The Trouble With Goodbye by Sarra Cannon My rating: 4 of 5 stars I was given a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review. Warning: The following review has spoilers Leigh Anne, is the girl who had it all. Rich boyfriend, popular but wanted more out of life. She wanted freedom, freedom from her parents expectations and plans for her. What better way to achieve that then moving away for school. Now after two years away, Leigh Anne is coming back home. But she's changed. How can she face all her friends and family after what happened. How can she maintain her mask of everything is okay and nothing's changed? But she carries a darkness that is eating away at her, a secret that she has had to to live with for a year and a half. And it has broken her. The wight of the world feels like it's coming down on my shoulders. I stare at the pieces of glass and realize that's what I've become. Broken Knox, is new to town. Moved there just after L...

Romancing the Bookworm by Kate Evangelista My rating: 3 of 5 stars *This copy was given in exchange for an honest review, and may contain spoilers* Tammara, would rather spend her time reading rather then going out and being social. In fact some days she can finish 3 novels. It's her escape. Books don't cause her pain, they are always there for her when she needs them.   This is why I'd rather read! Real people come with too much bullshit . Ronni, her best friend decides it's time Tammara gets her nose out of her books and starts living at little. And now is the perfect time to do it, spring break. So being the best friend that she is she convinces Tamara, to spend spring break with her in  Maverick Bay.

A surfing competition that is organized by a fellow college student, Xavier, who's had his eye on Tammara for a few weeks now. An eye that she's never ...

True by Erin McCarthy

True by Erin McCarthy My rating: 4 of 5 stars Rory is the good girl, the smart girl. She tends to keep to herself, and sits back and thinks over everything logically. She's the girl that well boys don't really take notice too. So when she tells her roommates that she is still a virgin they decide to take matters into their own hands. Tyler is the metal shirt wearing, tattooed "bad boy" who they think will fill that role as Rory's confidence builder by helping her lose her V card. Except there is more to Tyler then people see, he's smart with so much on his plate. It's easier to let others think of him as just a good time, rather then have them get a peek at what life really is like for him. Until Rory. Studying together they both discover things about the other that no one else sees, or even bothers to look for. I really enjoyed this book. When I got to the end, I had to do a double take and thought "What, that's it? Over?? But but m...

A Moment by Marie Hall My rating: 4 of 5 stars Ryan is a local fighter, an ex Marine with a secret so dark it haunts him almost nightly. Especially on Valentines Day, that is the one day of the year he goes out and drinks and drinks, hoping to drown away the pain. He is so broken, he thinks he is beyond repair. Lili, a single mother and collage student, has had a hard life. Her mother is dying, her son, 7 is autistic and she feels that she doesn't love her. She's trying her best to take care of both of them while working and going to school. She doesn't really get time for herself, doesn't make time for herself. Ryan thinks he can't be fixed, Lili hopes to be the one to fix him. But the fear of last Valentines Days is always there in the back of her mind, is he  too broken for her to try. While I enjoyed reading A Moment, somethings felt like they were missing. Just a few things I would have liked to see addressed. They weren't major story altering thi...

This Girl by Colleen Hoover My rating: 5 of 5 stars How do you put into words these feelings. I laughed... I cried... I fell in love... I took comfort...

My Favorite Mistake (My Favorite Mistake, #1) by Chelsea M. Cameron

My Favorite Mistake by Chelsea M. Cameron My rating: 4 of 5 stars *So I had this big whole review wrote up and well poof it's gone. Taylor and Hunter are roommates along with two other girls, to him he has hit the jackpot. To Taylor she wants him gone now. She wants him gone before he even showed up, there has to be a mistake, he's well a he. And a cocky know it all who doesn't call her by her real name and well lucky for her it's her room he's sharing. They both have their secrets, they both push each other away when they seem to be heading in direction of them. They defect, the snap, they don't talk. When I first started reading this, Hunter and Taylor annoyed me. But as I continued reading they started to grow on me, especially Hunter. I love the banter between those two, to quote Renee (roommate) "You guys eye f**k each other every second you can". Makes me think of Def Leppards, When Love and Hate Collide View all my reviews
