***4 ‘I’m Basically a Teenage Girl’ Stars*** This was a great start to a new series.  It’s a fun, cute, awkward kinda read with a lot of heart and filled with a bunch of characters I’m crossing my toes we’ll see lots and lots more of as the series progresses ~ both of the two legged and four legged variety. I loved Elena and Jack, they put me and themselves through the ringer, but I still loved them. Elena is that mix of awkward and confident that makes her extremely likeable and relatable. She’s sweet, sassy and though she has her insecurities, she also has this sense of self that I really liked. Jack is all kinds of sweet and charming, he really is, but his past has left some pretty deep wounds and it causes him to erect walls that makes it hard for others to get close, but also blinds him to quite a lot going on around him. Their journey to their HEA was a lot of fun. They both had me growling at various times throughout the book for some of their choices, b...

***5 Stars*** I gotta say I loved this book...but, as with most duets, I can only say so much. So what can I say about this baby? I loved Birdy aka Bennie aka al Jefa. This woman is perfectly imperfect and embraces it all. She’s sassy, intelligent and stubborn. She has her faults, and is well aware of them and how they could end up being her downfall, but once she makes a decision, she sticks to it. As for the romance side of things...we have Andrés and it was hard not to love the guy...really really hard not to because he’s got that alpha good man thing going on and it was potent, but then there is Arcángel, he falls on the other side of the coin and is just as potent. While the ending isn’t one of those “OMFG” cliffies, it definitely has me wishing Arcángel was on the kindle now because things are about to get all kinds of interesting for Birdy and I cannot wait to see just where everyone will end up when everything is said and done! ~ Copy provided by the author...
