so talented to create a world around soul searing romance that will make you ride a roller coaster of emotion and not want to put the book down.  The very best thing about reading this series now is that all three books are out and I didn't have to wait for the next book!  I am immediately reading Requiem which picks up where Providence left off. 
After her father's funeral, Nina sits on a bus stop bench in the pouring rain staring into space when her silent protector comes and sits along side of her.  Jared is hot, protective, and supernatural--3 of my favorite things.  Sharing a cab back to Brown University, Jared and Nina talk just enough to plant the seed of attraction.  Soon Nina is looking for places to 'run' into Jared and starts to believe he is watching over her.  One night when Jared saves Nina and her friends, fate begins to weave their lives together in a way that could be deadly.  Jared and Nina have some serious chemistry and I cheered all the way through with them.  I also cried in places where Nina and Jared believe the world is out against them.  This is an action packed supernatural romance that I loved.  Jamie McQuire is definitely one of the best and will soon be a household name.  I can't wait to see how this series ends.

Stealing Grace by Shelly Crane

This was a very interesting book.  Only Shelly Crane could take a subject like human trafficking and write a romance.  This was the only book I haven't read by Ms. Crane.  Her Significance series is my all time favorite and has made me a full lifeime fanatic. 
Elena is stolen off the streets and taken through the seedy world of human trafficking.  She ends up being sold into being a wife as a part of a cult-like society.  But Alex, her husband, has always felt that the treatment of the women was abusive and wanted to pick a wife just to save her from his mother's own bitter fate.  As a result, Elena starts to see the good in Alex and a deep love is formed.  Together they make a difference by helping some of the other women escape.  In the end, they must run for their lives from not only the community but the human traffickers themselves.

Crash by Nicole Williams

Wow!  I loved this book. I started it and couldn't put it down until I finished it.  Crash is a fast paced passionate bad boy-I-want-to-save romance.  While some could read the bad boy with a bad temper as just another book that glorifies violence, Crash is so much more with deeper.  Beside let's face it, who hasn't wanted to save a bad boy or be the one special someone that can get through to him.  For me, Books are supposed to be a loose your reality type of story not necessarily what I would do in real life.  This is an excellent book for those of us who have loved Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McQuire.  Jude could actually take over my crush on Travis.
Lucy's family has downsized when her father lost his business which makes her family have to move to their lake cabin where she will go to private school.  She meets Jude Ryder whose reputation of local bad boy with a 2 page rap sheet.  But she sees something in him, Jude allows her to touch his soul. They are drawn to each other and their passion ignites.  I don't want to resummarize this book but trust me it's good.  I fully expect this one to follow in Beautiful Disaster's footsteps and wind up a best-seller that will put this Indie author on the radar.

Wishing for Someday Soon by Tiffany King

Katelyn and her little brother Kevin arrive in a small town in Montana from California.  The town is so small there is only one grocery store and one gas station.  They live in the only run down trailer park.  But for Katelyn this is actually a step-up from living from homeless shelter to living in the car with a hole in the floorboard.  Katelyn is both abused and neglected by her Mom but gladly suffers and covers up the secrets to keep Kevin safe and with her.  She fears any interference from the state would end her and Kevin in seperate foster homes.  Then comes Max who likes Katelyn instantly and manages to break through all of her self protective walls. 
This is another wonderful love story written by Tiffany King that whispers of love at first sight and soulmates.  Katelyn's life is harsh and gritty that bases the story in reality.  Max and all the kids in Katelyn's class are friendly and welcoming to the newcomers.  The book made me experience all of Katelyn's highs and lows right along with her.  I couldn't put it down.

Consumed by Rebecca Zanetti

I have been a huge fan of the Kayrs brothers series since reading the first novel.  Jordan and Katie, two mountain lion shifters, were introduced in the first book and have appeared every part of the story.  Katie loves Jordan who rescued her as a kitten from an abusive foster home, but is afraid he will never see her as more than the little girl he rescued.  Now she has been infected with the dreaded Virus-27 that has taken her ability to shift but given her an ability to locate werewolves who have been turned into evil killing machines by the Kurjans.  Ten years have past since the last book and Katie has been living on her own as the leader of a hunting team.  However, Jordan shows up suddenly to take her home to the Realm's HQ.  Jordan has been infected and knows that he will be turned into a mindless werewolf by the next full moon.  Katie is determined to save him even if she has to take one for the team and seduce him to do it.
I have always loved Jordan and Katie and was so excited that they were getting their own story.  I couldn't put this down as Ms. Zanetti drawns the reader into her world and never lets go.  The series has a number of secondary characters and previous main characters that the reader will love getting to know also.  It was a great treat to see Janie growing up and the dynamic with her, Zane, and Kalin.  I can't wait for the next book.

Thomas & January by Fisher Amelie

When you first meet Tom in Callum & Harper, he is happy-go-lucky bass player known for his tied dye shirts.  Then his heart gets broken when his first love gets engaged to someone else.  Tom moves away from his New York "family" to Austin where he becomes a music scout with a hard veneer.  Tom is excellent at his job because he is tightly in control of his emotions and concentrates on the quality of the music.  January ends up at one of his scouting job and they are instantly drawn to each other.  The attraction is hot and severe that creates enough fireworks to burn the book out of your hands.  Tom is cruel and is afraid of what this attraction means for his frozen heart. 
As a twist of fate, has January and Tom teaming up through Europe to scout new bands in a contest against another scout.  Soon they can't fight the fire, but will it be enough for Tom to take a chance on love?
If you haven't read a Fisher Amelie book yet, you HAVE to drop everything and start now.  She is an AMAZING writer who immediately pulls you into the story with a well developed world that has realistic imperfect characters.  The relationships between these characters are what she does best.  Even the friendships inspire deep seated feeling in the reader and when she gets to love, the pages very nearly glow with passion.  I loved this book and can't wait to read more from this incredible author.

Fae Not by Leah Speigel

Fae Not was a unique and intriquing read about a new version of fae.  The only thing that changed this from a 5 star to 4 star was that I wanted more background in the beginning.  I understand the building mystery to the society and supernatural beings, but I wanted the farm more clearly explained.  Sometimes it felt a little thrown into the middle of a story.  Because of this, the farm was sort of vaccuum that I wasn't real sure of the time period of the story.  It wasn't until the trip to Wal-Mart and mentions of the Garmin GPS that I was sure it was present day. 
However, that being said, I did immediately get drawn into the mystery of Ashton and the depressed Claire.  The new twist on the Fae keep me reading as I wanted to know all the details of how the society worked.  While the beginning bothered me with a lack of background details, the story really picks up halfway through and kept me reading until I finished it.  As Claire's true story emerges and her relationship with Ashton deepens, I really feel fans of the fae will be enthralled.  I loved the last half of the book and couldn't put it down but wanted more details of what happened.  The ending felt a little abrupt but did give me my happy ever after.

Easy By Tammara Webber

Jacqueline follows her long time high school sweetheart to the University of his choice instead of attending a Music Conservatory. She suddenly finds herself single and unsure of who is without her boyfriend. Then, to add to her turmoil she is in trouble of losing her scholarship because she has skipped the last two weeks of her economics class so she didn't have to sit in her assigned seat next to her ex.

After a meeting with her professor, Jacqueline starts using the class tutor Landon through email. Thus, begins an on-line relationship that kept me drawn with witty emails. Landon is smart and quick with intelligent emails that draws Jacqueline to him. It is a touch of my favorite movie "You've Got Mail" that I loved.

Then there is the bad boy Lucas who is covered in tattoos, sketches in the back of class, and saves Jacqueline who is almost raped by an aquaintance after a frat party. Lucas is just yummy but quiet. However, I was so drawn to him that I could identify with Jacqueline. Lucas and Jacqueline's romance is intense but there continues to be secrets and until they are fully discussed no relationship will ever work.

I loved this book. I began to read it as a number of my friends gave it great reviews. I have to agree it is a re-read for the keeper shelf. I loved how this romance went and was throughly satisfied.

Because Of Low By Abbi Glines

I can't tell you how glad I was that Marcus got his own romance in the next book of the Sea Breeze series.  I fell in love with Marcus in Breathe and couldn't wait for him to find his own love story.  The story begins several months after Breathe ended and Marcus' family is facing a crisis.  Of Course being the upstanding dependable guy that we all love, Marcus comes home to be there for his Mom and sister.  Marcus moves into an apartment back in Sea Breeze with Cage who reminded me a little of Travis Maddox(Beautiful Disaster--If you haven't read this you are missing out!!!).  Cage is a self proclaimed Man-whore who parties with a different girl every night.  Soon after Marcus moves in, Low shows up on the door step wanting to stay with Cage.  Marcus is immediately drawn to her but she sizes Marzus up by his father and instantly thinks she has no chance with Marcus.  Marcus is fascinated by the vulnerable girl who appeals to his protective side but gets shut down by Cage who proclaims he is going to marry Low.  Low always turns to Cage who has been her constant through her crappy childhood, shielding her and helping her out time and time again.  Marcus longs for Low to turn to him and trust him with her secrets.  Low feels like Marcus could never identify with her family drama. 
Again, Ms. Glines weaves a romance with real characters whose lives aren't perfect.  The imperfections make them indentifiable and allow them to crawl into your heart where I guarantee they will stay long after you put down the book.  This story made me laugh and cry along with the characters and will be a re-read on my keeper shelf.

Breathe (Sea Breeze) by Abbi Glines

Sadie White lives an unusual life for a 17 year old girl.  Having just moved to the small town of Sea Breeze with her 7 month pregnant mother, Sadie is forced to take over her mother's job so her Mom can rest.  Sadie soons finds out that she works in the summer getaway of the teen rocker Jax Stone.  But Sadie needs her job to keep a roof over her head and food in the kitchen.  She doesn't have time for swooning over Jax Stone.  Sadie never had time to swoon over stars as she has always been forced to mother her own mother.  She has had to grow up too fast and too soon.  At first, she isn't sure they will allow her to stay in her Mom's place but soon her hard work, dedication, and sweet attitude make her part of a close knit work family.  She soon becomes a person with people who care about her for the first time in her life.
Jax is fascinated with the beautiful etheral girl who seems to not care who he is and is there to do a good job.  He is drawn to Sadie and soon befriends her.  Sadie doesn't want to fall in love with him because she knows they come from opposing worlds.  Marcus her best friend tries to warn her and save her from heartache but knows it is too late.  Marcus is so sweet and damn near perfect too.  I loved him and I am so glad he is getting his own book and romance. 
At times, Jax talks like a cheesy poetic romance hero.  But so help me I love him anyway.  He is every woman's fantasy so who cares if he seems to good to be true.  We all secretly want one just like him.  Sadie's Mom Jessica may just be the most selfish excuse for a Mom that I have ever seen.  I alternately wanted to slap her and yell at her.  The ending was so good and made the whole book worth it.  I loved this book from beginning to end and it will definitely be on my keeper shelf. 

Effortless by S. C. Stephens

Effortless is the continuation of Kiera and Kellan's love story.  Since their romance started while Kiera was still dating Kellan's best friend, Denny, there is a great deal of mistrust between them.  Kiera is also st ruggling with her self-confindence and Kellan's rock star personna.  Kellan has written her name on his heart to keep Kiera close.  Kiera has to continually remind her self of Kellan's love to be able to deal with his on-stage flirting and the constant attention Kellan gets from women.  Not to mention, Kiera is constantly running into people Kellan has sleep with before. 
As Kellan and Kiera have just started to find their way back to themselves, after the pain and thoughless actions from before, the D-bags are given the biggest opportunity of their lives to go on tour with another popular band for six months.  Kiera must stay behind for school and both are terrified of what this seperation will mean for their relationship.  Kellan is afraid Kiera will get lonely and seek solice in the arms of another.  Kiera feels Kellan may be tempted to go back to his man-whore days.  Both must learn to trust each other and be open and honest on a new level of intimacy. 
This book is definitely my favorite of the two.  Kellan proves himself even sweeter and more dedicated to Kiera.  I don't want to spoil the things he thinks up to keep Kiera thinking of him but it is swoon-worthy.  Kiera is better to tolerate in this book.  I think one thing that makes her hard to take is the writing(Kiera's POV) is honest and frank and yet, Kiera often lies to herself and refuses to meet her suspicions head on.  If they would both just be honest!!! 
Kellan and Kiera are still completely hot and combustable together and some of their love scenes read with butterfly inducing intimacy.  There is sex and drinking in this book so it definitely is not for young teens.  But I would definitely recommend it.
