Review: This Girl by Colleen Hoover

Review: This Girl by Colleen Hoover

June 14, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… What a great way to end a great series. This is such a great book. The story is told in Will’s POV. It’s a little different in the sense that the book switches back in forth between the past and present. While they’re on their honeymoon, Will is telling Lake his point of view of the things they experienced in the past. I thought this was a unique way of telling this story. […]

My thoughts… This is the second book by Author Teresa Mummert that I’ve had the pleasure to read. I really enjoyed this story. She has a great writing style and I’m addicted to reading her books. Her stories draw you in from the beginning and keep your attention until the very end. I loved both Jenn & Shane. I thought they were good for each other and good together. The attraction between the two of […]

My thoughts… Jet is book two in the Marked Men series by Author Jay Crownover. While I enjoyed Jet & Ayden’s story, I don’t think it was quite the story Rule was. There was just something fascinating about Rule that captured my attention from the beginning. This one started out as a slow read for me, but the more I read the more enjoyable it became. Even though Jet & Ayden appear to be completely […]

My thoughts… OMG. OMG. Like If I Were You, Being Me is an amazing read! I love, love, loved this one too. This series is unbelievable and without a doubt one of my favorites. I think Ms Jones did a great job of building the story and keeping it interesting. This book is NOT a filler. There are several twists and turns. I didn’t find myself getting bored with it or skimming. It kept my […]

My thoughts… OMG! I could not put this book down. I was drawn in from page one and it didn’t let me go until the very end. White Trash Beautiful is so emotional. I cried several times. To me it seems that books that make you cry are typically great reads. This one didn’t disappoint. I was able to read this one in one sitting. It was that good. I loved Cass Daniels from the […]

My thoughts… OMG. OMG. What an amazing story! If I Were You sucked me in from page one, held me captive until the very end, and left me wanting more….so much more. This is the first novel by Author Lisa Renee Jones that I’ve had the pleasure to read and it won’t be the last. I’m hooked. If I Were You is told from Sarah’s POV. I felt like I was right there with her […]

My thoughts… While I really enjoyed this one it took me a long time to get to the end. It’s over 400 pages long and at times I felt myself wanting to give up on it, but when I finally did reach the end I was very happy that I stuck with it. This story is very complex and highly emotional. Nastya. She’s broken. She hides herself behind dark make-up, dark clothing, and a don’t […]

June 3, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Ah…. I finished this one in a day. I really enjoyed! Faded is like Jaded in some aspects. It happens over a short amount of time. Things were constantly changing and I kept turning page after page as fast as I could to see what would happen next. There really isn’t any sexual scenes in this book either. It’s all pretty much PG and I keep wondering if Scarlett & Stephan are actually […]

My thoughts… What a way to end a two book mini series. I loved this one as well. Cole has got to be one of my favorite book boyfriends EVER. He’s simply amazing! There are many twists and turns with this story that will keep you guessing on why things are the way they are. However, I recommend that you read the first book to know exactly what’s going on with all the characters. When […]

My thoughts… Omigosh this was an amazing read. I love it so! Clearly one of my favorites so far this year. This one is highly emotional. I both laughed and cried while reading it. Pax. He’s sexy and comes with a lot of baggage. He doesn’t deal with his problems. Instead he abuses drugs and alcohol to feel numb. He lost his mother when he was seven years old and instead of dealing with the […]

My thoughts… Wow! What a great book. This is the first one by Author Mercy Amare that I have read and I really enjoyed it. It sucked me in from page one and kept my attention and had me turning page after page to see what would happen next. I actually read this baby in a little under 7 hours! I normally don’t read a book in one day. It usually takes me two and […]

My thoughts… This is going to be a very short review. OMG! I knew going into this one that it was going to be highly emotional and I wasn’t wrong. By the end of Stealing Harper I was a blubbering mess. Literally. I’m still a bit emotional over it. I’m so glad that Ms McAdams wrote his story. I loved Chase. He struggled from the beginning with wanting Harper for himself and pushing her away […]

My thoughts… Going into this book I knew that Drew Evans was arrogant and a womanizer. What I didn’t know upon reading this was the fact that he’s also a first class prick. To be honest I didn’t really care for the guy to begin with. He was very demeaning towards women. He basically treated them as if they held absolutely no value other than to service him and his sexual needs. Having said those […]

My thoughts… Although a short read, this novella is really enjoyable. I loved both Charlie & Evan and thought they were good together. The story sort of jumps right into action from the very beginning. Just one date is all it takes for things to get physical between these two. The sexual scenes are well written and hot. The storyline kept my attention from the beginning till the very end. I really liked this one. […]

My thoughts… By far Gianni is my favorite Santinis. This is my favorite novella of the series so far. I don’t quite know what it is about Gianni but he get’s my motor running. Maybe it’s whole younger man / older woman aspect. I’m just not sure. I liked the fact that Gee and Kianna’s relationship was developed over a two month period via email while he was deployed. It made for the love element […]

My thoughts… This is novella number two in a four novella series. As with the first one I really enjoyed this one too. I liked Alana’s character from the beginning and felt bad for her because of her family issues. Marco’s a sexy SEAL and has three brothers who are all in the military. The four of them are who this series is based upon. Even though this is a short read I thoroughly enjoyed […]

My thoughts… The Santinis is a new 4 novella series about 4 brothers who are all in different branches of the military. Each of them are single and looking for love. Well, they might not be looking for it, but eventually it’s going to find each and every one of them. Leonardo’s story is first. He’s an Army Medic and doesn’t take crap from anyone. When he meets Maryanne Johnson he’s finally met his match. […]

My thoughts… The conclusion to the Just One Night series couldn’t have ended better. I loved this one!! When I first started it I was curious to see how things would end up for Kasie and Mr. Dade. The last book ended with her walking away from him. So of course I expected them to get back together. What I didn’t expect was the way Robert wanted Kasie to act. It’s like he wanted to […]
