Release Day Launch, Review & Giveaway: Before We Fall by Courtney Cole

Release Day Launch, Review & Giveaway: Before We Fall by Courtney Cole

December 2, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Before We Fall is the fourth book in the amazing Beautifully Broken series. I loved, loved, loved this one. While Jacey was a secondary character in previous books, Dominic aka Dom is new to the series. I was sort of disappointed that Jacey and Brand didn’ t get a book, but about halfway through this one I was happy that they didn’ t. Jacey is known for picking the wrong guy. She does […]

My thoughts… The Gift is a funny, sweet, and delightful read. I liked both Imogene and Blake. Especially Blake. *swoon* The playful banter between these two was really funny and I enjoyed reading story. The only negative thing I can say about this one (and it’s not really a negative) is that it’s really, really short. I would’ve loved to read a full length novel with these characters.

My thoughts… Although this is a short novella I really enjoyed it. Until We Burn gives the reader a little bit of insight into who Dominic Kinkaide is. You’ ll see how he views things through his eyes. I found him to be a very interesting guy. Dominic seems like the typical Hollywood movie star. Rich and good looking he’ s used to getting his way. Which he does, but he also has a secret […]

My thoughts… Finally! A new book from author Claire Contreras. I loved her first two books (There is No Light in Darkness & Darkness Before Dawn) and couldn’ t wait to read this one. The synopsis drew me in and I couldn’ t wait to get started. Catch Me is a different style book from the first two she’ s published or at least I think so. Whereas the two Darkness books were suspenseful, Catch […]

My thoughts… Finally! We get to hear Remy’s side of the story. I love reading books from the heroes POV. I like being able to get into their head and experience things from their perspective. After having read the first two books in this series I know how the story goes. Having said that, in this story you can get a feel for Remy in a different light. While the majority of this story highlights […]

November 25, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… A short holiday novella I enjoyed this one for the most part. There was a bit of confusion on my part for the first half of it though. I couldn’ t figure out what was going on with the characters. It just sort of seemed that there wasn’ t enough backstory to justify how the main characters were acting towards each other. I kept feeling like I was missing something while reading it. […]

My thoughts… Sia. I really liked this one. It held my attention from the beginning until the end. I think both the main and secondary characters were very interesting. I loved Sia. (love her name) She wakes up on a park bench and has absolutely no idea who she is or how she got there. She’s forced to spend a week living homeless on the streets. She befriends a homeless woman named Carol who helps […]

My thoughts… Torn was a very fast read for me. It can easily be read in one sitting. I liked it. Gage was a secondary character in the first novella in this series and I was really looking forward to him getting his own story. He’ s not one for relationships so I couldn’ t wait to meet the woman who would bring him to his knee’ s. Speaking of… I really liked Marina. She’ […]

November 16, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… I have been so excited for this book to come out. The first one ended with a pretty big cliffhanger and so of course I couldn’ t wait to find out what would happen next. Having said that I was way over halfway through the book before things started to get interesting. The first half there really wasn’ t anything exciting happening. I kept wondering if things would indeed pick up. I was […]

My thoughts… Where to begin. Ignite is the debut novel by Author Tessa Teevan. Those who are reading this probably know who she is. If not, here a few details about her. She makes up 1/3 of the Gutter Girls who have a book review blog. She’ s very friendly and always responds to her @ replies on Twitter (at least she does mine lol) and even though she’ s a Reds fan I can […]

My thoughts… I loved Awakening. It was a quick read for me. I just couldn’t seem to put it down. I found both the main characters to be intriguing and I really liked them. Evan acted like a butt for the first part of the story. It was understandable as to why he did given the feelings and emotions he was dealing with. I just wish he would have come around a bit earlier in […]

My thoughts… See that? ↑ Yep, up there. The synopsis? Those few short words aren’ t very descriptive are they? That’ s okay because we’ re getting more Remy, right? Right! I could summarize Mine for you, but I’ m not going to. Here’ s why. I really don’ t want to spoil anything. Trust me. You’ ll thank me when you start reading this book. Here’ s what I can tell you. Author Katy […]

Autumn in the Vineyard is Nathaniel (Nate) DeLuca & Francesca (Frankie) Baudouin’s book. The story captured my attention from the first page and held it until the very end. I kept turning page after page to see what would happen next. I experienced a […]

My thoughts… I have been patiently err not so patiently waiting for this one!!!! I love this series so much!!! The plot is really good. I kept turning page after page because I had to know what was going to happen next. I literally couldn’ t put this book down. Although Charlie is a new character to this series Cain is not. He’ s been in previous books and I couldn’ t wait for his […]

My thoughts… I absolutely loved Wait for You (book one) and Cameron. So when Trust in Me was announced I couldn’t wait to read it and get Cam’s POV on how things played out between both him and Avery. Some readers aren’t a fan of authors writing subsequent books or novellas from the heroes POV. I happen to enjoy it. It’s interesting to experience things from the heroes perspective. Cameron. He is perfect. Well, at […]

My thoughts… OMG! I need novella #2. Like. Right. Now. Such a cliffhanger with this one. Boo 🙁 Ok. This being a novella of course it’s pretty short. Things move at a very fast pace. I liked both Anna and Gray’s characters. I found them both to be interesting. I was happy when they acted upon their attraction for each other. I think together they make a good couple. The sexual scenes are comparable to […]

My thoughts… I’m a fan of reading the heroes POV in stories. I like to experience how they perceived things. I loved Travis Maddox in Beautiful Disaster so I knew that I needed to read his story. I’m happy that I did. I really enjoyed it. I think the author did a great job writing this companion novel. I didn’t grow bored with it. I didn’t find myself skimming. It captured and held my attention […]

My thoughts… Where to begin with this one. I loved this book and it’s characters. The synopsis caught my attention and I couldn’t wait to get started reading it. It captured and held my attention from the beginning until the very end. I kept turning page after page to see what would happen next. Speaking of… I really liked both Elle and Nico. In the beginning Elle is described as plain and boring. She lives […]

My thoughts… I’ve read this one once before. I left a four star rating on Goodreads a while back and said “From the beginning until the end I loved everything about this story.” Not much of a review, but it’s straight and to the point. I’d like to add I loved Bliss and Garrick from the beginning. The chemistry they share is apparent from the beginning. Upon meeting in a bar their attraction is so […]

My thoughts… I have so many mixed feelings about this book. The synopsis captured my attention and I couldn’t wait to get started reading it. It wasn’t to far into it that things started to go wrong. The characters or should I say the hero has issues. A lot of issues. I found Donovan’s actions to be odd at times. In some ways I could see why he acted the way he did at times, […]

My thoughts… I’m sort of conflicted about this book. After reading Fixed on You (book one) I didn’t think a book two was necessary, but I was excited to get more Hudson Pierce. Immediately things started to frustrate me. Alayna was doing things that had me shaking my head. Literally. I couldn’t understand the point of some of her actions. There was a lot of back and forth with her decisions. I almost started to […]
