Book Review: Bad for you abbi Glines

Bad for You (Sea Breeze, #7)Bad for You by Abbi Glines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

June 27 -28

Innocence isn’t meant for the addictive…The next sultry affair in the New York Times bestselling Sea Breeze Collection by Abbi Glines is unstoppably steamy.

Addiction is part of Krit Corbin’s nature—and women have always been his favorite obsession. But that’s the life of a lead singer in a band. He can have any woman he wants—anywhere, anytime. Well, except for one.

Blythe Denton is used to being alone. The minister’s family who raised her never accepted her as their own, and the cruel minister’s wife made sure Blythe understood just how unworthy she was of love. So when she finally gets the chance to live by herself, Blythe takes it and moves into an apartment building with a loud upstairs neighbor who keeps throwing parties all night long.

It’s during one such party when Krit opens the door to find his new neighbor standing there. Blythe wants him to turn down the music, but he convinces her to stay. She’s nothing like the women who parade in and out of his apartment, but Krit can’t resist her—her brown hair, cute glasses, and sexy innocence is too much for him to ignore.

Determined to win Blythe over, Krit Corbin may have just found his biggest addiction yet.

Review – I loved this one so much Krit oh my god swoon I have my thing for bad boy characters and he’s on the list * fans self * I felt like I had allot of Blythe’s Characteristis . She’s very shy and not a big fan of crouds and she writes When she meets Krit they live in the same building and she’s staring at him I was laughing my butt off . Krit has allot of problems of his own he’s also obsessed with sex but wen he meets Blyth he’s obsessed with her they hang out they eat together . Blythe works at the church where she meets Link who I now hate after finding out what he did but they go on two dates and Krit after awhile keeps a distance to her which was stupid because he has feeling for her but won’t go there cause she is innocent but when she get’s invitied to Daisy’s party but she didn’t tell Krit he’s very suprised and he brought a guest Brit ugh I didn’t like this girl and everyone is gaining up on Krit and Blythe sticks up for him oh she’s really deep in this and she starts crying and leaves and Krit comforts her and then they kiss eeek oh my and he loves her but doesn’t tell her yet she goes to his shows and it’s so cute and they start doing sexy stuff and wow oh my I love the tattos and pearcings 😉 when Brit tells Krit she’s pregnant I was screaming like wtf and he tells Blythe and she’s freaking out and then she finds out the Paster who she lived with had a heart attack and she goes with Link and Krit destroys his apparment and she doesn’t connect with him for two weeks and then we find out that the preacher is HER REAL FATHER WTF I hate the dude . We also find out that Krit isn’t the father of that baby cause she’s four months what a bitch and Link he has a finace what a dick I loved this story and Krit and Blythe together so cute together and I loved the song Krit wrote for Blythe .

Quotes – Are you done checking me out ? Because i’d hate to interrupt you

Most woman beg me to lick him , and I give it to you for free and you push me away , he said with a fake pout on his face . Your crazy. I giggled . I’m the good kind of crazy , though .

I’ve broken heart and left them in a trail behind me . But they only had me one night .
She owned my heart for years , then took it with her in her flight .

We are working! She was fine. You could see her. What the fuck is wrong with you? This is our job, asshole. You can’t go doing shit like that when we have a packed house!”

Krit shoved him again. “Don’t tell me what the fuck to do.”

I had to stop them. This was about me. I wasn’t sure why Krit had come offstage, but I knew it was about me. I had to fix this. I didn’t want Krit fighting his best friend.

“Stop fucking shoving me, you pansy-ass motherfucker!” Green roared, and lunged for Krit.

I moved fast, putting up two hands and jumping in front of Krit to stop him. The force of impact when Green didn’t stop hit me directly in the chest. It was as if someone had put a vacuum in my lungs and sucked all of the oxygen from the room. Nothing was getting in, and panic gripped me when I realized I couldn’t breathe.

“Fuck!” Krit yelled, and his arms were around me. He was doing something to my chest as he begged me to breathe. I was trying to breathe. It wouldn’t work.

“Baby, please breathe,” he was pleading, and I wanted nothing more than to do that, but I couldn’t. It hurt, and the terror that I was about to die settled over me.

“She got the air knocked out of her. She’s gonna be okay,” Matty said in a calmer voice.

And then the vacuum left, and the air I had been fighting for filled my chest as I gasped loudly and bent over. Krit was holding me against him as me muttered sweet things over and over while he rocked me back and forth.

“Take him out of here,” Matty said.

I couldn’t look up to see who he was talking to, but I grabbed Krit’s arms to hold onto him in case they were talking about him.

“Not me, baby. I’m not leaving you,” he said as his hand began running down my hair as if he were petting me. “Not going anywhere.”

“When Krit is sure she’s okay, he is going to beat the motherfucking hell out of you. Go with Legend and let him calm down first.”

Jason’s had enough of living in his rock star brother’s shadow. So when he sets off to Sea Breeze, Alabama, he’s looking for a much deserved escape and a chance to blow of some envious steam. But falling for the local bad girl was definitely not the plan. And as the two enjoy some naughty fun in the Alabama sun, Jason learns that though Jax is the musician in the family, he too can just as easily rock someone’s world.

*****

Review – Now Jess wasn’t a character I didn’t think I would like but I did like her once I was in her head and Jason I love him he was stupid at times but I still loved him . So Jess and Jason meet in a very interesting way Jess was just done bashing her ex’s car and she was running with a bat and she sees a car and that’s how Jason and Jess meet and ever since then he couldn’t stop thinking about her he also didn’t know Jess was Rock’s cousin until they all met up at Live Bay . Jess takes Jason swimming ileagly of course and then Jason takes Jess to go skinny dipping and then they hook up very nice . Jason and Jess are from two different worlds Jason is rich and Jess her mom is a stripper . But they end up breaking up after a trip to NYC and then they get back together after awhile Jess gets a job as a seamstress she likes sewing . Jason ends up seeing her at live Bay with Krit the lead singer of Jackdown and they are together I knew they wouldn’t last they just liked hooking up with each other and Krit was obsessed with sex . But after awhile Jess realizes she can’t be with Krit and then she goes back to Jason and she is happy again she finds out her mom is sick and she has to get a job as a stripper and oh god I felt so bad for her Jason and her break up and Krit and Jason end up in a fist fight and then Jason saves her and helps out they love each other when they finally say it I was crying so hard . I loved this one and I love all the gilmore girls comparisons from Jess’s mom oh and I hated Jason’s mom what a bitch she tried to pay Jess to stay away from her son I would punch her in the face still a great story .

Quotes-

Either you two go to your room , or i’m going to throw ice water on you both , I told them.

“If guys don’t open doors for you, then they aren’t worth your time.

Krit’s gonna go apeshit,
Dewayne said in a singsong voice
Shut him up , I whispered to Rock.

Wanna dance ? I asked
No , Rock answered for him .
Hell yes , Dewayne replied
Stand up and I’ll make you sit down ,
Rock warned him.
Dewayne just laughed and took a drink.
What are you doing , Jess ? Rock asked
Drinking , then dancing , I replied with a smile I didn’t feel.
It’s not like you , he replied .
No. It’s exactly like me . This is me , Rock. I’m done pretending to be someone else . Now , Why can’t Dewayne dance with me ? I asked , turning to pout at Dewayne who looked amused. Stop flirting with Dewayne , Rock said , annoyed.
I’m enjoying it . Please , let her continue , Dewayne said.

He could teach a Seduction 101 class . Or on the fastest way to get a woman naked .
Hmm , maybe , but it’s cute , I teased .
Cute , huh ? Do I need to remind you of my sexiness ?
This time I laughed . Definitely not . I’m very aware .
Thought so . I’m hard to forget , he replied .

You’re going to kill me or drive me insane . I can’t seem to care . I’m looking forward to it , he said .

“I smashed all the windows in my ex-boyfriend’s truck.” “You did what?” I couldn’t have heard her correctly. That did not happen in real life. Country songs, yes. Real life, no way.

I had never expected to fall in love , but then , I never imagined anyone like Jess . She was one beautiful contradiction . The idea of letting someone else own my heart wasn’t appealing . It sounded weak and foolish . Something meant for the words of a song . I was wrong . When I thought about my future now , Jess was all that I could see , and that was all I needed . I couldn’t ask for more .

Book review:sometimes it lasts abbi glines

Sometimes It Lasts (Sea Breeze)Sometimes It Lasts by Abbi Glines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

June 21-23

Cage York has to choose between a love of the game and a love of the girl in this sultry Sea Breeze novel from New York Times bestselling author Abbi Glines.
After waiting for his big break, bad boy Cage York is finally called up to prove his worth in the college baseball arena. But when Cage’s girlfriend, Eva, mourns the sudden loss of her father, it’s not Cage’s comforting arms she runs to, but those of her former fiancé’s twin brother, Jeremy.

Torn between his baseball dream and the girl of his dreams, Cage must prove he’s worthy of Eva’s love, or risk losing her to Jeremy forever.

Review- This book frustrated me more than any of the ones in the series I still loved it but it made my head hurt at times or I was yelling at the book . So we are back with Eva and Cage and as happy as I was about that WHY THE HELL DID THEY HAVE TO BREAK UP ? I mean really and the stupid baseball guys were douchbags who sets someone up for that it was stupid cause they were so happy . Cage got a scholarship they were all set to go then the father gets cancer she has to go home and take care of him and she knows Cage has to go to school. But then she gets a text that wasn’t from him and I knew that roommate was going to be a problem Cage threatened him Cage visits Eva and it’s all good and then someone sends Eva something bad and I was swear I did not see that coming when she got these pics and video of Cage doing things sexual but it was all a set up damn assholes. And then Eva finds out she’s pregnant gets engaged to Jeremy the father dies she’s having a girl (Bliss) when Cage and Eva broke it I cried big fat tears this book was amazing when Cage found out about the baby he left school he wanted to prove to Eva that he was all in the whole engagement to Jeremy didn’t make sense I mean he had a thing for her since he was five but they never kissed during this engagement they were meant to be friends that’s it . when the baby kicks for Cage so cute I loved it so they end the engagement and Cage is doing nice things for Eva and they flirt and do things for each other and when they got back together and then he proposes eeek so cute . I was so happy and Low and Marcus are having a baby boy Eli so cute and then cage and Eva get married it was such a good continue of Cage and Eva .

Quotes –
Maybe he hadn’t seen me studying his ass like I wanted a bite . Because we both knew I was a fan of his backside

I’d hug you , But i gotta go work with your man today , and he’s watching me right now like he might need to come up here and beat my ass at any second .

Listen , bitch the only white trash in this room is the one who slept with a married man . An old married man at that . You call my man one more name and I will knock those ridiculously high heels out from under you. So back the hell off before you end up on you ass .

You need to run. Your ass may be bigger than me, but I can use a gun real damn good. So you’ve been warned. I’m coming after your motherfucking ass and I intend to put a bullet between your eyes.”

“Because I love you more than any goddamn thing on this fucking planet, I’m gonna let you have one more day. You just lost your daddy, and I’ll never forgive my- self for not being here with you. I’ll live my life regretting it. But I’ll be back. You’re mine, Eva Brooks. Always. You told me that yourself and, sweetheart, I’m holding you to it.

I worship the ground Eva walks on. I love her smile. I love the way she gets in a snit and her lips get all pinched up. I love the way she thinks she has to cook for me. I love the fact that she lets me butter her biscuit. I love the way she curls into me at night and lets me hold her. I also love how perfect it is when I’m making love to her. How I feel complete.”

Jeremy brought you halfway, but the rest is mine. I’ve had you the rest of the way.” He said as Jeremy handed me over and pressed a kiss to my cheek.
I looked up at Cage as he tucked my arm into his and bestowed me with one of his soul-stealing grins. “It’s time we start our always, Eva.”
I turned to face him. I stood on my tiptoes and pressed a kiss to his lips. Then I whispered, “We already have. We’ve been working on our always since you walked into my world with a cocky swagger and a smile.”

Book review: just for now Abbi glines

Just for Now (Sea Breeze, #4)Just for Now by Abbi Glines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

June 20-21

An insatiable attraction heats to the boiling point in this steamy book set in the shore town of Sea Breeze from the author of the white-hot The Vincent Boys.

Preston is one bad boy. And Amanda has harbored a crush on him for forever. When she finally makes her move on him, it does not end well. But still, she can’t resist him. Especially now that he seems to be pursuing her, too.

No one wants wants them to be together. Not Amanda’s brother Marcus, who is on the verge of his marriage to Low, and definitely not any of Preston’s buddies. They know way too much about Preston’s dark side. Even Preston realizes he’s not good enough for someone like her.

But Amanda believes there is more to Preston than his bad boy persona, and she is determined to unearth what he’s hiding behind his seductive blue eyes—secrets that could explain his actions. Secrets Amanda might not be able to forgive.

Yet the dangerous attraction persists…and neither Preston nor Amanda is going to deny it

Review – Okay this is the one that had me on the edge of my seat the most okay So Amanda and Preston Hook up HOLY SHIT okay so Preston was drunk and they hooked up in the back of the club oh my god I was freaking out . And then Preston started having dreams of Amanda cause he’s been attracted to her for awhile . Amanda has been in love with Preston since she was sixteen and he didn’t even kiss her during sex oh my god I was freaking out . And Marcus and Low are engaged oh my god so happy for them . So Preston is a gigolo so he can pay for his siblings cause his mother is useless and if wanted to take them he couldn’t anyway . Amanda and him flirt allot and at allot of points I was like just be together damn it and when daisy his sister gets really sick and has to be taken to the hospitable Amanda steps in to help . And oh god I was so worried so when they have sex again this time it was way differnt and when Marcus found out I was so sure he was going to kill him all he did was punch him allot Amanda of course has been off limits best friends sister yeah probably shouldn’t go there but he did and all of his friends are like body guards for Amanda . When Amanda finds out he’s a gigolo she is so mad so upset there done when she gets a call from one of his brothers and the mother is dead and Preston didn’t get the call cause he was sleeping during the day cause he got a job as a bouncer Rock helped him get the job .

Quotes-
He ain’t planning on talking to you. He’s planning on whooping your ass and then locking his sister up in her bedroom for the rest of her life . I just hope he ain’t got a gun on him.

“Hearts don’t realize they’ve been lied to. They still love anyway.

Book review : while it lasts abbi glines

While it Lasts (Sea Breeze)While it Lasts by Abbi Glines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

June 18-20

Cage brings his playboy prowess to the countryside as the Sea Breeze hookups continue, from self-published phenomenon Abbi Glines.
Low broke Cage’s heart by getting with Marcus in Because of Low. Cage went into a tailspin that ended in a DUI. In order to salvage his baseball scholarship—the one thing he truly valued besides Low—Cage must take a summer job. At a farm. Away from Sea Breeze. With lots of cows, but no hot girls. Maybe that’s what Cage needs to get back on track.

But wait—there’s that hostile daughter of the farm boss. She’s pretty and occasionally sweet, and there seems to be a lot of sadness and mystery behind her anger. Cage is dying to strip her down—physically and mentally—in the back of the barn. But is he prepared for what will happen afterward?

Review- I loved this one I have a thing for bad boys yes Cage york is a big bad boy when he get’s a DUI and is sent with the country and meets Eva who hates him . Eva has been through allot her fiance / best friend was killed in the war and oh my god that letter he sent her made me sob so hard. Her and Cage have a love hate relationship they end up doing allot more than flirting in the lake oh my shit who knew a nipple ring was a thing I would find attractive 😉 when Eva gets freaking drunk one night she sleeps in Cage’s bed . Eva knows she has to go on with her life she took off her ring Jeremy her fiance twin is moving away she starts using her jeep she starts playing her guitar and everyone keeps telling her that Cage isn’t the type she should be with she ends up sleeping with him and her father threatens him and he has to leave everyone is wondering why Cage is so upset Low tells him to fight for her he goes back to her house Eva thought he just left but he says he loves her but she just stood there OH MY GOD EVA and then when Cage is about to leave the bar there is Eva singing him a song and I loved this book so much Eva and Cage are so cute . And in the End when she wrote that letter to Josh I was balling my eyes such a good ending .

Quotes-
Only problem with talking about licking with you is that it gives me ideas . I start thinking about things I shouldn’t be thinking about . Things that will only torment me ’cause I’ll never know just how sweet you taste . I ma be a lot of things , Eva may even be a few of them names you called me , but i’m not going touch what belongs to another man.

If you really want to talk about licking , I’ll happily oblige

Really ? well , thank you. I was under the impression you wouldn’t spit on me if I was on fire .

An Engaged lady shouldn’t be looking at another man like she wants to take a lick

“You see somethin’ ya want, baby?”
“Maybe. I’m checking things out. Seeing if I’m interested,” I shot back with my own evil grin.
“I see something I want,” he drawled as he came toward me.
“You do?”
“Hell yeah, I do,” he murmured. “I love chocolate.” What? My excitement turned to confusion. His arm reached out beside me and took the piece of chocolate cake I’d brought him.”

“You are such a bad boy.” She tugged on the hair that brushed my collar.
“I can be real bad. You haven’t seen anything yet,” I murmured, bending my head so I could take a nip at the soft skin at the back of her neck.
“I’m not sure I could keep up with you. I’m extremely inexperienced. We are in completely different planets when it comes to sexual experience,” her breathing was labored as I licked and kissed different sweet spots on her shoulders and collarbone.
“I didn’t say anything about sex, Eva,” I grinned before kissing her jawline. “You’re the naughty one who brought up sex.”

I understood that pain was real and sometimes things didn’t last. Sometimes you just had to enjoy it while it lasts and cherish it when it’s gone.”

Book Review: Because of Low abbi glines

Because of Low (Sea Breeze, #2)Because of Low by Abbi Glines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

June 17-19
It’s steamy in the Gulf town of Sea Breeze. Physical attraction is the only way to beat the heat in this start to a series from bestselling, previously self-published author Abbi Glines.

Playboy Cage owns the apartment, and he hosts a revolving door of people, in and out, at all times. Most of them are long-legged hot girls who are never there more than a night or two. When Cage’s new roommate, Marcus, enters the picture, he’s just looking to nurse a broken heart. But there’s one particular semi-frequent regular who catches his eye.

Willow—“Low”—is the one Cage wants to marry. But the two of them are night and day, and Marcus can’t see how Low puts up with all of Cage’s womanizing. What she really needs is a real man….like good-looking and sensible Marcus. But that’s going to get real complicated and real messy—real fast.

Book review- This one is my favorite so far I loved hearing more about Marcus Hardy *Swoon* Marcus has come home because of family problems his dad cheated on his mom with a younger woman he works with . He’s living with a guy who sleeps with allot of woman Cage is an interesting Character Then we meet Low cage’s best friend who he tells people he’s going to marry her she comes to the apartment crying and she always sleeps in cage’s bed but she’s not attracted to him . Marcus likes low and one day when Low is watching Larrissa who is adorable Marcus kisses her awww and then they go out on a date and this girl jess is always causing problems but Low does tell her off finally . Marcus brings Low to meet his mom and his dad didn’t show of course cause he’s a dick and Low was very good with them all I hated Low’s sister she was a bitch and the baby daddy was twice her age . There was this scene where Low and marcus were getting very hot and heavy very nice *fan self* and he was doing something in the shower and low saw oh my freaking god . I really thought Cage was going to kill marcus when he found out but he didn’t I love Marcus and Low together they are good for each other but holy shit I did not see this coming Low’s sister is with Marcus’s dad which Makes Larrisa Amanda and Marcus’s sister ,holy shit and she goes to the house and comforts them and Marcus comes over and he thought she knew the entire time and broke up . Oh god so bad Low gets really sad but Marcus father tells him she didn’t know and Marcus goes to low and she forgives him but she can’t put her heart through that again I can see where she’s coming from . But Cage tells low to give him another chance and Marcus leaves Low a vintage concert t-shirt awww so sweet and then they get back together and make love and I loved this book so much .

Quotes-

I love you.” My heart almost stopped beating in my chest.
She hadn’t spoken those words since the last time I held her in my arms.
“And you did leave me. But… but you came back. No one’s ever come back. They leave me and that’s it. They want to leave me. You didn’t. And you came back.” I wanted to stand up and reach across the table and jerk her into my arms but I wasn’t sure I could stand up just yet. I needed to hear everything she had to say.
“Yes, I came back. My heart never left you.”
“I miss you.”
This time I stood up and walked around the table.
“I miss you. Every second of every day,” I whispered. Her eyes followed me until I was inches from her.
“I trust you.”
I needed more than that.
“You trust me,” I repeated.
She nodded and her hand came up and caressed the side of my arm.
“I want to try again.”
Those were the words I needed to hear.”

Marcus , Please . The hand froze . I opened my eyes and started directly up into Cage’s face . Did you just call me Marcus ?

Marcus Hardy was straight out of those gushy romance novels .

I’m not done here . I’m just beginning , Low . But I couldn’t walk away again without that kiss.

Book Review: Breathe abbi glines

Breathe (Sea Breeze #1)Breathe by Abbi Glines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

June 15-17
Sadie White’s summer job is at the beach, but she won’t be working as a lifeguard. Since her mom is pregnant and refuses to work, Sadie will be taking over as a domestic servant for a wealthy family on a nearby island.

When the family arrives at their summer getaway, Sadie is surprised to learn that the owner of the house is Jax Stone, one of the hottest teen rockers in the world. If Sadie were normal—if she hadn’t spent her life raising her mother and taking care of the house—maybe she’d be excited about working for a rock star. But she’s not.

Even though Sadie isn’t impressed by Jax’s fame, he is drawn to her. Everything about Sadie fascinates Jax, but he fights his attraction: Relationships never work in his world, and as badly as he wants Sadie, he believes she deserves more. Yet as the summer stretches on, Jax’s passion leaves him breathless—and Sadie feels like the only source of oxygen.

Can their love overcome the disparity in their lifestyles? One breath at a time, they’re going to find out.

Review – I loved this book this story was so cute this book is about Sadie and because her pregnant mother can’t work she takes a job to work in a famous teen stars home . Jax can’t wait to get away from the spotlight for a few months and then he meets sadie and he can’t stay away no matter how he tries . There were allot of characters I loved Marcus *swoon alert* those Alabama boys 😉 and right when Marcus is about to ask Saddie out Jax comes out and offers her a ride and she goes with him she knows it won’t last but it doesn’t stop her heart and how she feels about Jax . Saddie meets a new friend Amanda who turns out to be Marcus’s younger sister . when Jax takes Sadie out to there own private movie things get allot hot and heavy wow 😉 when Marcus tells her about Jax’s “girlfriend” she gets upset and then Marcus kisses her HOLY CRAP ! I thought Sadie and Marcus would be good together if jax didn’t exist but you can’t help who you fall for other characters I loved were Marcus’s friend Preston who was obviously hitting on Sadie allot and Marcus would usually punch him LOL . And Mrs . Marry who was mostly a mother figure to Sadie . When Sadie and Jax go to a party and then go back to his room and it gets hot and heavy again wow *blushes * oh and when they shower together wow that was wow and when they finally have sex it was so beautiful but sexy . When people find out about Sadie and Jax they break up and Sadie goes into a depression her mom has the baby Sam and her mom oh my god she wouldn’t even hold him Sadie ends up falling on her bike and cracking her head cause she was over exerting herself Jax sings her out of her coma mostly and he shows up at homecoming I loved it so cute .

Quotes-

“You’re with me, Sadie. When you’re off the clock, you’re not my employee. You’re my.. Air.”
I frowned at him. “Your air?”
He grinned. “Well, girlfriend seems to be a shallow word for what I feel for you..”

“If hearts could shatter, mine just did.”

I was going to cheat and pull down the fender stratocaster original over there and play you one of my number ones . See if I could get you to become putty in my hands, or at least throw your panties at me .

You’re everything I write about in my songs but can never have .

Any girl in a ten-mile radius is going to stare you down if you wear if. It’s impossible not to. A huge grin broke across his face. So does this mean you like me in this shirt ? I sighed and sat up a little straighter . I’m mature for my age , Jax not blind .

Book Review: We should hang out sometime Embarrassingly , a true story by Josh Sundquist

We Should Hang Out Sometime: Embarrassingly, a True StoryWe Should Hang Out Sometime: Embarrassingly, a True Story by Josh Sundquist
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

June 10-14

A bright, poignant, and deeply funny autobiographical account of coming of age as an amputee cancer survivor, from Josh Sundquist: Paralympic ski racer, YouTube star, and motivational speaker.

Josh Sundquist only ever had one girlfriend.
For twenty-three hours.
In eighth grade.

Why was Josh still single? To find out, he tracked down the girls he had tried to date and asked them straight up: What went wrong?

The results of Josh’s semiscientific, wholly hilarious investigation are captured here. From a disastrous Putt-Putt date involving a backward prosthetic foot, to his introduction to CFD (Close Fast Dancing), to a misguided “grand gesture” at a Miss America pageant, this story is about looking for love–or at least a girlfriend–in all the wrong places.

Review- I really loved this book I thought it was really funny it made me laugh many times . I sometimes read nonfiction but what I loved about this it just felt like a story not about someone’s life I did love the parts with graphs and when he would go back and talk to the girls of the failed relationships. I read this with audiobook so it was the experience even more better everyone should read it . And I love the line we should hang out sometime .And I could understand what Josh was going through see I have a learning difference and no way am I comparing loosing a limb to a learning difference it’s just I understand how people act when they learn that one thing about you.

Favorite Quotes-
Sometimes the best moments are the spontaneous ones you don’t plan for.

Too late , already worried .
That’s because you haven’t heard about my boots yet .
um , what i’ve got a pair of steel-toed boots under my bunk bed in my door , explained kyle . The next time you see Lily , if you don’t have have a DTR , I am going to put on those boots and I am going to kick you as hard as I possibly can in your balls.
excuse me ?
You heard me .
You’re serious ?
in your balls.
Steel ?
Yes , it’s an iron alloy. I’m sure you’ve heard of it.
Are you joking ?
Do I look like I’m joking ?
He doesn’t look like he joking , interjected Brad .
Did I mention I was the starting forward of my high school soccer team ? Asked Kyle . I’ve got a mean left foot .
The next time I see her ?
or else .
Dude…. I said , incredulous
Steel . Your balls . Think about .
I sighed , surrendering . Okay , you leave me no other
choice . Next time I see her it is .
You do that , my boots stay under my bed .
Thanks , I guess ?
What else are friends for ?

But when you’re faced with a significantly life- altering negative situation you can’t control , you grasp at the little things you can control . The little opportunities where you can make choices for yourself.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

May 1- June 4

There’s death all around us.
We just don’t pay attention.
Until we do.

The last time Lex was happy, it was before. When she had a family that was whole. A boyfriend she loved. Friends who didn’t look at her like she might break down at any moment.

Now she’s just the girl whose brother killed himself. And it feels like that’s all she’ll ever be.

As Lex starts to put her life back together, she tries to block out what happened the night Tyler died. But there’s a secret she hasn’t told anyone-a text Tyler sent, that could have changed everything.

Lex’s brother is gone. But Lex is about to discover that a ghost doesn’t have to be real to keep you from moving on.

Review- This book was a beautiful take on a girl who has to deal with the aftermath of her brothers suicide Lex use to be happy she use to have a great boyfriend but after Ty died she had a hole in her chest she felt guilty her mom can’t take Ty being dead she keeps telling Lex her life is over and then Ty appears to Lex in her dreams and kind of like a ghost . When Lex finds a letter from Ty to his ex girlfriend Ashley Lex doesn’t know what to do she starts talking to Ty’s friend Damien who I knew right away would be into her before Steven and Lex started dating she revived a paper flower which then we find out was from Damien so sweet but she rejects him and she worries he is going to do something to himself cause he wrote this poem and before Patrick another one of ty’s friend killed himself Lex keeps seeing ty she ends up yelling at him once but in the end she gives Steven her journal to show him she got into MIT WOW and she finally got to say goodbye to Ty great book loved it .
Quotes –
“There’s death all around us. Everywhere we look. 1.8 people kill themselves every second. We just don’t pay attention. Until we do.”

This is going to sound trite, I suppose, but you never know when it’s going to be the last time. That you hug someone. That you kiss. That you say goodbye

People kept saying, ‘It’s going to be all right.’ That’s what they told me, over and over and over, like Don’t you worry, little girl, it will all be okay, because there’s got to be some bullshit overall rule of the universe that no matter what happens, no matter how bad it gets, everything will be all right in the end.”

“Yeah,” I murmur.

“And you know what I kept thinking? I kept thinking, That is a fucking lie. It is not going to be all right. It will never be all right, ever, ever again. So stop fucking lying to me.”

“Forgiveness is tricky, Alexis, because in the end it’s more about you than it is about the person who’s being forgiven.”

Summary
The heart-stopping conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Shatter Me series, which Ransom Riggs, author of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children and Hollow City, called “a thrilling, high-stakes saga of self-discovery and forbidden love.”

With Omega Point destroyed, Juliette doesn’t know if the rebels, her friends, or even Adam are alive. But that won’t keep her from trying to take down The Reestablishment once and for all. Now she must rely on Warner, the handsome commander of Sector 45. The one person she never thought she could trust. The same person who saved her life. He promises to help Juliette master her powers and save their dying world . . . but that’s not all he wants with her.

Review- OKAY DON’T TOUCH ME AFTER READING THIS BOOK this book was my favorite of the series many reasons *cough* WARNER . Okay so this book was crazy so omega point has been destroyed and Juliette is thinking all her friends are dead and Warner takes her to where omega point once stood kenji is there holy crap was I so happy he was there and that he wasn’t dead . So the only people living are Kenji , Adam , James , Winston , Brendon , Lily , Castle , Allia , and Ian . The rest were killed so Kenji starts to break down and Juliette picks him up oh my god one of my favorite scenes. He takes her to Adam’s old place and I despised Adam in this book he was a freaking jackass so Juliette wants to fight and Adam thinks it’s a loss cause and then warner shows up and Adam flips out. And Warner we know he’s in love with Juliette but she doesn’t want to admit she’s in love with him she’s attracted to him many times she would just stare at him one time he was in just a towel *BLUSHES* oh god so warner makes an offer to kenji and is like come with us and we will all fight against the reestablishment and Anderson and he doesn’t agree at first but then he does . Kenji asks Juliette why she likes Warner cause he really wants to know I loved there friendship in this book there was this one scene where Juliette was just looking at warner working out I was laughing cause Kenji is like you have probably seen him in less and oh god this guy has an amazing closest . so Warner tells Juliette so everything I told you was a lie I didn’t want to use you as weapon I wanted to study you cause my mother is very sick and they have a similar ability except his mother is more extreme she can’t even touch herself so sad . And Juliette doesn’t even know what to do with that then we find out where his scars come from his father whipped him holy shit what a bastard . So Adam was such a jerk to Juliette in this book she yells at him many times one time when kenji finally convinced adam to come with them it was so bad cause he was becoming phically abusive holy shit adam shut the hell up and I just wanted Juliette to just be with Warner at this point . But Adam made Kenji and Juliette touch WTF dude but then we find out she can control her touch and it was amazing then she goes to warner and she finally admits she loves him and then they have sexy fun times . Oh god so amazing oh the scene Warner finds out that Adam and him are related oh god I was so sure Warner was going to kill Adam cause Adam said his fathers name and Warner thought he was a spy but Juliette is like no you guys are brothers I don’t know how they are going to break that to James I did like when James and warner first met so cute I loved the scene where she killed Anderson so badass and then she is in charge now and it ended so nice with just her and warner on the roof so cute I loved this series so much amazing ending Warnette for life .
Quotes-
Words, I think, are such unpredictable creatures.
No gun, no sword, no army or king will ever be more powerful than a sentence. Swords may cut and kill, but words will stab and stay, burying themselves in our bones to become corpses we carry into the future, all the time digging and failing to rip their skeletons from our flesh.”

You’re not attracted to him ?
I’m attracted to you .
I’m serious , he says
so an I .
Warner’s still staring at me . He blinks, once
Don’t you believe me ? I ask .
He looks away .
Can’t you tell ? I ask him . Can’t you feel it ?
And I am either losing my mind or Warner just blushed

I don’t think I’ve ever been more attracted to him in all the time I’ve known him.
kenji pulls up next to me . Nods at warner . So this gets you going , huh ?
I’m mortified.
Kenji barks out a laugh.
I’ve never seen him in sweatpants before . I try to sound normal . I’ve never seen him in shorts . Kenji raises an eyebrow at me . I bet you’ve seen him in less.
I want to die

I’m not falling for Warner , I say quietly
sure you aren’t
I’m not , I insist . I’m just-I don’t know . I sight I don’t know what’s happening to me .
They’re called hormones .
I shoot him a dirty look . I’m serious.
Me too. He cocks his head at me me . That’s like biological and shit . Scientific . Maybe your lady bits are scientifically confused . My lady bits ?
oh I’m sorry- Kenji pretends to look offended – would you rather I use he proper anatomical terminology ? cause you lady bits do not scare me .

So smooth , Lilly says to Kenji , and realize it’s the first time I’ve really heard her speak . I bet you win over all the eligible woman by telling them they’re like sister to you. I bet the ladies are just lining up to jump into bed with your punkass.
Rude . Kenji crosses his arms .
James is laughing . You see what I have to deal with ? Kenji says to him. There’re so love for Kenji . I give and I give and I give , and get nothing in return . I need a woman who will appreciate all of this he says , gesturing to the length of his body.

there’s a strange kind of freedom in the dark ; a terrifying venerability we allow ourselves at exactly the wrong moment , tricked by the darkness into thinking it will keep our secrets . We forget that the blackness is not not a blanket ; we forget that the sun will soon rise . But in the moment , at least we feel brave enough to say things we’d never say in the light

“Why do you call her ‘love’?” James asks. “I’ve heard you say that before, too. A lot. Are you in love with her? I think Adam’s in love with her. Kenji’s not in love with her, though. I already asked him.”
Warner blinks at him.
“Well?” James asks.
“Well what?”
“Are you in love with her?”
“Are you in love with her?”
“What?” James blushes. “No. She’s like a million years older than me.”
“Would anyone else like to take over this conversation?” Warner asks, looking around the group.”

“And we are quotation marks, inverted and upside down, clinging to one another at the end of this life sentence. Trapped by lives we did not choose.”

Are you out of your goddamn mind? You think we can take on two hundred soldiers? I know I am an extremely attractive man, J, but I am not Bruce Lee.”
“Who’s Bruce Lee?”
“Who’s Bruce Lee?” Kenji asks, horrified. “Oh my God. We can’t even be friends anymore.”
“Why? Was he a friend of yours?”
“You know what,” he says, “just stop. Just—I can’t even talk to you right now.”

The tattoo is just setting below his hp bone.
H e l l i s e m p t y
a n d a l l t h e d e v i l s a r e h e r e

I kiss my way across the words.
Kissing away the devils.
Kissing away the pain.”

You’re a coward,” he whispers. “You want to be with me and it terrifies you. And you’re ashamed,” he says. “Ashamed you could ever want someone like me. Aren’t you?” He drops his gaze and his nose grazes mine and I can almost count the millimeters between our lips. I’m struggling to focus, trying to remember that I’m mad at him, mad about something, but his mouth is right in front of mine and my mind can’t stop trying to figure out how to shove aside the space between us.
“You want me,” he says softly, his hands moving up my back, “and it’s killing you.”
I jerk backward, breaking away, hating my body for reacting to him, for falling apart like this. My joints feel flimsy, my legs have lost their bones. I need oxygen, need a brain, need to find my lungs—
“You deserve so much more than charity,” he says, his chest heaving. “You deserve to live. You deserve to be alive.” He’s staring at me, unblinking.
“Come back to life, love. I’ll be here when you wake up.”

“Stop.
Stop time.
Stop the world.
Stop everything for the moment he crosses the room and pulls me into his arms and pins me against the wall and I’m spinning and standing and not even breathing but I’m alive so very very alive.

“When are you putting me down?” he counters, no longer amused. “I mean, I’ve got an excellent view of your ass from here, but if you don’t mind me staring -”
I drop him without thinking.
“Goddammit, Juliette – what the hell -”
“How’s the view from down there?” I stand over his splayed body, arms crossed over my chest.
“I hate you.”

Book Review: unravel me Tahereh Mafi

Unravel Me (Shatter Me, #2)Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

May 24-28

Summary-
Juliette is still haunted by her deadly touch. But now that she has teamed up with other rebels with powers of their own, she’ll be able to fight back against The Reestablishment to save her broken world. With the help of these new allies, she’ll also finally learn the secret behind Adam’s—and Warner’s—immunity to her killer skin.

Unravel Me is perfect for fans who crave action-packed young adult novels with tantalizing romance like Divergent by Veronica Roth, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and Legend by Marie Lu. Ransom Riggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, raves: “A thrilling, high-stakes saga of self-discovery and forbidden love, the Shatter Me series is a must-read for fans of dystopian young-adult literature—or any literature!”

Review – okay so this book was amazing crazy I laughed and cried and I’m officially TEAM WARNER just the feels are so real I hated him in the first book in the novella I was like aww but in this book holy crap. So we first start out with Juliette feeling sorry for herself I think I like Kenji way more now because he is like stop feeling sorry for yourself you aren’t the only person with problems . . I was like yeah you tell her Kenji and Kenji his lines he says have literately had me laughing for minutes. So we find out that Adam his power he can turn off powers and that he’s been weakening himself and then they get all hot and heavy one day and she hurts him he’s fine but still. There are other characters I love also Brendon winston the twins all so different but I love them . So they go out in disuse one day and Juliette is finally making friends her and Adam break up I was really unhappy at the time but now that I’m seeing it from what I know now Adam doesn’t really make her anything with him she has no backbone she doesn’t stand up for herself but with Warner she can be herself she doesn’t have to shy herself away .oh that scene with Anderson holy crap that guy is nuts and then Juliette shoots him and then Adam comes in is like that’s my father HOLY CRAP WTF adam and warner are related wow that’s crazy they take warner with them as hostage and oh Anderson took Brendon and Winston doochebag we also found out Warner’s first name AAron . okay so can we talk about the scene where warner showed Juliette his tatto not the ignite one the Shakespeare one holy crap that was oh my god so intimate . oh and chapter 62 wow what the hell that is so freaking hot and then juliette has to mess it up he was like I want you to call me Aaron now I was crying at that point he is opening up to her and what and then he sneaks out and the war has started and she gets taken and anderson shoots her holy shit the twins heal her though warner oh god this book was amazing I love this series I’m on the last one .
Favorite Quotes-
It’s always ‘Shut up, Kenji.’ ‘Go to sleep, Kenji.’ ‘No one wants to see you naked, Kenji.’ When I know for a fact that there are thousands of people who would love to see me naked—

I want to be the friend you fall hopelessly in love with. The one you take into your arms and into your bed and into the private world you keep trapped in your head. I want to be that kind of friend. The one who will memorize the things you say as well as the shape of your lips when you say them. I want to know every curve, every freckle, every shiver of your body.

I want to know where to touch you, I want to know how to touch you. I want to know convince you to design a smile just for me. Yes, I do want to be your friend. I want to be your best friend in the entire world.

“I want so many things,” he whispers. “I want your mind. Your strength. I want to be worth your time.” His fingers graze the hem of my top and he says “I want this up.” He tugs on the waist of my pants and says “I want these down.” He touches the tips of his fingers to the sides of my body and says, “I want to feel your skin on fire. I want to feel your heart racing next to mine and I want to know it’s racing because of me, because you want me. Because you never,” he says, he breathes, “never want me to stop. I want every second. Every inch of you. I want all of it.”

Jesus , he gasps , jumping away from me . I’m very flattered , love, but you could’ve given me a chance to put my pants on .
307

So what’s up with your suit ? I ask him .
What do you mean , what’s up with it ? He frowns he runs his hands down his outfit . This suit is badass .
I bite back a smile . I just meant , why are you wearing a suit ? Why do you get one and Adam doesn’t ?
He shrugs . Adam doesn’t need one . Few people do – it all depends on what kind of gift we have . For me , this suit makes my life a hell of a lot easier . I don’t always use it , but when I need to get serious about a mission , it really helps . Like , when I need to blend into a background , he explains , it’s less complicated if I’m shifting one solid color- hence the black . And if I have too many layers and too many extra pieces floating around my body , I have to focus that much more on making sure I blend all the details . if I’m one solid piece and one solid color , I’m a much better chameleon . Besides , he adds , stretching out the muscles in his arms , I look sexy as hell in this outfit .

Have you ever had a girlfriend Kenji ?
what ? He looks mortally offended . Do I look like the kind of guy who’s never had a girlfriend ? Have you even met me ?

Book Review: Destroy me Tahereh Mafi

Destroy Me (Shatter Me, #1.5)Destroy Me by Tahereh Mafi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

May 24-24

Perfect for the fans of Shatter Me who are desperately awaiting the release of Unravel Me, this novella-length digital original will bridge the gap between these two novels from the perspective of the villain we all love to hate, Warner, the ruthless leader of Sector 45.

In Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me, Juliette escaped from The Reestablishment by seducing Warner—and then putting a bullet in his shoulder. But as she’ll learn in Destroy Me, Warner is not that easy to get rid of. . .

Back at the base and recovering from his near-fatal wound, Warner must do everything in his power to keep his soldiers in check and suppress any mention of a rebellion in the sector. Still as obsessed with Juliette as ever, his first priority is to find her, bring her back, and dispose of Adam and Kenji, the two traitors who helped her escape. But when Warner’s father, The Supreme Commander of The Reestablishment, arrives to correct his son’s mistakes, it’s clear that he has much different plans for Juliette. Plans Warner simply cannot allow.

Set after Shatter Me and before its forthcoming sequel, Unravel Me, Destroy Me is a novella told from the perspective of Warner, the ruthless leader of Sector 45

Review – I really liked this novella I liked being in warner’s head he is very crazy at times but I think it’s cause of how he was raised his father is crazier . Do you remember the scene where he shot that guy in the head well it turns out he was beating his family and Warner shot the guy wow I didn’t see that coming .I really enjoyed this he really cares for Juliette in his own way I can’t wait to see what happens in unravel me .

Quote-
A girl who spent the last year in an insane asylum .
A girl who would would try to shoot me dead for kissing her . A girl who ran away with another man just to get away from me .
of course this is girl I would fall for .

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Summary-
Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days.

The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.

The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war – and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now.

Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS !

Review – Wow everyone talked about this book and I had tried to read it many times but just wasn’t in the mood so one night at 2 am I started to read it and was hooked I couldn’t stop reading this story . Juliette has been locked in an asylum alone cause when she touches people they get hurt so one day they give her a roommate a boy a boy she remember from school Adam Kent I loved Adam and Juliette they spend days together but she tells him that he can’t touch her but doesn’t give him a reason . Juliette has this journal where she keeps her feelings I’M NOT INSANE I’M NOT INSANE was one of them she screams awake allot and then one day she gets taken by Soldiers and she meets Warner a crazy 19 year old boy who fascinates me and Adam is one of the soldiers I was like what Warner wants Juliette to be his weapon for the reestablishment . I loved the writing in the book it was so poetic . Adam is in charge of taking care of Juliette she doesn’t understand she likes Adam but doesn’t want to hurt him cause of her touch . Warner uses Juliette he makes her use her touch on someone he shot a guy he’s so crazy . Adam tells Juliette he can touch her how is he immune to her touch I still don’t understand that they want to get out he joined this so he could find her the scene in the shower wow that’s hot and he has the tattoo of the bird she dreamed about and he also dreamed about it how ? they plan to get out of here one day after Juliette and Adam were making out and Warner comes in he rips he dress and Adam points a gun to his head oh god they get out of there but Warner touched her how are two guys immune to her touch what ? they go to a safe place and we meet Adam’s younger brother James who I love also then we find Kenji has end up at Adam’s door I didn’t like him at first but I grew to like him he stays with James until Adam and Juliette can find a car but Adam gets shot and Warner finds Juliette and she notices his gun they end up kissing which was interesting and she shot him found Adam by using her power cut him down and they got the hell out of there Kenji brought them all to a safe place and this place has people with differnt powers Kenji he can make himself invisible wow and there is this British guy who can electrocute Adam is fine they are safe but they are going to war I loved this book I can’t wait to know what happens next .
Quotes –
I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.

The moon is a loyal companion.
It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.
Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.”

Raindrops are my only reminder that clouds have a heartbeat. That I have one, too.”

Girls are always talking about electricity in their romance, but none are too happy to actually be electrocuted, apparently. Bloody confusing, is what it is.”

This must be difficult for you.
Excuse me ?
Looking at my face . Realizing I was right you made the wrong decision . “He shrugs . “I understand . I’m not a proud man , you know . I’d be willing to forgive you.
I gape at him unsure whether to laugh or throw something. Don’t make me touch you. He shakes his head . It’s incredible how someone can look so right and feel so wrong . Kent is a lucky bastard.

This review contains spoilers !

Review- This book was amazing I loved it , it had so many messages in this this book it did have a perks of being a wallflower feel . So this is a book about Ari he’s a very angry character so one summer when he goes to the pool he meets Dante who offers to teach him how to swim I loved these two characters so Ari and Dante start hanging out these two boys are very different but I loved them so much I also loved the families of these two boys . Ari doesn’t understand his father cause he really doesn’t talk he wants to get to know him but doesn’t know how his brother is in prison and no one will talk about it Dante loves drawing and he’s a very caring person and then the accident holy crap Ari saves Dante from getting hit by a car I mean who does that Ari’s legs get run over and he doesn’t want to talk about the accident . Dante gives Ari his sketchpad I thought that was sweet but Ari doesn’t want to look at it I never understood that weird Dante is going to be moving away for 9 months cause his dad got this job offer Dante sends Ari this letters and in one of them he tells Ari he’s gay and he doesn’t know how to tell his dad cause he doesn’t want to disappoint him . When Dante comes back Dante gets beat up for kissing a boy what a couple of douchebags and then Ari finds the guy and punches him . Dante kisses Ari as an experiment Ari says it doesn’t work for him total lies I mean you don’t kiss guys back your not into or in general if your not gay . When his dad confronts Ari and says in in love with Dante Ari starts crying cause he doesn’t want to admit it but we all know he is so after bowling one night he and dante go look at the stars and Dante doesn’t want to be friends with Ari cause it’s to hard cause he’s in love with him but then Ari kisses Dante I was crying at this point I loved this book so much I will be reading this book over and over again .

Quotes.
I took Dante’s hand and held it.
How could I have ever been ashamed of loving Dante Quintana ?

From the minute I’d met Dante , I had fallen in love with him . I just didn’t let myself know it , think it feel it . My father was right . And it was truth what my mother says . We all fight our own private wars.

My name’s Dante , he said. that made me laugh harder . sorry I said
it’s okay . people laugh at my name ,
No, no I said . see, it’s just that my name’s Aristotle .

there are worse things in the world than a boy who likes to kiss other boys .
