REVIEW: Aligned: Volume 3 by Ella Miles

 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️PLOT:He’s alive.
I don’t know how, but he’s standing here in the doorway. A torn piece of green silk sticking out of his pocket matching the fabric that I carry with me everywhere to remember him.
My heart has been torn in two.
I don’t know who I’m supposed to love. A man that has stolen my heart or my husband who I thought was dead.
— —
He’s fucking alive.
That can’t be possible. I found someone I could finally love. Someone I want to spend the rest of my life with.
But I can’t love Alex.
Not now. I have to let her go. It’s the only way I can save her. I just hope I’m strong enough to save myself.

SPOILERS ALERT!!!

Since the beginning the book is as intriguing as the other two. I found myself wondering really hard what is Landon hiding? What did he do to Caroline? I’m afraid is going to be something along the lines of rape or abuse… Specially giving his tendencies towards BDMS and all that. I was hoping I could find out in this volume, but I guess I have to wait for the next.

And then there’s Ethan, which I can’t figure out between chapters. I didn’t know I like him or not and I had the impression Alexa was with him to find something out and to investigate him. But, as in the first two books, that impression could have changed so easily. What I do know from the start is that he and his mother somehow planned what happened to Alexa. So that puts Ethan in the “don’t like” lane even more strongly.

I was so happy when I found out Alexa rather to be call Alex in the past too. Like Landon calls her. These are the things that got me absolutely loving this book, that it keeps getting better and better.

Plus, now Caroline and Drew have a secret too - Wow, this mess keeps tangling more and more!

So I’m left with a lot of questions, AGAIN!
Who’s the killer?
Does Landon’s secret have anything to do with Alex?
Did they meet each other before?
Or is Ethan behind it all?
And, Caroline is pregnant!! Is it Landon’s or Drew’s? Because there is definitely something between Caroline and Drew!

I have that feeling where I really want to know what’s going on but I kind of don’t want the books to end either!
So, I’m jumping to the next… I’ll report the outcome soon!

Happy reading,

REVIEW: Aligned: Volume 2 by Ella Miles

 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️PLOT:My mind is a mess.
I can’t live this way anymore. He thinks I’ve told him the worst, but I’ve barely told him anything at all.
I can’t love Landon.
He just brings more confusion. I need to leave. Then I can break through the chaos that haunts me.
——
My mind has never been so clear.
I’m writing new songs faster than ever before. I’m falling for her, even as the secret that I’ve kept hidden for years threatens to reveal itself.
I can’t love Alex.
Everyone will know I’m a monster. I’ll stay away. It’s the only way.

SPOILERS ALERT!!

Wow, again this thriller left me with my mouth open! In the last book I really though Alexa was in love with Ethan and missing him after the accident but I never imagined she had lost her memories and she didn’t remember anything from her past life. But she keep surprising me and being a really brave character! I think going to NYC to find her own answers and face her demons is the best decision she ever made in this book.

I absolutely loved how Landon was incapable of staying away of Alex, no matter what. And we got to uncover another layer from his character: he was an alcoholic and like his dad, he lost control with the drinks, so he stopped. He also pushes Alex to live, to take risks because I cares about her (the best example is their scene in the cliff, awesome).

And what is it about Ethan? Was he a bully or an abuser? I’m so confused about him - sometimes he seemed nice through Alex’ perspective and other I wondered if he was mean to her. I guess I got the opportunity to find out in the next book, knowing he’s ALIVE and all! A really freaking turning point, if you ask me! Best way to end a book!ç

Maybe the only thing that seemed a little bit unrealistic to me was the fact that now Alex is a super woman and knows how to control her panic about her sex encounters. Now she seems to know what she needs when she needs it, no matter how rough or wild.

But other than that, I keep giving this thriller my 5 full stars!
Can’t wait to see what happens next!

REVIEW: Aligned: Volume 1 by Ella Miles

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
PLOT: “He’s an arrogant complication.
I don’t care if Landon Davis has sold millions of records. I don’t care that his damn crooked grin makes my panties wet.
I can’t want him.
I should be mourning, but I can’t. I just need him gone. Then I can align the chaos floating in my head.
——
She has a f*cking boyfriend.
I’ve seen the picture of them together. But Alex Blakely still wants me. And who am I not to oblige when her body is begging for me?
I need one night to own her body.
I should be focused on getting my career out of the gutter. I’ll take one night first. Then I’ll be gone.”
SPOILERS ALERT!!!!

WOW!! Just WOW!
This book blew my mind completely!! I almost don’t have word to describe how much I enjoyed it and how hung I’m on the story! I can’t wait to read Aligned: Volume 2.

I got hook since the beginning - I couldn’t stop reading and I finished it within hours of starting it. The first chapters helped me to get into Alexa and Landon’s frame of mind. I got to know that something happened to her and she lost something (and someone) important but we readers don’t get to much details and we start forming questions such as: why did she move to LA? Why isn’t she giving her full name?

Alexa come across as a very affected person - with self-esteem issues that are more than understandable considering she has scars all over her, she’s missing part of her leg and she has panic attacks very frequently. She keeps referring about herself as a monster, word that we keep reading between the lines not only from her, but also from Landon; he feels like a monster too.

But really, Landon just behaves as any rock star would: cocky, arrogant an with a huge ego. We see some of his “monster” side in the way he treats Caroline, but other than that he’s just another Justin Bieber. But while the books moves forward, we get to see Landon the guy, not the singer. He takes his time with Alex; he’s not jumping her or invading her (at least not after the first time in her house). And even if his intention aren’t the purest, I gave him points for being patient with her.

We get really good turns on the events during the chapters, like when we see Landon in the club and think nothing happen when in reality her already knows Alex is married but he goes after her anyway. This kind of spins keep us readers really interested.

Its also amazing how Ella Miles gives us pieces of Alexa’s story at the beginning of each chapter. At the end I came back to all of them and read them in order and understood better what was going on. We also get lyrics of Landon’s songs to Alex. This helped a lot to developed the characters emotional state and the motivation for their actions.

And wow! At the last chapter, the author left us in a cliff! Alexa is full of mystery: What’s going on with her mom? Is Ethan dead? Why is she lying to Landon? What is she hiding?

So, I can only give 5 enormous stars to this book and run to read the second and untangle the mess I’m in now!

Happy reading,

REVIEW: One Night with a Hero (The Hero #2) by Laura Kaye

⭐️⭐️⭐️ ½
PLOT:
He wants just one night…
After growing up with an abusive, alcoholic father, Army Special Forces Sgt. Brady Scott vowed never to marry or have kids. Sent stateside to get his head on straight—and his anger in check—Brady’s looking for a distraction. He finds it in his beautiful new neighbor’s one-night-only offer for hot sex, but her ability to make him forget is addictive. Suddenly, Brady’s not so sure he can stay away.
…what they need is each other.
Orphaned as a child, community center director Joss Daniels swore she’d never put herself in a position to be left behind again, but she can’t deny herself one sizzling night with the sexy soldier who makes her laugh and kisses her senseless. When Joss discovers she’s pregnant, Brady’s rejection leaves her feeling abandoned. Now, they must overcome their fears before they lose the love and security they’ve found in each other, but can they let go of the past to create a future together?

SPOILERS ALERT!
I’ve read a couple of books with unwanted pregnancies on the story this past week. I don’t know if it’s the universe sending me a sign or something, hahahah. But joke aside, I think everything that has landed in my hands lately has the same subject on its pages.
In every final I can only think about the fact that these books are truly optimistic about the outcome. But then again, they’re suppose to be fiction. In real life, no one is so happy about these situations and everyone tends to be frustrated at the end.

Having said that, I have to take part of this book, One Night with a Hero, out of my judgmental analysis. Because in this case in particular Brady, the father, reacted as I expected any man to react to this situation. Like a jerk - I know, I don’t have much esteem for the male kind, but sadly this proves to be true in real life. He pushed Joss away of selfish reasons and only came back when he was sure he would stay and stick around no matter what.
This made the story so much believable for me.

So, I’ll give 3.5 stars to it ;)

Happy reading,

REVIEW: Her Forbidden Hero (The Hero #1) by Laura Kaye

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
PLOT:
She’s always been off-limits…
Former Army Special Forces Sgt. Marco Vieri has never thought of Alyssa Scott as more than his best friend’s little sister, but her return home changes that…and challenges him to keep his war-borne demons at bay. Marco’s not the same person he was back when he protected Alyssa from her abusive father, and he’s not about to let her see the mess he’s become.
…but now she’s all grown up.
When Alyssa takes a job at the bar where Marco works, her carefree smiles wreak havoc on his resolve to bury his feelings. How can he protect her when he can’t stop thinking about her in his bed? But Alyssa’s not looking for protection—not anymore. Now that she’s back in his life, she’s determined to heal her forbidden hero, one touch at a time…

SPOILER ALERT!
 
What a lovely story!
That’s the general idea this book left me with - not the typical “she’s my best friend little sister and I can’t have her”.  Their issues where legit and the reasons why they avoid each other part of the book were solid.

One of the things I liked the most was the fact that it was a pretty straight forward story - non undercurrent intentions or big secrets to uncover. The characters basically say what they mean (if they could jajaj) and act as they want.

Alyssa was a emotionally scarred girl that grew to fast and was forced to be independent and solved her own life by her own. And then Marco was physically scarred and emotionally unattached to himself; his guilt and shame were like a rope cutting through his throat.

At the end, both of them understood that they could fix each other if they sticked together.

The only thing I could phantom was the fact that, if they were so close to each other back in the day, why hadn’t they keep in contact after he came back from war. I know he came back damaged but she could have call or something.

Anyway, four stars to this lovely story!
Now moving to the next!!

Happy reading,

REVIEW: Ladies Man by Katy Evans

 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Plot: 
"He’s not the guy you date.
He’s the one night stand.
You’d think the man who sends hot looks my way, who called me succulent, would want to strip me to my skin and spread me out on his bed like every other woman in Chicago.
Except he passed on my offer….
Just like I once did on his.
He’s wary, like I am.
He’s broken, like I am.
And everyone knows two broken parts can’t ever make a whole.
So I try to distract myself. I’m back to dating.
Tahoe and I are strictly friends. He doesn’t think my new beau is good enough, but to him, no man is good enough for me. Especially Tahoe himself.
But the more time Tahoe and I spend around each other, the more confused I feel.
I'm trying to open myself to love.
But I'm quickly realizing that the only man I want is stubborn, cocky, unattainable playboy Tahoe Roth.
The one your mother warned you about.
The one my body craves.
The only one who will surely break my heart." 

If you haven't read this book beware of the SPOILER ALERT!

I remember I loved the first book of this series Manwhore.
I loved the passion Rachel had for Saint and the careless attitude Saint displayed about everything in his world. I was kind of disappointed with the second book Manwhore +1 and I didn’t even read the third Ms. Manwhore.

But I have to say I think Katy Evans recovered some of that passion in this book. We can feel how Gina is falling for Tahoe little by little and, even if it gets a little repetitive with the descriptions (although I think is just Evans style), we readers kind of fall for him too.

I know he's this womanizer kind of character and it really annoys me when man characters get display as players without a care in the world, but the author got him out of that stereotype successfully at the end of the book - thou, if I have to see the man I like fuck 2 other girls, at the same time, I wouldn't think he's the best/honest man in the world the next day and I would run the other way for sure.

Anyway, I enjoy the story a lot and there were some ideas that Katy passed through some of her character that got my attention just like this one:

"No one is the way they seem. We all hide little pieces, either because we don’t want to be judged, or because we don’t think we’ll be understood, or simply because we don’t want those pieces of us to belong to anyone but us”

I totally agree with this statement and I think every human being can relate to the feeling of have something so personal, so our, that we don’t want the outside world to touch it.

I also liked Evans sticked to just one book this time, it gets to the climax faster, without that much of a drama and without more repetition.

So, at the end, I give 4 T-Rex stars to Ladies’ Man!
Waiting for Call’s book next year!

Review: Avoiding Commitment by K.A. Linde

I don’t know how to start the review for this book so I just gonna jump into it, so if you haven’t read it STOP HERE because I’m sure as hell gonna share some SPOILERS.

So, long story short - Lexi met Jack at college - they started to hang around - she thinks he wants a relationship with her when in reality, he had a girlfriend back home and was messing with Lexi’s mind and heart. She gets pissed and ask him not to lie to her anymore - so from then on, she believes that he’s going to achieved that (Mistake #1!!!!) - Then they started and on and off, not healthy at all relationship (Mistake #2) where both of them cheated on their current partners and somehow thought it was OK because it was them (Mistake #3). After all of this, Lexi still thinks she and Jack belong together (after he never committed to her and never chose her as his number one option) and gave him a chance that he clearly screwed by sleeping with his roommate (Mistake #4). They part ways until the day he called her to ask for her help and you know what she does?? She goes!!!! (Mistake #5).

There are so many mistakes this girl makes for this guy that I can even begging to comprehend... I got really pissed by her denial attitude and her delusion about her “connection” with him.

Jack is an asswhole who treats women as he please and then is just full of shit at the end. He makes so many excuse that is impossible not to believe that he is actually lying ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!

Lexi is plain STUPID - she believes everything Jack says! HE DOESN’T WANT TO BE WITH YOU! Get that already!

Is so obvious that Lexi is just the easy lay for Jack that almost hurt to keep reading while she says he’s all that she wants and that she is sure he is in love with her!

Clearly he doesn’t have a minimal clue of what LOVE is - a don’t know if it is because his parents got divorce (like thousands of parents in the world) or because he just gets plenty because of his pretty face and always wants the easy way.

Girls! Listen to me! If a man does not leave his girlfriend for you and is always making excuses about why you’re not his number one option he DOESN’T LOVE YOU!!! Is as simple as that!

At the end, Lexi loose six years of her life chasing a fantasy and hurting everyone that is around her because she’s jus stubborn. Spencer, Clark and Ramsey - all of then perfectly good men who where doing right by her, but she was always thinking with her pussy and stuck in her mind that non of them where as good as Jack.

Seriously? a relationship is much more than a pretty face and sexual connection! And she had it with all the other guys - she just didn’t want to see it.

Then, please, the part where they fuck against the wall in his birthday - he just raped her! Really - what is it with this woman that she cannot realized that??? And then she goes and almost screw thing out with Ramsey???

Sometimes is good to listen to someone else! So, Lexi, why do you have a friend if you’re not going to pay attention to her??? Chyna is the only one with a right set of mind around the situation! So at least some of these characters weren’t crazy.

And Bekah was glowing in the fact that she gets to keep Jack to herself??? If it were I, she could’d have it with a bow and everything! Why do you want a man that doesn’t respect you and clearly sleeps around with every blonde with legs?? The answer to that question is beyond me.

But seriously talking about the book, is really good the way is written - you go back and forth in time and little by little uncovers the events of Jack’s and Lexi’s story. This fact keeps you loop in what can come next... the author reserved details since the beginning of the book and just drop them one by one in the develop of the story.

I guess the story really got me tangled, which is why I’m giving it three stars, beside the fact that most of the behavior of the characters of the book pissed me off! hahahaha - this proves that is not the perfect story but the emotions that the reader got from the story what makes a book readible!

At the end, the story leave us hanging and wanting to know more about Ramsey and Lexi - Did she believed him? Are they seeing each other again? When?

I guess this is where I start to read the second book of the series, Avoiding Responsibility, to figure it out! I’ll let you know later how that goes!

Thanks for reading!

See you between the pages...

Review: The Risky Business Series by Tiffany Snow

Usually I don’t like series that are focus on the same characters - I mean, I love series where everyone is involved and each book is focus in a different couple. That’s not the case with this one - The Risky Business Series is about the exact same three characters all two (and third) books.

But somehow that didn’t stop me to enjoy them both - A LOT - and to left me hang over because I have to wait until February 2016 to know what happens next between Sage, Parker and Ryker (Yikes!!!! ).

So to this series, since I read both books really fast, I’m gonna combined their reviews into one, because is the same story.

A little overview of the books and my impressions below:

Power Play (Risky Business #1)

So, the story goes like this - Sage Reece is the Executive Assistant of Parker Anderson, Financial Advisor for the almost everybody in Chicago - Parker is rude and commanding and Sage is always running errands and working which doesn’t allow her to have a life. One of her many working days is interrupted by sexy and dangerous Dean Ryker, a cop who’s looking for Parker in his office and who’s investigating the firm for trying to clean capitals for the Russian Mob.

It turns out Parker and Ryker have a long history together and they despised each other. Obviously both of them are gorgeous and at the end Sage have to decide between her loyalty to her boss or her attraction to the cop.

ALERT!!!! SPOILERS COMING!!!!

I actually loved this book! Because although the story is quite complete is not that complicated and allows the reader to focus in the important matters of it.

Love triangle from the beginning till the end, non of them can actually stay away from one another.

Sage is obsessed with Parker (I’m going to details later), Parker is oblivious to this fact but he’s kind of attracted to Sage too and the Ryker comes and explode everything with his easy smile and confidence. 

Ok, let’s star with Sage - in the beginning of this books she’s dumped because she cannot separate her work from her life - and don’t get me wrong - I get that this is quite a job with great salary and amazing benefits (which she can’t enjoy because she’s always working) but c’mon, is obvious she does it because she’s attracted to Parker.

Let’s see the facts:

1- She’s already rich, so the excuse of paying the bills is lame. She leaves in a really nice place that her father pays for her and dressed herself in designer clothes.

2- She’s not even in economics or business - she’s an art mayor so this is not the job of her life. She’s not even looking for a job in her area of expertise!

3- Based in the fact that her only friend works in the same company, she doesn’t even tries to have a life outside the office.

So, that being clarify, is pretty obvious to me why she works for him and why she defended him so much. Even when the facts incriminated him.

Then, there’s Parker - rude with everybody, even Sage. I wonder how can you love someone who makes you pick up his s$&t all the time and doesn’t even say Thank You. But I know that happens a lot so moving on. On the inside he’s a pretty decent guy - Ex Marine, with money and manners - but who doesn’t care about anybody else emotions but his. He plays with Sage all the time and he’s undecided if he wants her or not. He even used her feelings for him to manipulated her into do whatever that he want (not cool). But I get it, he gets away because his extremely hot.

And besides, what kind of best friends sleeps with his friend’s girlfriend, not matter what she says??? &%$&·/ - Yeah, that’s what I though too.

Finally there’s Ryker, which I think is the best character of this book - even If I think the author could do a little bit more with. He’s carefree, funny, spontaneous, attractive and strigh-forward. A what-you-see-is-what-you-get kind of guy. He has his complex regarding money and is kind of judgmental about it but other than that he’s the best heart of all of the three. He gets to Sage part because he wants to find whats going on on the inside of the company, part because he wants to get back of Parker because of the Natalie thing and part because he’s attracted to her. He always treats her right and tells her the truth.

What I liked the most is the fact that they have real relationships between them. Non of this men is advocated to give Sage EVERYTHING! Both have their lives and she is one part of it, not all of it!! Also, you get hang in the mafia situation wanting to know what happens next all the time.

This is why I gave this book 5 stars!

Playing Dirty (Risky Business #2)

Sage, Parker and Ryker are back. After Sage chose a relationship with Ryker over who-knows-what with Parker, they’re struggling to keep it together. His complex about her money and her inability to leave Parker in the past get in the way. And plus, now Parker seems to have a change of heart about her and wants her for him.

In the middle of the love mess, there’s this gang which Ryker used to go undercover and that now is looking for revenge - and which better way that killing the girlfriend of the cop.

Parker and Ryker have to put their animosity aside to protect Sage.

ALERT!!!! SPOILERS COMING!!!!

I gave this but half star less than the last one. Why? Because even if I loved how the author continued the story I have to say that this could’ve go totally different in my perspective. And I’ll tell you how.

This book starts with Parker’s confession of his feeling for Sage and - to my disbelieve - he had wanted her from the begging!!!! (What a way to show it!!!). I would’ve liked that he admitted his interest had increased because she was dating Ryker which was entirely true! He acts like a boy who didn’t want his toy but doesn’t want anyone playing with it either.

So Sage picks up Ryker over Parker at the end of the last book. But she doesn’t truly give him a chance - she’s constantly playing with fire with Parker (touching, eating, drinking with him) and daydreaming about what could have been with him - fact that is not fear for Ryker. 

Then Ryker is either blind or not wanting to see the true about Parker and Sage because he gets them in pretty compromising situations and always forgives her - she puts Parker so many times first that makes me sick and even at the end, when she chooses Parker over Ryker in a life or death situation, her choose to look aside and forgive her again.

And what does she does? She goes and sleeps with Parker, AGAIN!!!!! Minutes after telling Ryker that she loves him. Ok, so let’s say that the first time is justified - Ryker pretend to try to kill her and was making out with some other chick at a bar (Although she could have let him know that it was over then and there), but the second time it was deliberate cheating with a doubt. So, she’s not better than the Natalie girl.

It’s clear from the way everything turns out in the end that Parker in the main character (although I know that, like mine, most of our hearts belong to Ryker) She loves him more, she even chooses him in front of Ryker so there’s not much to say. 

In my opinion, the only available options is that Sage stays away from both of them because the mess is too big and she could never be happy with neither after everything that had happened. But I don’t see that happening anytime soon (specially with a new book coming up) since at the end Sage chooses Ryker again and ask her father to drop her in his house. (Because if she really thinks that Parker is death, she could have gone to mourn him in her house or something like that).

Oh, and one last thing about this book - Why, oh why if Sage father is suppose to be a Italian Mob’s leader she gets in so many trouble??? How he couldn’t know about Viktor in all this time and only saves her from Leo in the end?? If he’s so powerful how can he be blind about this situation???

Once again, I truly enjoyed the fact that the book kept me hanging from the begging and than now I’m dying to read “Play to Win” that’s gonna be publish in February 2016.

Until then, I’ll be hung over once again! hahahaha

Hope you like my review and if you have something to say to hesitated in the comments below.

As always, see you between the pages!

Review: Frisk Me (New York's Finest #1) by Lauren Layne

(★★★★★ - 5/5 stars)

Official Moretti, yummi! 

There’s no other way to start this review than this one - even if the description of the book it has anything to do with the front image of the book, Luca Moretti is every girl’s hot (and wet) dream! Dark hair, blue eyes, strong body and a hero - what else can we ask???

Sorry if my initial outburst is kind of a spoiler, since I’m letting you know things you can only figure out if you read the book, but it was inevitable! In the constant comparison to Clark Kent only adds to my attraction to this character <3

But in the serious side, this is a pretty good book for a romance! Lauren Layne always does it for me thou - ever since her Redemption Series and Stilleto Series, I was looking forward to read Frisk Me, the first book of the New York’s Finest Series. And it didn’t disappoint me.

Long story short, the struggle of a NYPD cop that got caught into a social media fame based on rescue a little girl from drowning on the East River and the ambition of a journalist with high expectations on her shoulders to make the mayor break in her career at the Big City. Their path collide when she scoop the story of certain cop who’s becoming a celebrity around the media, while this cop is desperately trying to keep his secrets at secret.

That’s how Luca Moretti and Ava Sims get in each other’s lives - well at list the second time around...

Here’s where I start to spill my guts about this book, so if you haven’t read it, STOP right here - there might be some SPOILER in the next lines.

Maybe is the stereotype around it, but just to think of man like Luc in uniform it does strange things to me! hahahaha... But also, the fact that he’s such a good guy makes it even better. He’s committed to his job, to the point where he blames himself for make things right - even when the outcome is definitely not his fault.  This is surely the kind of guy that, if you find, you marry right away, no questions asked. 

And beside the incident with his partner and Shayna (the little girl who died the same day), his a values guy, with a big family that supports him and takes care of him - that makes him a very driven and confident man.

In the opposite side, we have Ava Sims - a reporter who has struggled her own life to achieve some dreams, even if the dreams are not hers. She wants to prove to her family (a very shitty one, if I must say) that she can have everything they want for themselves, but couldn’t get at their time. With nightmare family, we still can see that she’s a girl with her own personality that is a little confused by stereotypes in the media of this days - you have to be beautiful, stylish, confident and ALWAYS put together in order to nailed a job a anchor. And she’s trying her best to achieve this, even if all she wants to do is sit around in yoga pants, a T-shirt and her beloved flip-flops.

Moretti and Sims get to know each other three years before the East River video, when Luc gave Ava’s van a ticket for parking in a restricted area - the sparks flying since the beginning, even if they are arguing about the ticket - and when they see each other again, the sparks return in full force, putting them in a complicated position since their now kind of like enemies. But as events go by, they start to blurred the lines between their careers and their actual selves:

“I think the woman behind the reporter is pulled to me. Just like the man behind the cop is drawn to you.”

Chapter 16

Is safe to say that the constant hot-cold routing around the main characters got us attached to know how and when they’re gonna to connect - the level of attraction mixed with their constant fights really built the anticipations over the outcome of their relationship.

At the end, two loners end up falling for each other and realizing that nobody is perfect - not even Superman and Lois Lane (hahahaha). Everyone makes mistake and can be forgiven. And even what you thought you want your entire life and change in a blink of an eye.

So bravo Lauren Layne - with this one you had my entire five amazing stars!!!! Looking forward to the next book of this series Steal Me, Anthony Moretti’s turn to find love - the second book of New York’s Finest is going to be published on November 24th, 2015...

So I hope you had enjoy my post! 

Feel free to comment anything that cross your mind and as always...

...See you between the pages!

Review: Make Me (Broke and Beautiful #3) - Tessa Bailey

(⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - 5/5 stars)

Finally we have here the last novel of the Broke and Beautiful Series - Make Me.

The story of rough Russell Hart and posh Abby Sullivan, after we witnessed how their best friends fell in love with each other.

Again, Bravo to Tessa Bailey’s light and easy way of writing her books! I enjoyed this one the most!!!!! So uncomplicated and funny, we fall in love with the characters pretty easily.

The plot goes like this: Russell, the tough guy of the Supergroup is madly in love with Abby, the multimillionaire virgin that rents really expensive apartments to the other two broke girls of the series at a affordable amount for them, all because she thinks she’s unable to make any friends. So, Russell spends all his time in the friend-zone and fantasizing about Abby, because he thinks he’s not good enough for her - everything changes after Abby one day realize that he’s really good looking and that they have some sort of connection.

I have to say this is my favorite couple of the Supergroup! Totally opposites but son in sync at the same time - they really fulfill the needs of the other one and the way Russell loves Abby is really sweet and surreal. I enjoyed their conversations about love and their sexual interactions the most.

Great way to close a series!! So if you haven’t read it and you’re in the market for lite, uncomplicated, nothing-box reading, this is your thing!

From HERE on be aware that I might drop some SPOILERS over the lines.

Let’s get juicy on the details! Russell (OMG!!!) is amazing as a main character - is like a man-man! Handy, DIY, brave and really hard on the outside, we can see how sensible he actually is in the inside. Not only because he’s always caring for Abby, his family and friends, but also because he has his family issues to cope with. Finding his mother dead by depression made him a little rough on the edges, but not incapable to love - in fact, from all three male characters of the series, he’s the most emotional one - and that contrast with he’s outside is what makes even more interesting.

Then, there’s Abby - a rich girl who seems to have it all, except real relationships and experience in her life. Raised in a family where there was no allow to make mistakes because you ended dealing with them alone, she always felt like an outcast. Up until she decided to “buy” herself some friends by renting the rooms of her how at a cheap price. But even then, who really made her feel like she belong to someone was the cranky friend of Roxy’s boyfriend who was always there, no matter what she said to him. Being inexperience emotionally and sexually, it takes time for her to realize that what she had been sharing with Russell is not a normal friendship but something different.

Mix all that with a sexual chemistry accompanied by kind of dominant sex and the result is great! Because, beside from the fact that Russell wants to protect Abby from EVERYTHING so she doesn’t end like his mother, the kind of rough and direct way he treats her in that heated moments makes this book even more fun.

So I’m giving it five shining stars and I’m really looking forward to read new things from Tessa Bailey!

Hope you had enjoyed my review - feel free to add anything that you want down there.

As always, see you between the pages...
