Book Review: Snow Plowed Abby Knox

Snow Plowed

Snow Plowed by Abby Knox

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


December 4

Renowned LA-based photographer Aiden had one job: spend a few weeks in a tiny Midwestern town and capture scenes of a small-town Christmas. Pretty straight-forward, until he comes across one beloved — not to mention kind, funny, sassy and beautiful — citizen who keeps dodging the camera. He’ll do everything in his power to get her attention, even if it means digging himself a hole in the snow he can’t get out of.

Snow plow driver Ruby doesn’t like having her picture taken. The sooner that flirty LA photographer gets that through his head, the better. With a big snowstorm on the way, she’s got way more urgent things on her mind than flirting or posing for silly photos. He can keep trying to get her attention and to change her mind, but unless he’s buried up to his neck in snow without a shovel, he’ll be trying for a long, long time.

This book has all the stuff of your favorite Hallmark movie — small-town Christmas with a side of fish-out-of-water and a dash of we’re-stuck-together-in-a-snowstorm — with one important difference: when these two come together it’ll knock your snow boots off!

Review: this was such a cute Christmas story I love Ruby and Aiden . Ruby is well loved in the town of Christmas and Aiden is the photographer hired to photograph Christmas and he fall for her imminently. Aiden is so sweet with Ruby and cares for her Ruby doesn’t liker her photo done cause when she was 17 boys took photos of girls and rated them. Ryby wants Aiden to take photos of her naked and then sleep with her and thats what they do. Aiden wants to move to Christmas and be with her but then something bad happens Aiden accidentally mailed Ruby nudes to LA and Aiden creepy assistant posted them on social media. He comes back to Christmas and everyone is pissed at him for Ruby but Ruby explains to the town and then they go off to have some fun. A year after they meet they get engaged loved the story .
Quotes
But better get inside now and put on snow pants. Your tender LA testicles are gonna freeze and fall off if you have to hoof it.” Before I shut my door and start the engine, I hear him shout. “What are snow pants?”

“I never cried so many happy tears until I met you, Aidan.”

Hearts are broken, lives are ruined, but if we can survive the world pulling us apart, we just might have a chance at a happily ever after.

Buckle up daddy, I’m about to be your angel.

Screw you Justin, your dad does it better

Tyler comes to see Lexi at the club she works at and they end up hooking up all weekend.

Quotes :
Tyler Phillips will ruin me. I know it, I saw it in those eyes. But I want it. I want to be ruined at his hands. Broken and remade.



I’ve had my fair share of boys and fools, and now I want a king who will take care of me in every way.


This angel walked her beautiful ass right into the demon’s lair, and this demon


You make me want to be the man you see when you look at me.”


Tyler Phillips is my new obsession. He’s the reason behind all those love song lyrics I sing without understanding. But now I finally do, they are starting to make sense.



I’m sick of men thinking they own me just because they’ve stuck their dick in me. They never have the right to touch me unless I say they do, and they need to realise that, because I’m tired of just accepting it.


Love doesn’t have an age limit, son. As long as you’re both happy and consenting, does it matter? You only get one life on this world, Tyler, don’t waste it on worrying what others will think or do. Just spend it being happy,



Hearts heal, sometimes stronger than before, sometimes as thin as paper that’s easily shredded so they have to be protected,”


Life is too short not to live in every single second of it. The good, the bad, the ugly.

Book Review: Asylum Madeleine Roux

Asylum (Asylum, #1)

Asylum by Madeleine Roux

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


October 26-29

Asylum is a thrilling and creepy photo-novel perfect for fans of the New York Times bestseller Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children.

For sixteen-year-old Dan Crawford, New Hampshire College Prep is more than a summer program—it’s a lifeline. An outcast at his high school, Dan is excited to finally make some friends in his last summer before college. But when he arrives at the program, Dan learns that his dorm for the summer used to be a sanatorium, more commonly known as an asylum. And not just any asylum—a last resort for the criminally insane.

As Dan and his new friends, Abby and Jordan, explore the hidden recesses of their creepy summer home, they soon discover it’s no coincidence that the three of them ended up here. Because the asylum holds the key to a terrifying past. And there are some secrets that refuse to stay buried.

Featuring found photos of unsettling history and real abandoned asylums and filled with chilling mystery and page-turning suspense, Madeleine Roux’s teen debut, Asylum, is a horror story that treads the line between genius and insanity.

Review : I really enjoyed this book it was a bit slow in the beginning but it was an enjoyable spooky book for the Halloween season. This is about Dan he’s in this college program he meets some new friends Jordan and Abby things start to be going well for Dan but they decided to search in this old basement at their program see the college use to be an old asylum .

Dan was looking into him and even asked this guy a Townie who did a article about the skulpter but he freaked out due to Dan name cause apparently maybe Dan’s relative was involved with the asylum and use to do experiments. It turns out Felix his roommate was the killer but this place was causing him to act crazy very weird but I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

Quotes:
I wish this were just a nightmare that we could wake up from.”

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Everyone Celaena Sardothien loves has been taken from her. But she’s at last returned to the empire—for vengeance, to rescue her once-glorious kingdom, and to confront the shadows of her past…

She has embraced her identity as Aelin Galathynius, Queen of Terrasen. But before she can reclaim her throne, she must fight.

Quotes :

Fire-breathing bitch-queen

I missed you,” he said quietly, his gaze darting between her mouth and eyes. “When I was in

Wendlyn. I lied when I said I didn’t. From the moment you left, I missed you so much I went out of my

mind. I was glad for the excuse to track Lorcan here

It’s Aelin now,” she snapped as loudly as she dared. “Celaena Sardothien doesn’t exist anymore.”


What if we go on,’ he said, ‘only to more pain and despair? What if we go on, only to find a horrible friend waiting for us?’

Aelin looked northward, as if she could see all the way to Terrasen. ‘Then it is not the end.”


What are you waiting for?’ he said, the words near guttural.

‘Bastard,’ she murmured, and kissed him.

Her mouth was soft and warm, and he bit back a groan. His body went still—his entire world went still—at that whisper of a kiss, the answer to a question he’d asked for centuries. He realized he was staring only when she withdrew slightly. His fingers tightened at her waist.

‘Again,’ he breathed.

She slid out of his grip. ‘If we live through tomorrow, you’ll get the rest.’

He didn’t know whether to laugh or roar. ‘Are you trying to bribe me into surviving?’

His name was Dorian.

Dorian Havillard, and he was the Crown Prince of Adarlan.”

And at long last, Aelin Ashryver Galathynius was home

Book Review: Caraval Stephanie Garber

Caraval (Caraval #1)

Caraval by Stephanie Garber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

September 8-27

Whatever you’ve heard about Caraval, it doesn’t compare to the reality. It’s more than just a game or a performance. It’s the closest you’ll ever find to magic in this world . . .

Scarlett has never left the tiny island where she and her beloved sister, Tella, live with their powerful, and cruel, father. Now Scarlett’s father has arranged a marriage for her, and Scarlett thinks her dreams of seeing Caraval, the far-away, once-a-year performance where the audience participates in the show, are over.

But this year, Scarlett’s long-dreamt of invitation finally arrives. With the help of a mysterious sailor, Tella whisks Scarlett away to the show. Only, as soon as they arrive, Tella is kidnapped by Caraval’s mastermind organizer, Legend. It turns out that this season’s Caraval revolves around Tella, and whoever finds her first is the winner.

Scarlett has been told that everything that happens during Caraval is only an elaborate performance. But she nevertheless becomes enmeshed in a game of love, heartbreak, and magic with the other players in the game. And whether Caraval is real or not, she must find Tella before the five nights of the game are over, a dangerous domino effect of consequences is set off, and her sister disappears forever.

Welcome, welcome to Caraval . . . beware of getting swept too far away.

Review: I loved this book it was beautiful and magical. Scarlett has been obsessed with Caraval since she was a kid and her grandmother told her stories about it . Scarlett started writing to Legend and he finally answered and gave her tickets. But she can’t go cause she supposed to marry some count her abusive father set her up with . Her sister tella is determined to go and her friend Julian helps kinda kidnap Scarlett to get her to the island . Caraval is very magical . Julian and Scarlett start working together and part of the game this year is a wish and Legend takes Tella as part of the game. We learn their grandmother was the woman Legend fell for but then married another man. We also learn about Rosa a woman who fell for Legend but after the game was over she killed herself. Julian and Scarlett get closer. Julian is definitely an interesting character I could tell he was hiding something. Dante a guy Scarlett met and who helped Scarlett somehow was working with Julian because Rosa is Julian sister. The count and her father shows up. Julian gets caught in the crossfire and the father tries to kill Julian he freaking nuts .Scarlett knocks the count out with some perfume and ties him to a bed . Scarlett finally meets Legend and he says him and Julian have been working together and the whole Rosa is sister is fake and Legend kills Julian. Scarlett finds Tella and Tella is trying to tell Scarlett it was all fake and that she isn’t in danger. Tella tells her she fell for someone but its really Legend and their father and the count shows up and Legend threatens the father and Tella kills herself. Scarlett tries to save her and Scarlett goes to see Legend who isn’t really Legend and is an actor whatttt. Scarlett talks with Julian and apparently Legend is Julian brother.
I loved this book onto the next one Tella gets a letter from Legend on their end of the deal.
Quotes:
Some would probably call him a villain. Others would say his magic makes him closer to a god.”

No one is truly honest,” Nigel answered. “Even if we don’t lie to others, we often lie to ourselves. And the word good means different things to different people.”

Whatever you’ve heard about Caraval, it doesn’t compare to the reality. It’s more than just a game or performance. It’s the closest you’ll ever find yourself magic in this world.”

She imagined loving him would feel like falling in love with darkness, frightening and consuming yet utterly beautiful when the stars came out.

He tasted like midnight and wind, and shades of rich brown and light blue. Colors that made her feel safe and guarded.”

Book Review: Trouble with the hotshot boss Holly Renee

Trouble with the Hotshot Boss (Rock Bottom #2)

Trouble with the Hotshot Boss by Holly Renee

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


August 30-September 11

How do you screw up your life in three steps? Easy.

Step one: Graduate from college with no prospective jobs lined up.

Step two: Move back home with your parents because no job unfortunately equals no money.

Step 3: Forget to social media stalk the guy who broke your heart before accepting a job in a town with a smaller population than a frat party on a Wednesday night.

I should quit but living with my parents forever doesn’t seem like a solid life plan.

Jase Hale is the golden boy. Our boss thinks he’s beyond talented. The receptionist sends him more flirty smiles and baked goods than is considered normal for a woman old enough to be his mom.

I try to avoid him and his undeniable charm at all costs.

He does everything he can to get under my skin.

Every encounter leaves me reeling.

Every smirk makes my stomach flip.

I assume he’s playing with me, just pushing my buttons like always, but when he lifts me onto my desk and shuts me up with his lips on mine, I’m more confused than ever.

It doesn’t matter that he’s trying to prove me wrong. Having my heart broken by the same jerk twice in one lifetime isn’t an option.

He already blew his shot, and I have no intention of getting in Trouble with the Hotshot Boss

Review : Loved the story between Jase and Sophie

Quotes :
It didn’t matter though. I would let him take a tour of my panty drawer if it meant I could get him away from my crazy mom.

I was going to tell him that, but his eyes were firmly planted on my ass. I snapped my fingers. “Up here, Mr. Hale.”

Hating Jase Hale was far easier than liking him

Jase in his work clothes was hot. This Jase, this was my every teenage fantasy come to life.

Fuck you, Jase.” She spit the words at me. “Ah, darling. You already have.”

Book Review: Shacking up Abby Knox

Shacking Up

Shacking Up by Abby Knox

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Aug 3-4

Sam may have a ranch to run, but he’s not one to shirk his civic duties when he receives a jury summons in the mail. Fate, however, seems to be summoning him to the jury pool for entirely different reasons when a fellow juror half his age buddies up to him and refuses to leave him alone.

Nobody has ever stuck up for Wren before, who’s been on her own since she was a teen. When the grouchy rancher, Sam, acts on his protective instincts on her behalf, Wren is sure beyond a reasonable doubt that he’s meant to be hers for life.

Review : This book was really cute and sweet so this is about wren and sam who meet when they are doing jury duty . Sam is an old cowboy and Wren she is a girl who hasn’t had a lot of people care about her . Sam and wren start to connect more and end up having sex . sam falls for wren and after there jury duty is over they plan to get married and move in together I loved it .

Quotes:
Some people read cowboy books. The lady in the row in front of us crochets baby blankets. Me? I listen to guys jerk it while I cross stitch cuss words and pictures of vaginas. I didn’t bring the current cross stitch project with me today, though. I can’t very well be stitching “Fuck Off” at the county courthouse,

Meet me in the room in five minutes.” “But I’m enjoying the movie,” I say, even though her whispers awaken the need in my body. “Sam.” “What? I am!” “I’ll be naked.” “See you in five minutes.”

We’ve got all the time in the world, sweet girl.”

She peeled away from him, stepping out of his arms. “If you ever tell anyone about me embracing you… I’ll gut you.

“Life isn’t easy, no matter where you are. You’ll make choices you think are right, and then suffer for them.”

I love you,” he repeated, shaking her again. “I have for years. But if I asked you to pick, you’d choose Arobynn, and I. Can’t. Take. It.”
“You’re a damned idiot,” she breathed grabbing the front of his tunic. “You’re a moron and an ass and a damned idiot.” He looked like she had hit him. But she went on, and grasped both sides of his face. “Because I’d pick you.”

Why did you do it?”
He removed her hand from his cheek to kiss the tips of her fingers. “I get scared, too,” he murmured onto her skin. “You want to hear something ridiculous? Whenever I’m scared out of my wits, I tell myself: My name is Sam Cortland … and I will not be afraid. I’ve been doing it for years.”
It was her turn to raise her brows. “And that actually works?”
He laughed onto her fingers. “Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t. But it usually makes me feel better to some degree. Or it just makes me laugh at myself a bit.”


Why did you do it?”

Arobynn’s attention drifted back to the wagon, already a small dot in the rolling foothills above Rifthold. “Because I don’t like sharing my belongings.”

Quotes :

Simon , you’re blushing, observed Jace. And you’re a vampire and almost never blush, so this better be really juicy . And weird

Herondales.” Zachariah’s voice was a breath, half laughter, half pain. “I had almost forgotten. No other family does so much for love, or feels so much guilt for it. Don’t carry the weight of the world on you, Jace. It’s too heavy for even a Herondale to bear.”

WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?” There was a sound of shattering glass, and they both sat up to see Alec glaring at them. He had dropped the empty bottle of wine he had been carrying, and there were bits of sparkly glass all over the cave floor. “WHY CAN’T YOU GO SOMEWHERE ELSE TO DO THESE HORRIBLE THINGS? MY EYES.”

“It’s a demon realm, Alec,” Isabelle said. “There’s nowhere for us to go.”

“And you said I should look after her-” Simon began, then realized that would not be a productive line of conversation, and shut up.”

Herondales.” Zachariah’s voice was a breath, half laughter, half pain. “I had almost forgotten. No other family does so much for love, or feels so much guilt for it. Don’t carry the weight of the world on you, Jace. It’s too heavy for even a Herondale to bear.”

Jem: Come in.
Jace: Where’s Brother Zachariah?
Jem: I’m right here. Jace Herondale. And once more a Herondale is the object of my deliverance. I should have anticipated.”


Okayyyyy,” Isabelle said in a low voice, “When did Brother Zachariah get hot?”

I did not make a pie,” Alec repeated, gesturing expressively with one hand, “for three reasons. One, because I do not have any pie ingredients. Two, because I don’t actually
know how to make a pie.”
He paused, clearly waiting.
Removing his sword and leaning it against the cave wall, Jace said warily, “And three?”
“Because I am not your bitch,” Alec said, clearly pleased with himself.”

May 27-June 18

Quotes
“The gods rule us still. They have come down from the stars. And they are no longer kind.”


“I will never make the mistake of loving you ever again.”
“So you choose him?”
That’s all this ever was. Jealousy. Rivalry. All so shadow could defeat the flame.”

“I’ll make the other scream for you, Mare, every last one. Not just your parents. Not just your siblings. But every single one like you. I’m going to find them, and they will die with you in their thoughts, knowing this is the fate you have brought them. I am the king and you could’ve been my Red Queen. Now you are nothing.”


The truth is what I make it. I could set this world on fire and call it rain.”
