Never Too Far by Abbi Glines My rating: 4 of 5 stars Read on April 23, 2013 Never Too Far picks up just shortly after Fallen Too Far has left off. And I am so glad I waited to read them closer together. BUT NOW I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL LATE SUMMER FOR BOOK 3!!! Like the last book this one was just as frustrating and just as fantastic. A little more serious, a little more grown up. More secrets, more lies. So many times I thought "please don't be stupid, please don't fuck this up". I want to say a few things about the side characters. Bethy, has turned out to be a great friend for Blaire and I'm really happy  how things have turned out good for her. I hope to see more of her in future books. In Fallen Too Far I liked Grant, I thought he was really sweet he was the nice guy to Rush's bad boy image. I liked him more then I liked Woods, this time around I found it the opposite. I still think Grant is great, I was just happy to see a certain side of...

Fallen Too Far by Abbi Glines My rating: 4 of 5 stars *Warning slight spoilers* Blaire is a 19 year old girl who has seen some real pain and loss. But she is strong and will not crumble, she will not let herself even if on the inside the ache is there.   She is all she has. After her mothers death, she has to sell her home in order to cover the medical bills that three years of treatment built up. The only family she has is her father, the father she hasn't seen or heard from since he walked out on her and her mother five years ago. Even when her momma was dying there was no word. With nothing but her old truck, 20 bucks to her name and a gun for protection she has no other choice then to turn to him. When she finally arrives what she gets isn't what she expected. Rush is a cocky sob with a sweet side, who has issues like all the bad boys in these new adult books. And I can not seem to get enough of them, I've always been attracted to that head tilt, grin, arched eyebrow,...

Gnome on the Range by Jennifer Zane My rating: 4 of 5 stars Going into this book I was thinking okay quick read that will be silly. *Points to cover, glances at title* And well I was correct. The amount of times I laughed and laughed I can't count, very very humors book. I even snorted, yep that's right I snorted and loudly might I add, because there was so many comical parts. "You got it stuck where?" I got a kick out of all the characters, Goldie especially. Oh and well can not leave out Ty, yummy fire man!!! What I didn't see coming was the nice little mystery involved. Jane, a mom of 2 and widow works at an "adult" store, owned by her mother-in-law, Goldie.. Doesn't have a whole lot of excitement going on in her life, until the day of the garage sale, the day her sons buy those two darn garden gnomes. 4 stars, because it did what it promise it would do and gave me a little bit more.

Undercover Professor by December Gephart My rating: 4 of 5 stars "Whatever I can get. Customer service, sales. But I’m really into World of Warcraft—type online gaming. That’s what my article is on.

She's been hurt in the past, so because of that she has created rules for any potential male she meets, but what's the point of the rules if there isn't any "zing" Player two: Andy Sullivan, is jobless, staying with his mom, plays video games and doesn't meet ANY of of Lucy's rules.

Slammed by Colleen Hoover My rating: 5 of 5 stars Trying to gather my thoughts to write this, it's hard to do with tears flowing down my over my cheeks. This book is unbelievably to good to be true. I just loved it. This book, it made me feel so much emotion. I've smiled, laughed, glared, swooned, and cried while reading this. Collen Hoover has written one of those rare books that hooks you and makes feel everything because the characters are written so well that you can not help but fall in love, feel their pain, and smile when they do. Definitely one of my top favorites of 2012. View all my reviews

Cherry On Top by Kathleen Long My rating: 4 of 5 stars I don't normally read straight up contemporary romance, I really liked the humor and sense of mystery that was in this one. Loved the attraction and banter between Cherry and Luke. Gramps was a hoot and a half, I kept on picturing the Fraser's dad for his character. View all my reviews

Outlander by Diana Gabaldon My rating: 4 of 5 stars I enjoyed the story but I found it to be a tad too long. I would have been perfectly happy to see the story end a little sooner then it did. Will I read the others? Not really sure, as I'm happy to see it as a stand alone. View all my reviews

Seduce Me at Sunrise by Lisa Kleypas My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book was fantastic. Lisa Kleypas is definitely going to be an auto buy author for me now. View all my reviews

Mine Till Midnight by Lisa Kleypas My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was a first time read for this author for me, an no way will it be a last. This book was fantastic, although frustrating at times. I wanted to yell at Amelia and tell her to just say yes gosh darn it. I did adore her though, her character was great. Christopher is a bastard who every time he appeared I hoped he would fall in a well. I really liked Cam, he was very mysterious. And I can't wait to find out more about him and what the connection is between him and Merripen. I know nothing of the next book but I do hope it continues where this one leaves off with Amelia and Cam. View all my reviews

The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks My rating: 4 of 5 stars I knew when I started to read this that at some point I was going to need a box of tissues. It got to a point that I actually had to take a break from reading because my eyes were sore from crying, I was debating finishing it. Not because it wasn't a good book but because if I stopped Steve would not die, if I continued on and finished he would. I enjoyed this book even if it did start to emotionally drain me.
