The Catch (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 2) by Phoebe Alexander

5+++ Stars

First, What can I say about this author that I haven’t already said or that hasn’t already been said about her to stress just how much I appreciate her and absolutely love reading her words? She is amazing, awesome, brilliant, and every other positive descriptive word there is and one of the reasons for this is…this series deals with a lifestyle and lifestyles that I truly have no interest in knowing more about, I have no problem with any of them it’s just not for me and some of the subjects that Phoebe writes about normally do not keep my interest and I find my mind wandering instead of focussing on the reading..So with that said, in answer to what can I say about this author it is simple…She’s a flipping genius because I open these book full of these stories and i’m lost in her world till the very last word is read. How she does this I have no clue but my appreciation for her goes way way beyond words..

So now on to this story…I loved and completely understood and could relate with Paisley in this book to a point. I wish in my past I could have had half her strength and just a touch of her self esteem…She is awesome and has become one of my favorite leading ladies. Then there’s Calvin, sigh…… Again…another reason I loved this and most of this authors books is because you could actually see yourself being friends with the characters she writes because they are so so real, with real emotions and real struggles and I love this.

I loved the mystery and suspense in this story and some scenes were off the charts holy moly give me a bucket of ice water stat moments and I loved seeing Leah and Cap and check in on their continuing story…

I have so completely read these books out of order and that’s something I just have to work on but it in no way got in the way of each individual book…I love them all but I think down deep this one might just be my favorite of this series so far.

Thank you once again Miss Alexander 🙂

Ummmm….. I’ve sat here after finishing this story knowing I was going to leave a review…knowing I don’t want to leave a review….knowing I will absolutely leave a review…Confused Yet?? Tell me about it!!

**ok deep breath**

This is my second book by this author…and just to quote myself from my review for the first book I read, Monsters…

“I’m not going to go into any detail about this book. You have to read it, it is beyond amazing and this author is Brilliant and her talent for telling a story is unmatched. I was emotionally invested in every aspect of this book. There aren’t enough words for me to describe how I loved reading every word…”

Yea those words apply to this one as well, except I must add that she destroyed me in this story..she took my breath away more than once and I literally could not put it down until I read the very last word….

…… I am literally speechless…I can only say Read this book..This author is in a class of her own and is so far up my favorites list that it doesn’t matter what she writes I will read it, even if im sure Ill be holding my breath from page 1 on…..

Brilliant, Heartbreaking, Shocking, Mind Blowingly Awesome!!

Ok I struggled with whether I was going to read this book or not, I am a forever fan of this author and I’ve loved every book in this series which is why I went ahead and read it. I’m just not good with the m/m part of the story. I don’t normally choose this subject and not that I have anything against it, I just have a hard time connecting with characters in these stories and my interest wanders.

In saying all of that this author once again completely blew me away. Gave me history that was completely awesome and something I didn’t even know I needed. Throughout the book I was able to skip over some things that just didn’t add to the story for me and this allowed me to stay completely focussed. I really want to line these books up and read them one after the other nonstop on a cold dreary weekend and this is something I plan to do this winter.

The story was awesome yet heartbreaking in many places and I completely appreciate the way this author draws you into a story and doesn’t let go even after the last word is read.

I will be the first in line for whatever this author comes out with, she is simply amazing and I highly recommend this story, and even more so this author.

Take 2 awesome authors and put their names on one book and you end up with Awesome overload. I love both of these authors and when I saw this book I was so excited and they once again did not let me down.

This was an awesome merge, Fortis and Purgatory and the amazing people that work for each. This was a smooth read and falls right into everything else as far as the style of both of these authors.

This story had just enough twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat and one of the twists totally floored me, I was like NOOOOOOOO that did not just happen.

I absolutely loved it and all of the characters are still among my favorites and I was even able to meet a few new ones.

I highly recommend this and every other book both of these authors have out.

Self Love: A British Tale of Woe and Wit by TL Clark

4 Stars

This was my first read by this author and I truly enjoyed it although a lot of parts were hard to read, and this is simply because so many thoughts Molly had were thoughts I’ve had through the years before I made some changes and went on my own type of journey. Remembering a lot of those feelings was fun while I was reading along but I sure could relate to almost everything in this story.

It took me a bit to actually fall in love with Molly, there were just a few too many SMH moments but that changed as it all got going and then i was hooked. I loved her best friend Wendy, she was simply awesome and always there for her.

I’m definitely going to be checking out more by this author..I did really love the writing style and how smoothly it was written and it was very easy to read and get lost in.

I highly recommend this story and this author.

I just finished this and oh my goodness…..I messed up and read Our Unexpected Hope first which was ok it did not mess anything up, and it was in reading Our Unexpected Hope that made me pick this one up like seconds after finishing. I can honestly say, I never like to go back and read a book when I pretty much already know the outcome of who was in that book. But in this case I had to. The characters of Dez and Karalyn..I don’t even have words for these two….I simply fell in love with both of them..Their story broke my heart more than once and they caused more than a few tears. I just don’t know what to say to give this book or this author the justice thats deserved. I can’t even tell you which one of these books I liked better because they were both simply awesome and I recommend them both. This author has a style about her writing that grabs you and doesn’t let go even after you read the last word.

I already want to read them both again and I will very soon and then I just know I will very soon after that. I loved them.

I will be one of the first in line for any and everything this author comes up with. Another one of those books that 5 stars just isn’t enough!

So I’ve gone and done it this time, I read this book before Our Next Chapter and although it was ok and I never felt lost I know that after what I read in this story that I had to go back and read the first and Im doing that right this second but wanted to get this review written before the stories got blurred and I mix up my thoughts.

I can not even put in words how much I love this author, this is not my first book by her and will absolutely not be the last, I went into this story without even reading the synopsis, that’s what happens when you read a book by an author on your favorites list, doesn’t matter what the book is about, her name is on it…I read it. This is why I read out of order. I highly recommend this story, the characters were awesome and the dialogue between them was perfect. Noah and Quinn had a relationship that started quite quickly and progressed quite fast but with everything in this story and how it was all written it all totally worked. There is so much more to this story than just a romance between two people. The “parents” were so amazing and I found myself laughing out loud at some of the comments a father had to hear his daughter say, and how he reacted was spot on!

This was such a beautiful story that brought me to tears more than once and even more than twice. The storyline was unique and the talent this author has had me finishing it in one sitting, it all flowed so smoothly and perfectly. Do yourself a favor, read these books..I highly recommend reading Our Next Chapter first..You do not have to but I promise you will wish you had because this whole story is just amazingly beautiful!! One of those books that truly deserves more than just five stars!

Loved It!!

Marks of the Mazza: Reverse Harem (Mazza Series Book 1) by Blake Blessing

5 Stars

Ok so this is my first book by this author as well as my first reverse harem. I’ll admit I was a bit worried before I started but the synopsis had me interested enough to give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised that it was nothing like I thought it was going to be. Now it might have something to do with this author and her style of writing. I enjoyed every page and I especially loved the strength and sassiness our lead character showed, and I fell in love with every one of “her” guys, one of them took me a bit, I had a feeling there was a story to tell there and I was right and he grew on me quickly.

I can not wait for the next in this series, it didn’t end on a holy crap throw your kindle and call the author names kind of cliffhanger, but it did end leaving me with a lot of questions and wanting a lot more.

If you have never read a book in this genre I highly recommend giving this one a try. I loved it and the smooth writing style made it a very easy read.

I loved this story so so much!! I can’t explain why I fell in love with both of the characters Rebecca and Ryan so fast but I did, I loved the writing style in this book..It read so smooth and also very quick but never felt rushed or crammed with content…It felt complete and real, the dialogue between the characters made me feel as if I was standing right there involved in the conversations.

As much as I disliked the conversation between Rebecca and her mother I could completely understand both sides..Im a Mom and I can absolutely see myself reacting the same way, this is why I say this book felt very real. I am so so glad I found this author, I have a feeling that reading her books will constantly leave me wanting more of them as this is how I feel right now.

I can’t wait to read the 2nd in this series and learn more about Ryan’s family. I love small towns, I grew up in one and miss it all the time. This was awesome and I highly recommend this book and this author.

Oh My!! Where to start…I went in to this story completely blind and had no idea what I was in for and what I was about to read. Again all I can say is Oh My!!

This is my 2nd read by this author and I really enjoyed the first book I read but this one was so different and if there is a named feeling or emotion I’m pretty sure I felt it somewhere in reading this story…Had my mind all messed up and has me still thinking about it a day later. That in my opinion is how books find their way into one of my favorite folders.

I’m not going to go into much more about the book itself..I went in totally blind and read the author’s synopsis after I finished, just know that once you pick this up and begin on page 1 you will not want to put it down, and Colbie **sigh** she is now and will forever be one of my favorite female leads, I absolutely can not wait to read this book again, and I’m pretty sure I’ll say the same thing no matter how many times I reread.

This was an amazing book, and I highly recommend it and actually already have to a few that I know would completely appreciate the beautiful writing style and talent this author has.

Many thank yous to this author for touching my heart in 242 pages.

This was an awesome collection of 3 short stories that I absolutely loved and enjoyed. One of my favorite parts is that they are all based in New Orleans at The Chateau Rouge. Now after reading all 3 of these, all I could think of is I want to go there, I would probably be scared out of my mind half the time but I don’t care, all of the characters in these stories were written and portrayed perfectly. This author has a way of taking very few pages and adding in so much content and not in a way that it feels like it has all been jam packed in there, there are also mini twists and turns throughout, not those kind that are earth shattering or major story changing but those kind that are placed perfectly and you never see them coming.

I have said this before and now I’ll say it again, I could read 100 books all in a row that take place at The Chateau Rouge, and I highly recommend this as it was just plain fun to read and I do see me reading all of these again in the future.

Loved Loved Loved this collection!!!

This is not my first book by this author but it is my first in this series, I had no problem reading this as a standalone but really do wish I had read the first part of this story because I enjoyed this one so much, and I don’t even read this genre, it’s definitely not something I normally choose but when I saw the beautiful cover and read the synopsis and saw who wrote it, I had to have it. I have loved everything I have read by this author which puts her on my list of, it doesn’t matter what the book is about, if her name is on it..I read it, and that was strengthened even more after reading this.

Sera was an awesome character, strong, brave, and not willing to just give up because life threw some bumps in her journey. I loved this group of people and really want to know more of the history that I missed by not reading the first. Ian was awesome and his story was heartbreaking and how he was dealing with all of that was written so well.

The secondary characters were completely awesome…I loved the dialogue between all of them and I absolutely can not wait for Finn and Violet’s story, I loved both of them in this book and it feels like the story in the background is still building, I really want to know more about Hunter and also Patricia’s status and is there just maybe a future story there???

So I highly recommend this book but I recommend starting with the first as I wish I had done just so that I could have gotten more of a history of this group, so will definitely read that one before the next comes out.

Loved It!!!

WOW…This book deserves so so so many more stars than just the normal max 5!!

So this is my third read by this author, I’ve read the first two in this series and loved them, they were fantastic, but let me just say that this one……. Oh.Em.Gee!! Holy Emotions, and WOW!!!

After reading the first two it only took me a couple pages to remember and know who this book was about. I loved every single word and the storyline was out of this world fantastic.

What can I say about Tim, well I can say without a shadow of a doubt that he is now firmly and forever in my all time top 5 book boyfriends. He stole my heart in the first couple pages and he never let go.

“To fail is human, but it’s not fatal. It’s courage that counts.”

**sigh**

I kept looking at my reading speed while I went along and kept saying to myself..slow down you don’t want this to end and that was right from the start because you can just tell when a book is going to affect you that way. Then it happened…at about 75% in…my heart took a beating for the last 25% of this book, now don’t get me wrong it was awesome all the way to that point, the buildup was written perfectly..but then the ugly, breath catching, nose blowing eyes swelling crying began. The emotions this author brought out through this whole book, yea I felt them all.

I already want to read it again, heck I want to read them all again, they were all that good but Georgia Pine is no doubt my absolute favorite of the 3.

Not sure how she could ever top this but no doubt I will be first in line for anything this author writes.

Seriously people…Read this book, I’m not even kidding…Correction…Read them all!! You won’t be sorry!

My 3rd read by this author…and the 3rd of this ongoing story…I don’t know where to begin with this review. If there’s a feeling to be felt, I felt it while reading this story. I loved them all but this one? Oh My Goodness…no doubt my favorite and that’s saying a lot because the other two were AMAZING!

This author has a way of grabbing you and not letting go, I read this entire book in one sitting, this storyline completely shattered me. Now that was only part of it, it also had me laughing out loud many times, it also had me wanting to take my kindle outside and run over it a few times with a truck…Like I said if there’s a feeling, I felt it. I loved the characters from the first 2 books returning and being a pretty big part of this story, I loved the interactions between all of the characters but the dialogue between Lauren and Gage was spot on perfection.

I’m not even going to try to sum up what happened in this book, it wouldn’t be fair to those that haven’t read it yet…You do not have to read any of these in order but I highly suggest that you do because although you won’t be lost, you will really want the stories that came before. You will also want something very close to punch or throw, you will also want a couple boxes of tissues very close, and you will want a bit of time because you will not want to put this down.

I can’t even tell you how much Im looking forward to more books by this author..She is awesome and her talent for writing a story puts her in a class of her own. Read this, read all of them I promise you will not be sorry!!!

5 Stars

I finished this book about 20 minutes ago and have been sitting here staring at my screen trying to figure out how to write a review that will even come close to the brilliance this book carries.

Let me start with I like dystopian stories but I have a hard time reading them because I get lost in the storyline or sometimes they are a little over the top. This one…WOW is the main thought in my mind.

“We have met the enemy and he is us” ~Pogo Possum

That right there at the start of this story says it all and the Prophecies of the Hopi Indians that have been passed down through the years..holy moly. I’ll be honest as well, I’ve already googled the Hopi tribe, I just had to know if they were real.

I guess what got me most throughout this whole story was how real it felt, this could sincerely be something that happens and I followed every single word, I was hooked right from the start, it didn’t take a few pages to get there, I was there. Sandal’s journey was one I would not have the strength or courage to ever take and because of all of who she was and became in this story I think she has become my favorite book heroine ever! I’m not even going to go into the storyline, the author has exactly the right amount in her synopsis and it was enough to draw me in and will have a hold of me for quite some time. I know for a fact the thoughts I have after reading this will be thoughts that stay with me from now on.

I have no other words except this author has blown me away, shattered me, and all I can think of is I want to read it again and I need to recommend it so I can talk about it. This was my first book by this author and its safe to say I will be reading any and everything she writes..coming away from the story itself and looking only at the writing talent she is out of this world amazing.

Thank you Thank you Thank You Nikki Broadwell! This might just be my favorite read so far this year!

I fell in love with Sweeny, I want to go there and I want to become friends with Royce, Emma, Cyrus, Jackson, Willie and Effie. This was such a fun story and also very sweet. It had its touches of drama with outside characters that added a bit of danger to the mix.

This story flowed so perfectly that I read it in one sitting and hated when it was over and I’m truly hoping there is more to come from Sweeny and this cast of awesome characters.

Tarrah Anders won me over long ago and she is an automatic one click for me, don’t even care what the book is about I go in blind because she’s one of those authors you just know you can trust to give you a story you love and don’t want to put down and always leaves you wanting more.

I’ve already read the first 2 books in this series and can’t even describe how much I loved them. I normally don’t like to go back and read prequels that come after stories I’ve already read but in this case this came at the perfect time. I sincerely have wondered how it all began and now I know, and it gave me all I needed and wanted to hope that this series goes on and on for quite some time. This was awesome and heartbreaking and it makes me seriously wonder if it didn’t end with an unfinished story that might still come in the future with a certain character seeking revenge. I guess we will see, and I WILL see because I will be one of the first in line to one click whenever another of this series is released. I also want to go seek out what else this author might have available because she has quickly become an absolute favorite of mine.

Not sure where to begin with this review… I also wasn’t sure how many stars to give this book, I started out with 4 then stared at the screen thinking wait a minute, just because I’m totally ticked off about a few things doesnt mean its a 4 star book, it actually means in my opinion it’s a 5 star book because of how i’m feeling, which of course means it got to me, and that is usually the author’s intent isn’t it?

Im left confused after finishing this story, this is probably because it’s the 2nd part of this series and like an idiot I didn’t read the 1st. I had no problems while reading the entire book, until like I said it came to an end and I literally threw my kindle…I was so upset because I have no idea what happened…This tells me that I need to without fail, go pick up the first in this series and see if it helps me at all with how this one ended, this will also help in me being 100% ready when the 3rd is released, because I will have the 3rd the very second I can get a hold of it.

I sincerely loved this story, I loved the characters, GiGi and Angela were completely awesome!! Alex and Leigh made me fall in love with them immediately and their lifelong friendship even with the long break in it was great. I loved the way they interacted and how their relationship was aloud to grow, not just happen, was something I seriously appreciated. There are 2 other characters in this story that have me sitting here with question marks above my head…this is where I feel like I’m missing something and although I’m not sure Ill get these cleared up when I read the first, I still feel like I’ll get a little more understanding.

The story moved a tad bit slow in parts but it was still written so beautifully that I read every word and whenever I had to set it down I couldn’t wait to pick it back up. This is an awesome read and I want the next one like 25 minutes ago…I can not wait to see where all of this goes.

Highly recommend, but read them both, I have a feeling that is exactly what I should have done!

Had to take some time to write this review because as usual Shandi has messed with my mind, I don’t know how she does it time and time again with every single book I read of hers.

This one was a bit different and I can’t help but wonder already how this story is going to develop and end, I know I will be finding out as soon as possible. My thoughts were all jacked up during this…Do I like this guy, or no? As the story progressed I realize Oh Yes I really like this guy..I was a bit unsure about Justine at first, I just wanted her to be a little stronger at the beginning, but she also drew me in quick once the story progressed. The heat between these two was something you could almost feel while reading.

I love all the little stories going on with each of them, her brother, his Dad, I have a feeling this is going to be one of those series that I will be rereading many many times, and can I just say that I have also fallen totally in love with Roman and can’t wait to see how his character is involved in the rest of this series.

She has done it again, and I highly recommend this book and even more so recommend this author. She is in a class of her own. An automatic one click for me, I don’t even read the synopsis anymore all I need is to see Shandi Boyes on the cover and it’s a no brainer!!

Evil Genius….That is one of the first thoughts I had about this author when I got over my textbook tantrum after reading the ending of this book. Well, after I reread the last page like 17 times…

I just don’t know what to say so I’ll go the easy route… This is not my first book by this author, everything I’ve read so far has had me all kinds of messed up but nothing and I mean NOTHING has messed with my mind like this little gem. I will not say one word about any plot specifics..That wouldn’t be fair to anyone that chooses to read this book. I will say though that I think I’m going to read it again. Not because I need to to see if I liked it, but because now Im scanning through my mind wondering what in the hell I missed…LOL I can’t figure it out, and I can only hope that there is another book coming, Please Please let there be another book, and the title would be pretty obvious I think. I must have more, not that it was an easy read in some parts but that didn’t matter, I could not put it down and the last 25% or so I swear I was reading in twice my normal speed.

I cant believe a book that was only 100 and some pages could be so full of as much content as this one was. Im almost speechless and will be thinking about this I just know for a few days trying to figure it all out!

Evil Genius…..I can almost picture him when he typed the last word of this book sitting there with an evil grin saying yes That will do…..

I was hooked a few books ago, but this one….you have a new Forever Fan RG Miller!!!

Brilliant, shocking, scary, eerie, mind shattering and did I say Brilliant…

I’ve read most of this authors books and she always has a way of getting me hooked early…This one took a bit and I wasn’t sure whether I understood what was going on till somewhere around the middle of the book. I knew she was building up to something I was just trying to keep myself on track to know what that was.

Even before understanding what the secret was I was pulled in and could not put this book down. Now I think back and wonder what took me so long.

This was an awesome story, and the ending floored me…I was so totally off base and had no idea who was behind the yearly reminders that someone obviously knew the secret that only 3 people should have known.

I couldn’t help but feel so very sorry for Grace through most of this book, I loved her and I really loved Maggie, although a few times throughout I just wanted to bang their heads together and wake them up.

I love this author, and she always finds a way to surprise me with her stories, you never know what your going to dive into when you pick up one of her books, Im a forever fan and will be watching for what comes next. I highly recommend this book, but pay attention and don’t give up if it takes you a bit like it did me, you won’t be sorry you hung in there.

Loved It!!

Unbreak This Heart by Betty Shreffler

5 Stars

If anyone ever asks me what I want in a book boyfriend my answer will simply be go read Unbreak This Heart and meet Carter…

What a book! What an author! This is not my first read by Betty Shreffler and it won’t be my last..and Im not just saying that, I truly mean that. I love her writing style and her books flow so nicely. Ill admit at one point during the story my whole day was ruined but I kept the faith that this author would not do that to me and whether it turned out like I thought it would or not she wrote a beautiful story. It wasn’t always an easy story to read as far as content but it was handled so beautifully.

Do yourself a favor and pick this book up, it is amazingly awesome and I loved the characters in this story, even the one I truly didn’t like, there always has to be one and this character was done perfectly. I was shocked at the outcome of his part of the story, it wasn’t what I thought was going to happen and I’m actually thankful for that.

I can’t wait to see what this author comes up with next!

Fantastic!!

Awesome!! This is my first book by this author, I read the synopsis and was curious and decided to go out of my comfort zone and read a book that would normally never hit my kindle. These kinds of stories don’t normally hold my attention and are sometimes too real and they just simply bother me. This one though…..WOW…I read every single word, and found it really hard to put down to do real life stuff. I was worried after the first couple pages that it was going to fall flat for me as these types of books normally do. After those few pages it didn’t take long and I was 100% invested in this story. All I can say is that it must be the authors writing because it was completely and utterly amazing. It was not a very long book but was so full of perfectly written content that I can not explain how much I enjoyed reading this. I am also now looking back to the first 5 of this series and do believe I will be reading them all because now I can not wait for the next. It absolutely can be read as a standalone but I can tell there’s history with many of the characters that I really want.

I highly highly recommend this story!! It was simply amazing!!

Ok not sure why I’ve never read anything by this author before now, but I will be fixing that immediately. I can not wait to start book 2 in this series and will be doing that as soon as I’m done with this review.

Chase is one of my very favorite kind of book boyfriends…Bossy, Controlling, Possessive, and most of all caring and loving. I loved loved loved how he and Katarina met. I loved the emailing part of the whole interacting with each other. Kind of reminds me of another series, and also one of my favorite parts of that.

This book had everything I love, a strong female lead that did all she could to resist the controlling alpha at every turn. The many twists and turns in this story were all placed perfectly and the last one totally came out of left field for me, never even had a thought about who was involved in that one.

There are still so many unanswered questions about these two and I can’t wait to dig in and see if I can get some answers. So looking forward to all of the next 3 books and also checking out what else this author has available.

Highly recommend starting this series, it is a well written, sitting on the edge of your seat kind of read, and I’m pretty sure there will be some kindle throwing in the future of these books.

Loved Loved Loved It!!

Wanna get away??? LOL This is the best way to do it..Pick up 1 and 2 of this series and get ready to absolutely get away.

This was as much fun to read as the 1st one, you gotta go in with an open mind and appreciate everything about these little gems. This author is awesome!!! You can tell she puts a lot of thought into these stories, little details that make them worth every page you read.

Dee absolutely cracks me up and I’m hoping somewhere along this fun ride we will get her story in a bit more detail. Not sure where we are going next in this series but I know I’ll be one of the first in line, they are just too much fun to read.

Many thanks to this author once again.

Loved it!!

I have been so looking forward to this book. I absolutely loved the first one and knew this would be be just as good and I was right…

I loved how this story started out and I usually get upset when it takes a few pages to figure out what is going on but in this one it was all part of the build up that needed to happen to appreciate it all. I loved every word in this book, there was no filler added anywhere, every single page was a needed addition and I so appreciate that in my books.

I love all of the characters in this story, I do hope I get a little more about Hannah in either the next book or books to follow, theres alot of questions I have about her and I can’t wait to find all of those answers.

It was nice revisiting Liv just a bit and getting some updates about her and I’m truly hoping that this series will continue for many books to come. I sincerely love the writing style of this author and will be one clicking any and everything she has available from this point forward.

You absolutely could read this as a standalone but I don’t recommend it as the first in this series gives you the background you need about this team and not to mention its just awesome!!

Highly recommend!! Loved It!!

Oh how I wish I had read the first in this series, not because I was lost at all in this book but because I have fallen head over heels in love with Libby LOL This is my first read by this author and I absolutely positively loved it!! There was something about the first few pages that had me completely hooked to this story and I will be going back to read the first especially knowing there is a third coming soon, and thank goodness for that because the ending of this one had me totally frustrated, probably not as frustrated as poor Libby though LOL

This was awesome, I loved the constant action in this book, there was never a dull moment and there was more than one occasion I thought I had things figured out and of course was totally off base. I loved how everything happened and I especially loved the way Libby handled her work situation towards the end, although not sure how all that will play out and what about her relationship with James…So so many questions and I can not wait for the next in this series.

This author writes an amazing story, and it was so much fun to read, and I can almost see all of this playing out on a tv show and even have some ideas of who would play who. I can’t say enough good things about this book and this author..

Loved It!!!!!

I’m not positive but Im thinking that this is my favorite so far in the Rehoboth series. Its hard because I have loved every one of them but this one was special I think. I loved this book and Chris and Brynne were awesome and I loved their story.

I love the way they started, I loved the way they interacted from that encounter to all of the scenes that followed. Chris’s secret was completely unique and not something I would have ever guessed and I loved it. I loved how others from the previous books were right there through a lot of it as well. One of my favorite parts of the story was Brynnes brother Ben and his wife Jamie and sweet little Harmony, that whole story made me smile.

The twists and turns were placed perfectly as usual and the message of facing your fears head on was very clearly described and had me on the edge of my seat for a bit. I wanted to smack both of them a few times, they made me so mad, but they also made me laugh more than once. The scene with him speaking about his dolphin had me rolling.

Once again this author has done nothing but make me fall more in love with her writing, her stories are smooth and flow so easily and before you know it you are done and are left always wanting more.

I highly recommend this book, this whole series which you don’t absolutely have to read in order but I highly suggest you do because its simply awesome and I can’t even recommend this author enough…She is hands down one of my absolute favorites and an automatic one click.

Loved it!!

So, I read this after reading all of the other Rehoboth books because I am a backwards kind of person I guess…and it was ok to do that, I would have preferred to read them in order but I didn’t so will have to just go with it 🙂 This whole series very loosely intertwines by characters from all of the books popping in here and there all the way through, but they do not have to be read in order, each one could be considered a stand alone, but no matter how you do it, do yourself a favor and read them all.

I loved this book but that’s no surprise because this author is like AMAZING and I don’t even have to read a synopsis or look at a book cover to know that it’s just automatic..If her name is on it…I read it!

This one touched me in a completely different way then the rest…Connecting to the main character was simple as there were times in my life I was in a position that I felt like all of the words and feelings in this book were my own. I found myself getting so angry at Claire and just wanting to slap her, but on the other hand I really felt like she was very strong and confident in who she was even when she wasn’t happy with how she looked. I really loved how this story was told and how real everything felt. I appreciated the building of friendships and I especially liked that there was no love at first site, I really truly never got a feel for what might happen and with who till the very end, and this was different…Normally it is very apparent what will happen and who it will happen with. I laughed out loud many times throughout as well…Her comebacks to messages received cracked me up.

I loved it, and would highly recommend it and will. Many thanks to this author for giving me all the feels, even those I am no longer comfortable with and writing a story that was not only very real but was so easy to connect with.

Primal Will: Book 3 of the Alterations Trilogy by Jane Suen

5 Stars

Sitting here staring at the screen wondering what words to use to review this book, this series, and this author…

I’ve said it before and I will repeat…You absolutely never know what your going to get when you read one of this authors books, but the one thing you can always count on is you will read the last page and say to yourself…Wow, or something similar.

This series was quick when you rate it on the amount of pages contained in it as a whole, but when you rate it on content it seemed like so much more…This last installment had me reading so fast I caught myself tripping over the words and making myself slow down so that I could savor every second of it. What an amazing storyline from start to finish, so creative and addictive and I can not wait to go back and read it all over again, but this time back to back.

I’m not going to go into the specifics of the story….It needs to be read and mentioning anything here will take away from the other books in this series…Read it..In order, I dare anyone to read this and not sit in total awe of this author and then sit at different spots during the story contemplating your own thoughts about what your reading!!

Ok Miss Jane Suen, I’ve read all of your books, and I want more…You are an amazing story teller and I can not wait to see where you take us next!! But rest assured I’ll be one of the first in line to find out!

Brilliant!!
