***4 Stars*** I knew going into this book that it would be one of those that would give me a lovely case of whiplash and or sore eyes from all the rolling and I was spot on. Canaan and Maggie’s second chance romance did a number on me in the frustration/irritation department, but mixed in with that was a lot of heart and sweetness and my curiosity as what it would take for Maggie to crack kept me turning the pages until the very end. Canaan and Maggie took me on a roller coaster of a ride with their journey. I didn’t necessarily flip flop over whose team I was on because they both contributed to the demise of their marriage as well as their five year separation. I was equally on both teams because what I saw were two people who were still in love with each other and needed to confront and come clean about what tore them apart the first time and see if they could work past it. It was a long and somewhat frustrating road and yet satisfying as they both finally give each ...

***4 ‘I See You. Only You.’ Stars*** First off: THAT cover. Did anyone else picture him arching a brow at you and you immediately dropping to the floor and crawling over to him without thinking twice about it? Yes? No? Well...anyways that cover is HAWT. Now about the actual book. This book is one of those that I couldn’t put down. I couldn’t. And yet at the same time it made me want to toss it into the freezer for a time out. I swear my eyes hurt from all the rolling they were doing and I should have an indent on my forehead considering all the times it met a solid surface while, but despite how frustrating certain things were, this was seriously a swoon worthy, make your heart all kinds of wonky and twitterpated read and quite honestly all the swoony goodness was because of Soren Decker. So, yeah. I ADORED Soren. I wanted to Gibbs smack him quite a few times, but I adored him. He’s got that whole “Younger brother I never wanted” thing going on with some of his mo...

***4 ‘We Define Them’ Stars*** I’ll admit that I waffled over this one before deciding to dive in because all I could think was that this book would be an all out angsty shit storm and I didn’t know if I wanted to dive into that pit of emotional chaos, but my enjoyment of the author’s writing style and damn curiosity got the better of me and I decided to go on the ride and I was pleasantly surprised. Though the emotional rollercoaster wasn’t as chaotic as I thought it would be, I enjoyed how the story ended up playing out. Camryn’s life hasn’t been an easy one, but the one bright spot in it has always been Brecken, her best friend and love of her life, until he’s taken from her in the most final way possible. I had an odd relationship with Camryn because half of me admired the conviction behind the choices she made and the other half couldn’t believe that she did what she did and stuck with them. Vague? Yes, but to say more will make me venture into spoilers and that c...

***4 “Worth It All” Stars*** I seriously devoured this book (IWasSupposedtobeDoingtheWorkThingShhhhh) and I lay the blame for that entirely on Matt Adams’ shoulders. Being in his head in that opening chapter was what willing shoved me down the rabbit hole and I NEEDED to see how much of a clusterf*ck these three would get themselves into and how they would work it out and I wasn’t disappointed. Mister Wrong was a fun, quick, smexy and sweet character driven read about how one split second decision can rip your world apart and become the best thing to ever happen to you. I adored Matt right from the start. What I loved about him is the exact same thing that had me wanting to smack him upside the head. He is the type of person to do something anonymously for another and as long as that person was happy, he’s happy, even when that person gave credit to another. That drove me batshit crazy. I loved that he was that guy who just did, but I wanted him to speak up for himsel...
