Jake the Growling Dog: A Children’s Book about the Power of Kindness, Celebrating Diversity, and Friendship by Samantha Shannon

4 Stars

I read this book twice as it is a pretty quick read. I love where the author took this story but I found it a bit awkward at times while reading, my favorite part was actually after the story and the message that was supposed to be gained while reading. The activity was awesome and the list of things you can be thankful for was a great topic starter since I decided to sit with my grandsons and let them lead the rest of my review.

I did have to read a few parts a couple times with them to keep them interested and had much more luck with them after the last page when I opened up the conversation with them about the story. The practice loving-kindness was probably my favorite part as it opened up some awesome conversation with the boys because they understood and shared stories from their classrooms and friends. The activity was awesome and although I’m not sure they will take it any further than our time together they did enjoy the time we discussed it and that was awesome.

So all in all I think this book is great, the story itself did lead into some great time with the kids and I would recommend it.

Beachcomber Enemy (Beachcomber Investigations Book 10) by Stephanie Queen

5 **** Stars

This is not really easy to say since I’ve read 99% of this series but I truly think this was my favorite so far. I loved the push and pull between Dane and Shana and how their relationship was tested and also that it was not the main focus of the story. As with all of the books in this series it is full of danger, suspense, and the perfectly placed twists and turns. I loved the progression of these characters especially Ronnie, to see how he started and how strong he has become through this series was awesome, and now a major player throughout this whole series has me completely torn, not sure where his story is headed and I’m worried because he has been a favorite.

I dont have the words to explain how much I love this series and wish it was something I could actually watch because I can see this being absolutely binge worthy and I can not wait to start from the first book and read straight through on a quiet weekend.

I would not recommend starting at this book, there is so much history with all of these characters and with the way this one ended you will need the whole story to feel the complete impact of what’s left on the table. I need the next one NOW!!

Many thanks to this author for this story, I pick each one up with total confidence I’ll be totally satisfied when I reach the last page.

Amazing!!

Whew!! I am exhausted..this book..Oh my word…You know how there’s times when you feel like you need a good cry? Well pick this book up and you’ll get the good, the bad and the ugly cries all out of the way in one fell swoop.

I’m not sure where to start with this review so I may jump around a bit…This one hit every feel, and it wasn’t an easy ready and I knew it would not be from page 1, this subject has touched my life and I would normally back away and not read this book but then in comes this author who I already love and admire and just draws me in and took such care in how she handled the writing in this entire story, it was beautiful and it might sound weird but I felt protected while reading and that is just one reason this author is so amazing.

I found myself staring at nothing at times while reading catching myself asking those hard questions that a person never even wants to think about and then would jump back in and literally could not put this book down till I finished. On the other side of the coin I found myself smiling a lot and even laughed out loud a few times and found another favorite book boyfriend…SIGH… Everyone needs a Kellan, I fell head over heels quickly.

This book took my breath away and filled me with so much hope and although the road was a bit rough and frustration took over a few times I can not imagine not reading this story and so glad I have it to read again. You must read this book…It was absolutely amazing!!

Well done Miss Bondurant and Thank you!

Out of the Box Collection: A Second Chance Romance Series: The Complete 3-Book Collection by Jennifer Theriot

5 Stars is nowhere near enough……

Jennifer Theriot has plucked me out of my real life world and inserted me into a story that has completely consumed me for the entire time I spent reading it, and here I am afterwards still completely in awe of this author.

I chose this series because of the authors name being on the front covers, I have fallen in love with this authors writing reading a few of her other books…Reading this series has literally ruined me…I just can’t…. The other reason I chose to read this series was because of her taking a chance and going outside the box and featuring characters that I myself can completely relate to and understand.

I can honestly say I have never read a series that hit as many emotions as this series did. I felt everything deep within and seriously feel like I was transported into this dysfunctioning beautiful group of people. I love family sagas but this one went to a whole different level for me, and the bonds that were already in place and then those that were formed in this series again were perfection, one friendship in particular just blew me away. I cried so hard at times while reading, I had the air knocked out of me at times, I shook with anger at times, but I can tell you that I savored every single word on every single page.

Ive actually come away from reading this series with a few new thoughts about life and truly wish I knew how to join together the words to explain how much I appreciated this story.

This author is a master storyteller and not only will I reread this series many times but I will also own these books and will treasure them forever. I have a few favorite series and each one for reasons that keep them at the top of my list, this one as of this second and I am sure for many more seconds to come is my favorite this year and definitely at the top of my favorite series of all time.

I cant express in words how much I loved these 3 books..Thank you Miss Theriot!!!

Out of the Box Everlasting (Out of the Box Book 3): A Second Chance Romance Series by Jennifer Theriot

I’m going with 5 stars because thats all im allowed, but this book is deserving of so many more.

I am completely Speechless…Finished this part of the series about 30 minutes ago and can not even function right now.

So much happened in this book and Im wore slap out, a better word would be ruined, or shattered, or shocked…I just don’t know…

I’m gonna try to write a review for this book, I will however not get into any of the storyline itself because first, there is too much, and second it would ruin the whole series if I did that. I mentioned in my last review that I feared many of the bonds in this book would be tested and I was doing a lot of praying… Well that praying never stopped throughout every page. I don’t know if I have ever been affected so drastically by words in a book, but when I say there were times it took my breath away I’m not even kidding, and when I say I couldn’t read some parts till I dried my eyes I’m not even kidding. I felt this story deep within me and I was constantly being derailed because I would think oh I know what is going to happen and then that which I thought would happen didn’t and I’d end up shaking my head because it would take a whole different course…A brilliant course!

I can’t even comment on the last quarter of this book…I’m just thankful that this author will never know what I was thinking or the names I may or may not have called her.

Simply Brilliant!!

Omg my heart is racing and I’m thanking all that is holy that I have Everlasting ready on my kindle. This series is killing me, I don’t think I’ve ever had my breath took away while reading quite like while reading this part of this series…Tommy and Emily’s wedding about ruined me…then I’m rolling with laughter when Todd goes to pick up the amp from Ash and Liv’s not knowing they were there..OMG…WMD had me dying!

I’m so beyond impressed that there is no predictable going on…there was a couple things I was so afraid were going to blow up and so far I’ve been pleasantly pleased that Miss Theriot decided to blow up other areas throwing me totally out of whack.

The bonds are still as strong in this part and I’m totally in love with Todd……scared for the next part, I have a feeling these bonds are about to be completely tested and I’m praying for so many things going on and can not wait to begin the next part.

Loved this book so so much! and this could end up being one of my favorite series ever and I cant even go on because I must start book 3.

HOLY MOLY!! I so completely and sincerely utterly LOVED this book. I actually can’t believe I am able to not move on to the second one so that I can write this review. It’s already a given how much I love this author but she has taken it to a whole new level with this story.

I cried so hard when I read the last sentence..I could feel everything going on at that club, I could picture all of the kids, I could picture Ash and the love that was pouring out of him and I could almost feel the feelings that Olivia was feeling at that point.

The bonds that were written about in this story were beyond amazing and each character is a favorite for one reason or another, well, except maybe one and that one worries me just a bit so I’m bracing for that but have complete trust that Miss Theriot will handle whatever happens and comes up in the future of this series.

Saying that I am completely invested in this story is an understatement and I can not wait to begin Regifted.

I am so so happy I picked up this series, I’m not getting a whole lot done when it comes to being a real life adult but oh well, it will all be there waiting on me when I finish.

Thank you Miss Theriot for giving me a character that I can relate to!

Amazingly Awesome!!

I Loved Kelly, I connected with her for some reason and felt like I knew her and she was one of my best friends…This is not my first book by this author and also will not be my last, I truly enjoyed this story. The friendships that were kind of fun and also at the same time kind of aggravating were just one part of this story I loved the most.

I want to work at the Wine and Furniture store, actually I want to own it and run it exactly as it was in this book with Delilah and Daisy running it for me…This was an awesome story and this is officially my favorite read by this author yet. Every girl should have their own leaky basement and a Kirk who remedies the situation. I loved this relationship and how it formed and grew and even though there were hurdles along the way and issues that are always bothersome with people getting in the way or inner feelings that make things more complicated than they should be this was well written and had me hooked from page 1 and I read it in one sitting and didn’t want it to end..I can not wait to see where this author takes this series next.

I highly recommend this book and also this author.

Loved it!!!

Im left with wanting so much more from this story, not because it was lacking in anything but because I just loved reading it. It’s the kind of book you want to just curl up with no distractions and lose yourself in. I read it in one sitting and just had a warm comforting feeling in how it was written. I felt like I was there and knew these people.

I love second chance stories, especially ones that start as high school sweethearts as I married mine, and this one was a bit different in the way that the HEA had basically already happened and fell apart and both Jessica and Danny had thought they moved on with their lives until circumstances bring them both back to where it all began.

This story dealt with something that is more reality then a lot of people are even aware of. I have two close friend couples that deal with these issues and these struggles are completely real and can be even more devastating. The way this author told this story was spot on and absolutely beautiful. The flashbacks were perfect and always happened at the perfect times.

I totally and 100% loved this book, this was my first read by this author and I can not wait to read more. I am after only one book a fan of this author’s writing and can not recommend it enough.

Loved it!!!

WOW!! This was written really really well. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to see what was going to happen.

Sloane (Blackbird) was an awesome character, You MUST read the first in this series to completely understand what is going on and how Sloane got where she is in this story. The action in this book was non stop. I followed it easily and although it was hard reading about terrorists with our world being the way it is right now, it was totally awesome watching the other side go after them. I was not completely sure about Halo at some points in this story but I ended up loving her as much as I did our Blackbird.

I absolutely must have the next in this series ASAP! Blackbird and Halo are AWESOME and I’m also very very curious whether there is any more to come for Blackbird and Adam.

Very quick read, full of content and very easy to follow. Will have book 3 as quick as I can get a hold of it and would love to read more from this author.

Amazingly Awesome!!!

Ok confession time…The first words out of my mouth when finishing this book were..OMG Are you freaking kidding me??? Then…Oh yes it gets worse…I saw when the next book will be released and the first words then were…I am never reading another effing book..EVER

So..about an hour has passed and I’m over my little tantrum and feel like I can find some words to get me through this review. I flipping loved this book..Totally unique and different then I have ever read. I can see where this series is going to be in my favorites because there are so many stories to tell with this group of very interesting characters.

War and Grace were awesome and this story grabbed me at page 1 and still literally has not let go, I loved both of their stories and even how they met although not your average first meeting it still was as I said above very unique and I still see more story to tell for these two and I simply can not wait, especially after that ending…REALLY!? If I didn’t love my kindle so much it would be in a million pieces right now.. I also thought the addition of the cryptic notes from Mom were brilliant, this is why I love this author so so much…You just never really know and her talent for storytelling is in a class of its own.

But…I still need the next one like RIGHT NOW! LOL

Highly recommend, I just know this is going to be another home run series for this author.

This is my 4th book by this author and my 2nd in this series, not sure how I missed the first one but that is an easy fix 🙂

This author has a style of writing that lures you in from the very first chapter and she places twists and turns throughout that you seriously don’t see coming and although most are not life shattering, throw your kindle kind of twists they still pack quite a punch and I love love love that.

The anger displayed in the beginning of this story was completely justified on one side and completely understandable on the other once I knew the whole story. I love these books and the continuing story going on with some new people added to the mix in every book.

I love the connection between these brothers even if everyone of them are so very different and I already can not wait for Liam’s story and did I read that last part correctly? Sister? I can’t even imagine where this one is gonna go and what needs to happen to bring the evil down…

Love these books and can’t recommend them high enough and really anything by this author is an absolute must read!

I’ve been dying to know more about Caroline since she has been weaved in an out of many of the other books in this series. She is Dani’s best friend and I’m so glad she got her own book. I’m also so glad she is just as feisty as I thought she would be and her move walking into that office and facing Luca was brilliant, a little crazy but simply brilliant.

I love this series, it’s one of those that I will read again back to back in the future, although I really don’t want it to ever end. Don’t even try to read any of these out of order…You need everything from book 1 on to get the full picture of everything taking place in all of these stories.

You could almost feel the heat radiating off the kindle reading the interactions between Saint and Caroline and you could also feel the frustration as Caroline just wasn’t one of those women that takes orders very well and poor Saint lol

I am completely invested in this family’s story and the way this one ended Oh My Word the next in this series can not come soon enough.

One click this author, seriously it doesn’t matter what she writes but this series is amazing and I just know you will love it as much as I do.

I don’t think I have ever read a series with this many books so out of order…Luckily it’s ok and although they are all intertwined reading them as I have still works somehow.

I am not a historical fantasy fan but I am absolutely a fan of this author, it’s the way she tells the stories and this one was no different, somehow she takes a genre I have no interest in and keeps me interested and I can only attribute that to this author’s amazing storytelling.

I’ve said it before and will say it again, I’ve always wanted to visit Ireland but this author has managed to move that dream up my bucket list in the way she transports me there in her writing.

The magic and fantasy in this story almost made me believe and that’s not easy because as I’ve mentioned I am not normally a fan. I loved how real Orlagh felt in this book. Not the typical star of a story and I truly appreciated that.

Will definitely be looking out for more in this series and also anything else this author comes up with.

Awesome Story!

Good Lord, heart race a million miles a minute much! This was a short read yet packed full of adventure, danger, heat, Love, more danger, and OMG moments, it made it feel like a much longer book.

Ive read many many books by Miss McNamee and this one was so completely different then what I am used to and at first my jaw was on the floor then I found myself at 45% and realized it was moving too fast so I put it down because I didnt want it to end and I knew if I kept reading Id be done in no time because it is that good! I was right I picked it back up and was done before I knew it. This was darker than Im used to from this author but it worked perfectly.

The writing style of this author is unmatched and it obviously doesnt matter what genre she writes she is amazing. Although I will admit I might or might not have said some not so nice words at the end of this book leaving me with a sort of love / hate confused feeling. Ive got so many questions and I need the next one now! I have to know where this story is going and I highly recommend everyone read this.

Oh my goodness I am so in love with this new Colorado Chapter of the Satan’s Devils…Don’t get me wrong I love the mother chapter in Tucson as well but for some reason this new series has me completely hooked.

Demon’s story actually started in Paladin’s story and it was a great way to start this new series and I couldn’t wait to read this book. Once again I was not disappointed.

When Demons best friend died he made a promise to watch over his little sister and he had done that for years staying out of sight so that Violet never saw him. Once she grew up and seemed like her life was good, Demon felt like his promise had been fulfilled, but all of a sudden she reappears in his life when so many changes had happened for him in his own personal life and his status in the MC. Her reappearance brings back so many memories and also comes with her own drama and not to mention a son. Demon remembers the promise he made her brother and intends to keep that promise no matter how she makes him feel.

This authors writing is in a class of its own and no matter what I’ve read of hers I get totally lost from page one in this world she has created and I always feel like I’m right there with these amazing people. I loved Demon in the first book he appeared in and I love him even more now and I think that one of my favorite characters in this book has to be Hell and I have to recommend that you read the first in this new series definitely before you read this one…There’s so so much that ties together with these books.

Now I simply must know who the next book is about, we got no hints at the end and it’s driving me crazy!! I also can not wait for the next book in the mother chapters series…This author is Amazing…read all these books, I promise you won’t be sorry!

This is my third book by this author as well as in this series. This one felt more like a stand alone set in Chicago although the appearance of some from the books that came before was a welcome addition.

I got kind of confused a few times which is something that normally happens when I read books from this genre which is not a chosen genre of mine. I had to read this one though as I had read the first two and my curiosity got the better of me. Although these books still have not won me over on the genre I did in fact enjoy the writing style of this author and absolutely would read more.

I did like that the female lead in this story was not your typical beautiful 25 year old although her views of herself and life were kind of sad at the beginning I found following her through this adventure was enjoyable, and like her I had the same views of Elias when the story started, wasn’t exactly sure what he was all about.

I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys these types of books and I highly recommend this author for anyone that just enjoys quality writing.

I love this series, each book has been quick and easy to read. I love that it is an ongoing series with the same characters popping in throughout. I also love that there is a story going on in the background that started with book 1 and is lingering there through each of these books.

I would love to see this as a TV series, I think it would be awesome and I would definitely we tuning in every week.

This story features Mia, she’s a nixie…now I’m not a big paranormal fan normally so this was new to me but the fact that she has lived among us humans for over 200 years made it fascinating. She is a producer that watched one of her actors get killed and is on a mission to solve this crime with the help of our paranormal talent agency helpers.

I loved how this book made me feel, I smiled through most of it and even ended up laughing out loud a few times. The literal sparks between Mia and Jacob (a human detective on the case) were fantastic. Their interaction with each other was so much fun to read.

I can not wait for the next in this series and I highly recommend you read all of these in order to understand how all the characters got where they are and I really feel there is something big happening and can not wait for that to all come together.

This was my first book by this author and I truly enjoyed it. I found myself laughing out loud more than once and I enjoyed that Miranda wasn’t the perfect in every way 20 some year old. She was written in a way that made her feel like a real person and I so appreciated that. I think one of my only negatives is that it wasn’t long enough for me. I enjoyed everything about this book except I don’t know that I ever completely connected to the story. It seemed to move a bit too fast and I would have loved more.

I will say that the very first line of the book was enough to grab me and I didnt put it down till I was finished, and my first introduction to Kimy had me rolling. I Loved Reed, once I figured out why he was the way he was with Miranda and although at one point I wanted to jump in my kindle and kick him in the shins he redeemed himself quickly in my eyes.

I really did love the whole of this book, and I love this authors writing and just simply wanted more of it. I definitely want to read more from this author.

WOW!! I loved loved loved this book…How is this my first read by this author??? I knew from the first couple sentences that I wouldn’t be able to put this book down and I was right. I read it start to finish in one sitting and hated when it was over.

This book started right out having me on the edge of my seat, and falling in love with characters from one phone call. Levi!! **sigh** I want one… Well shoot I’ll take a Noah too LOL

This story hit on every thing I love in my books, not to mention the amazing writing style and the perfect flow throughout. I love this family and the bonds they share and how they step up to protect what is theres. Luna was AMAZING, even after all she had been through her strength shined through and I loved the interaction with her and all the brothers, and she literally cracked me up. I know for a fact I will never be able to think of or talk about apple juice ever again without laughing out loud…That rates up there with one of the funniest scenes in a book I’ve ever read and I had tears laughing so hard.

While checking out what else this author has available I have come to realize this is the start of a new series that started with another series….Yes!! I will have all of those and will be reading them as soon as possible.

I love finding new authors, especially when they are new authors that check off every favorite thing I have when reading, and I will be following and reading everything and anything this author comes out with.

LOVED IT!!!!

WOW!! I’m in a bit of shock at how much I enjoyed this book. It was an edge of your seat fast moving, easy to follow story that started out with life in a mafia family to being trained as a deadly spy with a bit of erotic thrown in the mix.

I don’t normally read this type of genre mainly because I just have trouble keeping up with more complicated issues like terrorism and spies, but this one was so easy to understand and follow that I could definitely see reading the rest of this series, as a matter of fact I sincerely must read the rest of this series, I have read other stories by this author and also enjoyed those, so it’s safe to say that I will be looking into not only the rest of this series but other books by this author.

Many thanks to this author for opening up the door for a new genre for me to enjoy!

HEELS OF FORTUNE: PJ Santini Series: Book Two by Lynne Russell

5 +++++++ Stars

I DID NOT WANT THIS BOOK TO END!! Seriously, I loved the first book and if it’s possible I loved this one even more. I think being inside of P.J.’s mind is one of the most fascinating and completely hilarious places to be. Her thought process cracked me up in most cases and I want to be her friend and I also want to order one Tango Daly please…***sigh***

This book was awesome, had everything I love in a book all tied up in one complete package, twists and turns from every direction and if there is one negative I can mention its that there isn’t another one waiting for me to jump into yet! 🙁 Stalking has already begun and I will be first in line when she continues this story.

I love that she throws in just enough of a flashback here and there and doesn’t spend too much time on it, its enough to give me what I crave and then transports me back to the present and I didn’t forget where I was..Not sure if that made sense but its awesome.

The family aspect of this story is also a favorite of mine in any book and OMG Nonna…loved loved loved her! I also hope Vicky is even more involved in coming books, she added another layer to the story that was simply spot on!

I can’t recommend reading this enough…I suppose you could read this as a stand alone although I can’t imagine not having read the first before sinking into this one. This author has become an absolute must read for me and this series will remain a favorite and I already can’t wait to reread. 🙂

Drawing Bloodlines (The Princeton Allegiant Series Book 1) by Deborah Garland

5 Stars

So I fell in love with this author while reading her Darling Cove Series and I couldn’t wait to see what she would do with a paranormal story involving vampires. I’m not normally a fan of paranormal but because it’s a new series and its this author I had to try it.

I Loved It!! I already can’t wait for more. This one was the whole package tied up with the most beautiful bow. The flow, the characters, the twists and turns, which are my favorite because I love the unpredictable.

I can’t quite figure out which way she will go with this series especially with how this book ended, which totally threw me because i truly thought it would end up going a different way. Although it doesn’t matter because I will have whatever this author writes.

Highly recommend this, and recommend even higher reading anything by this author.

Loved Loved Loved it!!!

The rating system is not high enough for this book, nor this author. I worked my ever loving tailbone off reading this story, I felt every emotion ten fold and I literally read this in one sitting. These people in the book had me totally messed up, one minute I was smiling, then I was laughing, then I was ready to kick something and then I’d end up crying. There was one statement in this book that caught me so off guard I swear I spit the water I just drank through my nose….took me 15 minutes to be able to breathe again and set back in to reading.

I want to be adopted into Deacons family, they have to be one of my favorite book families ever and that is also one of my favorite parts of any book is when there is a family feel to the story. Then there’s the bonds of friendship that this author took to a whole new level for me. I loved Saylor, don’t get me wrong but she had me wanting to scream many times in this story but her scenes with Mason redeemed her in my eyes every time, omg they cracked me up.

I could get into the actual storyline but I’m not going to…if you have not read this book trust me when I say this will hit everything you love about reading and I don’t know what to say about this author except that I have many favorites, but when someone asks who my favorite is one always comes to mind first and I’ve read all her books at least twice, well without sounding cheesy I can honestly say that this author will now be at the top, I’ve read many of her books and I know I will read everyone of them again and again.

I could go on and on but I’ll stop here because Brody and Emberlee are waiting for me to start their story…

I don’t even know where to start on this review. I literally read this in one sitting and there’s a couple of the stories I want more of and will be looking into that.

I don’t know what other word to use then HOLY HOT!! There was not a lot of storyline to go with any of the stories but let me just say that if you enjoy super hot scenes then run, don’t walk and grab this collection. One of the stories I wasn’t really crazy about and found myself skimming through it because it just isn’t something I enjoy reading.

I will say that the parts of this, the ones on the other side of the hot ones I mentioned above, the writing is awesome and I really would love to read a full length book by this author with the storyline being the majority instead of the sex.

I will be looking at what else this author has available.

I’ve given up on counting how many of this authors books I have already read, I’m slowly but surely making my way through all of them and will continue with anything and everything this author comes out with.

This one just might have edged out all the rest for me, I’m not sure exactly what it was but this one grabbed a hold really quick and I finished it in one sitting. I think one of my favorite things about this author is how she continually revisits places and brings back those that I have loved from other books.

This one seemed to have a few more twists and turns then normal and Im a sucker for being caught off guard, and I love the meeting when they were younger and then seeing each other again many years later. I can not recommend this book enough and I will at some point read the others in this collection as I love the whole concept of this story and love finding new authors.

Love this book, and as always love this author, it always kind of feels like coming home when I read her stories.

How is this the first book I have read by this author…OMG I loved this story…It’s the small town feel, with the family thing thrown in that totally won me over in this book, as well as writing that was simply spot on and a story that wasn’t filled with a lot of fluff, every word was needed and I literally read this in one sitting.

I loved Autry’s parents and the challenge was awesome, and then Beth making that challenge not so easy was just the best. I usually get really angry with miscommunication between main characters, but this one was actually kind of fun to read and the storyline with Dylan…UGH it just made this book the whole package for me.

I will have the rest of this series and will go back and read the others as well as anything else this author comes out with.

LOVED LOVED LOVED it!!

I loved this story…Kerry, Willow, and Caleb and Dad won my heart pretty quick. I was hooked from page one and even though there was some pretty serious scenes and issues I still found this story quite sweet and completely enjoyable.

This is my first book by this author and I already want to go grab book 1 of this series and also check out what else this author might have available. The story flowed so nicely and I read it in one sitting. I loved how Kerry and Caleb met and what transpired from that first meeting, and then how they continued to meet, thanks to the adorable Willow.

I highly recommend this story and feel like I’ll recommend both in this series when I am done with the first.

I Love finding new authors to follow 🙂

I could not wait to read this book as well as any book by this author and once again I was not disappointed. I loved Rafferty in the 1st book, then disliked him immensely at the beginning of this book then as I read on he started melting my heart and by the end I of course loved him again 🙂

This book runs pretty much parallel with Brody and it was kind of awesome, luckily it has not been that long ago that I read Brody so I picked up on the same time frame pretty quick. Lauren was awesome but she literally ticked me off during most of the book. Really?! I mean I understand the hurt and the fear of trusting again but communication would have solved so so much!

I love the concept of this series. I’m not normally a fan of books involving bands and such but how this author handles this one has me totally invested in all of these people. The secondary characters are beyond awesome and I can not wait to see who gets to tell their story next.

Loved it and highly recommend reading both books so far in this series.

Emeline and Cappy’s story..OH MY!

I fell in love with this author reading her Southern Promises Series, and by the way if you haven’t read that then go grab them, they are beyond awesome. I was so excited when I saw she had a new series out and I was not at all disappointed..Not sure if I can put in words what it is about this authors writing that draws me in and doesn’t let go literally till the end…I loved these people and the story about their bond as teens and how they came back together as friends dealing with the loss of a character who quickly became one of my favorites in this book. The scene with the box and the missing ring literally took my breath away and that’s when Pop completely won my heart.

I love how she transported me right into the story, I could see everything clearly and feel like I was right there in the same room with these people. I’m so excited to get my hands on the rest of this series, I loved Ginger in this story and can’t wait for Stars Fall From The Sky and completely curious as to how she is going to handle the Fiona story.

Grab this book, it is amazing and I’m sure you will love following Emeline and Cappy’s story as much as I did.

Awesome!!!
