So many thoughts in my head! So many emotions! I seriously cried so badly, my eyes are still red.  I don't know if I should be laughing over how darn cute and stubbornly perfect this was or crying over the heartbreak I am experiencing due to some pretty nasty things that will happen... I don't know. But one thing I know...And that thing is that Simple Perfection is one of the best books out there and it surprised the shit out of me!

“You’re my all-in, Della. I’ll throw it all away for you. I just want you. I’m all in, baby. This life with you, I’m planning on us.”

I couldn't wait anymore for this story to come to me! I was desperate after the way things ended in Twisted Perfection, with Woods Dad dying (bomb!) in the last pages and then leaving us for months to wait for the next chapter... We didn't know what was going to happen and how it was going to affect Woods. And now, I finally finished this mind tease!

Woods has a country-club to manage now that his father is gone but is mother is refusing to accept his son as the boss because he isn't giving in to her demands and leave Della. But Woods is committed to make Della a permanent stamp on his life and he will fight anyone who defies him on that matter. But what happens if mistakes are made? If things are said and can't be unsaid? And a fragile girl decides she's done being a burden and goes her own way? Is their love enough to keep them together?

My mother needed to stop acting like a child. I was all she had left. It was time she accepted Della in my life, because I was getting a ring on her finger as soon as I could convince her of it. I knew Della well enough to know that it wouldn’t be easy to get her to marry me.

When I started reading this book I had the same feeling like when I go see a suspense movie. Abbi Glines It always gets my heart rate pumping with her books.

Simple perfection was all that the tittle says it is. It's a simply perfect book. The writing is clean, fast and easy but the truer story is so complex and intricate, with detailed characters we love from the first page. I personally thought that this book was the most intense in all the Rosemary Beach series, because there will be so many secrets unrevealed, so many side stories going on at the same time and the loss of a fantastic character that I loved. This book is sad in a way but also filled with happy moments of the characters we crave to know about.

With Woods’s arms wrapped around me and the beat of his heart pressed against my chest, I knew he would hold me steady. If I ever fell, I’d have him to catch me. 

Woods and Della are much more intense now. They are basically desperately needing one another, like the more you get the more you crave and it will overpower most of the book. But it's a good thing because now both of them have things to run away. Woods doesn't want to face his father's death or his future and Della is still running from her past. These two will go trough a lot, they will fight, they will run away but they never give up. And that's something that made me to fall in love with their story in the first place.

Most people can’t overcome something like what you’ve overcome. Don’t ever think you’re less than amazing.”  

A small smile tugged at the corners of her lips. “You just love me,” she said. 

“More than life,” I replied before pressing my lips to hers.

Woods has some serious responsibility now and you always get the side of him that won't let the club down and the side that's trying to keep Della's monsters at bay. I think that's sweet. Woods has always been my nº1 guy, so seeing him finally stepping up, taking control of the club and letting Della find her own path it makes me proud.

Della is fantastic. From the first day I didn't believed her and now I regret it! She's so damn strong and she will discover so many bad/good things about herself in here, she will find her past and fight it off and she will finally accept herself. It was an important book for her. And she showed such courage that I sort of have a crush on her now....

Yes! Rush. Blaire. NATE! will be in here! All of them, all sweet and happy and perfect!

Nate was Rush and Blaire’s baby boy. He was an adorable mixture of the two of them. I didn’t normally think guys with piercings and that rough rock star look were attractive, but Rush Finlay holding a baby in his arms was very nice to look at.

Tripp will surprise us! As usual! He has always been a much better guy than he gives himself credit for, and now we kind of know why he's so afraid to go back to Rosemary. We will finally find his fear. And it makes me much eager for the day when his own book will come out, because I need a story dedicated to him. Like NOW.

Abbi Glines and her Rosemary Beach Series are my life saver. Whenever I need to recover from a bad book, I just open a page of any of her books and TADUMMM, I am happy again. Seriously, this books are legendary!

Maybe it was time to bring back my original to-do list, version two, but with a slight tweak. Find a way to disable the zombie inside me. Kill the zombie inside me. Addendum: even if I have to die, too.

First, I told Frosty no, but then he said, ‘Would I ever put you at risk, woman?’ And I said, ‘How would I know? You’ve been living a double life since we started dating.’ And he said, ‘You want me to apologize again, don’t you?’ And I said, ‘Every day for the rest of your life.’ He had the nerve to laugh as if I was joking.”

“Hey, Cole,” Gavin called from the kitchen. “You staying for dinner?” 

Cole would have seen his car in the driveway and known Gavin was here, but still his back went iron-bar straight at the sound of the other guy’s voice. “Are you the chef?” 

“I am.”  

Cole marched forward and settled into a bar stool as if he owned it. “Good. I’m starved.”  

This could not be happening. 

“We’ve got the stuff for enchiladas or roast beef sandwiches,” Gavin said, glancing at me. 

“Enchiladas,” Cole replied.  

“Sandwiches it is, then,” Gavin said.  

Cole offered him a chilling smile.

I was hoping the two of them were past all of this - they rarely speak, but it's still a vast improvement over the constant 'my penis is bigger than yours' crap they've pulled before.

"You sure do know the way to a girl's heart," I laugh.

"Yours is the only heart I ever want to make a home in." he whispers, uncharacteristically serious and with a penetrating look in his emerald green eyes that causes my breath to catch in my chest.

Broken Beauty is not a book of everybody's choice. Chloe Adams wrote a impressive story that shocks you, that portrays horror and angst and makes you feel sick to your stomach, but at the same time that brings a message of strength to everyone who needs it. I need chocolate right now...


It is a small book with a story that will be divided into six novellas, and I think that it will be very frustrating to all of us readers that want justice to wait. Especially waiting with this big cliff-hanger!!!!

Her father was a tool. Mia is the child of a politician that cares about nothing else but his career, that even after his daughter gets raped, still holds on to the idea of using that act to his advantage in elections... I mean, what kind of father is this? He was selfish, disgusting and so cold. I hated him, I completely felt revolted by this man who couldn't even dignified himself to go visit his daughter to the hospital, and even saying that the rape was all her fault. I never felt this bad about a character in a book before and I seriously hope that he gets a very bad ending!!!!

"Daddy, why didn't you come see me at the hospital?" My voice carries a tremor of emotion in it, one I hope I could prevent.

"Mia, dear, you know I would have if I had the time. Your press conference did wonders for my polls this week. Did Shea tell you?"

 I shake my head and look down.

 "You've become Daddy's-little-helper," he says with a chuckle.

 I'm  glad someone can laugh off my rape.

Mia knows she isn't the poster child for perfection so she's tired of trying. Mia was a troubled girl from the beginning, being sort of "spoiled" and even frivolous, but after THAT happens to her you immediately get a new side to her. You see The girl who wants love from her father or from anyone because she never truly felt loved. You get The girl that will be revolted and scared but will defy all that she was taught to believe in to stand up for herself. She goes from scared little mouse into a strong girl. I loved her.

 

I wanted that Dom and Keasha had more presence in the story, but mainly Dom because I know that he will be a great supporter and guardian of Mia. And possible romance?  They were both characters that I really loved to see and probably the only two honest people on the whole book! Just saying...

"Anything I can do for you?" Dom asks.

"Just don't leave."

"I won't," he says. "You play sports, Mia?"

 I focus on the sound of his voice, which is low, calm and warm. He sounds calm, like Grandpa, and looks like Cory. I don't feel scared around him.

Sadly this is a problem that happens a lot more than it should and the book described it so accurately that it only makes it more real and scarier and it made me so mad! The writing is addictive and fast.  The story was heartfelt, sorrowful and amazing and it made the whole book a wakeup call for our priorities.

Arc copy provided by Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

I realize that Jacoby is damaged. That there is a darkness about him that I know should frighten me, but I think there is something else. Something that makes me believe him, against all reason when I know I probably shouldn’t.

(...)

 I don't know what I was thinking, bringing you out here, kissing you. I never meant for any of it to happen.” He pauses for just a moment, then he continues, “No, that's not true. I knew exactly what I was doing, but that doesn't justify my actions. I wanted to. I had to kiss you at least once before he swept you off your feet and I lost the chance.” - Grey

Suddenly, something clicks.  

Not possible.  

But after everything else that has happened today, it probably is.               

Oh gross. I just called my dad hot.

 

He came up behind me, lifted me out of my seat, and sat, pulling me down on his legs.  

“Gee, if you wanted my chair, I could have moved.” 

“Who said I wanted your chair?” He tipped back a bottle of beer and drained about half of it.

 “Since Thor decided to hog the front row.” 

“I’m Thor?” he asked, sounding a bit too pleased. 

I guess being compared to a Viking war god was a compliment. I cringed inwardly at revealing that I sometimes envisioned him standing on the prow of a longboat with a horned helmet and a spear.

 “Not being able to admit you need help is manly?”  

“Asking for help is a woman’s thing,” Bo said, ducking my point.  

“We don’t ask for directions, and we don’t need help opening bottles.”  

I shook my head. “I don’t believe you. I think you’re just a Neanderthal.”

I am completely smitten to the book, from the first page and on I devoured it in one sitting because it's THAT exiting. It's not everyday that we get an original story like this one written with such passion.

I loved Lexi because she was very independent and interesting girl full of dedication for her art . Her love for the arts is so well played during the whole book which was what caused her to go to an internship in Rome, which then caused her to meet Alessandro. Every good character makes you want to scream at her during one point in the story and Lexi was no different (mainly because I don't like who she choose in the end) because she made some messed up choices that made me go mental, but like in a grandmother state of mental...

I am actually studying art as well, so all the "Sightseeing" this book provided of Rome is truly awesome. All the statues and the museums seemed to have gained life beneath Lisa Desrochers words.

Oh my goodness, this book is an assault to your heart because it will make it suffer. It's like a near heart attack every time she has to be with either Alessandro or Trent and being both so delicious, it's like a heart attack with some annoying tummy butterflies...

I really loved that Alessandro was really devoted to his life choice of becoming a priest, but I did not liked that all that man-candy made celibacy a choice for him. He was one of the most frustrating parts of the story because you knew that he was committed to God, but I kept hoping he would jump Lexi's bones and admit he loved her all the time. Guess that makes me a sinner, oh well. All that Italian/French Guy should not have a Don't touch/ Don't look sign on him, it's just mean! He was so amazing during the growth of their friendship and we get to see him a bit retracted and unpleasant at first, but as he gets to know Lexi it all changes and he becomes this dreamy character that it's so off limits. He's great, he's loving, dedicated and downright perfection! I don't usually do teams thingies but: TEAM ALESSANDRO FOREVER <3!

I like this Alessandro—the one without the white collar.

(...)

“I thought you were my final temptation, and that, if I was strong enough to resist you, I was worthy of serving the Lord.”

Trent was the deep guy, the one you love because of his beautiful words that he streams on his guitar and the one who had always had Lexis's heart.  You don't really get to know much of him so I didn't really liked him but we could see the intensity of his love for Lexi. He was also written beautifully, with a determinate mind to succeed in music to the point where he challenges everyone's expectations for him to be a fighter, I really loved that he was dedicated but he was also really stupid once or twice (Four times to be exact) and he can't be compared to Alessandro so, for me it's a: I love you and you're really good, but stay the hell away from Alessandro!

It’s always been easy to talk to Trent. Just knowing he loves me unconditionally—that he’ll never judge me, and I don’t have to hide who I am from him—it makes me feel understood.

(...)

 All of a sudden, he isn’t my stepbrother. He’s everything I’ve ever needed.

There is a problem of the step brother love going on and their reluctance to tell the world their true feelings because of it, but this "case" was so well described that you could feel their emotions, and despair over having to possibly fight their family on it. Lexi and Trent do make and awesome couple (ALESSANDRO RULES BEST, THOUGH!)

For the guy beneath Lexi's porch: What the Hell dude?

I can't explain exactly how this book is amazing because there are no words that can do justice to it, but let me tell you that if you don't want/ haven't read this book yet, you are making a huge mistake to miss out on this thrilling novel.

Collide is just pointless. I love this type of books, but this one had absolutely NOTHING good in it. I couldn't get inside the story, I couldn't understand the characters, the story was forced and predictable and there was nothing that actually appealed to me in it.


I tried to like it, I did. But it took me three days to read this and that's because I had to constantly put it down because I was either bored or, well, bored. I saw a lot of reviews that had given this book 5 starts and I can't understand how that's possible.

I hated all the characters asides Natasha. Remember the girl who said like all the time? Yeah, she was as interesting as this book got.

Emily was a mess. She had no personality and was the all-too-used character  that is very "independent", very "passionate" and very "pretty "on the inside"". Yeah, not going to happen. I cannot understand how everybody fell for this girl who can't even stand up for herself, isn't mildly strong and is annoying as hell.  She kept on complaining, and complaining that she loved Gavin but she had to stay with Dillon and blah, blah, blah.... And also suspecting that Dillon was cheating on her whilst she was doing the exact same thing with Gavin... Please, someone tell me how is she supposed to be a good character? The only interesting thing that she actually told about herself and that meant something was when she confessed that she was dyslexic. But sides from that? I wanted to scratch all of her dialogue and replace it with Natasha. ( Like, do you understand? )

He smiled. “Does me sucking on my lip bother you that much?”

Gavin is a dummy. He's supposed to be this awesome player that gets all the girls and has the big money... Bullshit. How a girl can fall into his trap is beyond me. He was a flat character and having to hear how awesome, manly, strong, beautiful and perfect he is ALL THE TIME is annoying. I didn't liked him and the way he immediately fell in love with Emily and went after her and kept playing with her even though her boyfriend was just there, for me is not a "good-get-butterflies-in-your-belly-and-better-than-ice-cream-coma-guy".

“And I’m not worried about his friendship right now. I don’t think I ever was. I’m worried about you—you, Emily—not him.”

Dillon may be the character that I also liked best as well. He did things, he moved the story ahead. Yes, he was a lying sonofabitch but he was interesting. He had depth and anger and a personality so despicable that I could actually feel interested in the story for a while just to see what he was going to do next.

I liked Olivia as well and her battle with Dillon with their name callings. She was strong and quite interesting to read about.

The entire story seemed rather forced and easily lost it's pace so I was bored out of my mind and slowly going crazy... The scenes were predictable and seen way too many times and kept repeating itself over and over. And the ending was just pointless.


Maybe the problem is me, but I did not like this book at all.

I have to go for a swim in ice cold water to see if I can cool down after finishing reading this. What a refreshing summer read, with a light but intense story that will grab your attention from the start.


This is the first book by Blue Ashcroft, so I went in a bit worried and apprehensive just cause I've never heard of this author. But it did surprised me on how good the actual book was, because it's a story that's plainly special so it fits with everyone. The writing is clean and goes straight to the point and the characters are all special, starting with their names and also their personalities and ending with their acts and attitudes. 

Rain is starting a new summer job as a supervisor in a pool after a summer where she made a fatal mistake and pledge a promise of "abstinence". It all seems to finally going well for her, well that is if you don't count the boy who is her fellow supervisor with abs of steel that is set in making her life a bit difficult. Knight also has is problems and a girl that he promised not to forget, but when Rain comes and threatens his job he should be mad but instead he finds himself quite stuck with her and her unbreakable attitude. Rain is not looking for love or any other complications, but this summer on the beach is about to give her far more than she's ready for.

There is one thing that I didn't really appreciated about this story because it all revolved around ONE problem. So, if you started reading that the main character was having a problem you already knew what it was about... It's no fun that way. It had really no variety and it started to be kind of old after a while, but there was a certain someone that always stormed in and made me forget all about repetitions. (He was the Knight in shinning armor of the book)


Knight was so adorable. In the first few pages you get him trying to be unpleasant and  mean to Rain but that is quickly for gotten after he gets to know her. He's a boy that has a certain past and problems with men disrespecting women so he is a bit possessive and sexist throughout the story, but in a good way. I really liked him and though that he had a very good constructed background and that his character had depth and reality to it. He was definitely one of the best summer boys in a book ever.

He’s as changeable as the ocean, and probably just as dangerous and powerful. But like the ocean, he draws me in, and I can’t pull away.

Finally a character that stands her ground until the end of the book! Even though I think that her vow of abstinence is kind stupid and doesn't really has a point I liked that she stick to it until the last minute, because she's stubborn and determined. Rain is a bit of a stuck up girl in the beginning for you quickly get to see the more loose side of her and start to like her.

“So you can’t fall in love,” he says, wrapping my hair further around his finger, pulling me closer. “You can’t have sex. I’m okay with the things you can’t give me. Just give me what you can, and I’ll let it be enough.”

This book is all about giving you mini heart attacks. 1- They broke up like a hundred times. 2-Rain is threatened to be raped tons of times as well. 3- There are way too many rapists in that summer place and the pool. 4- There are two very depressing deaths. 5- The friends are kind of stupid...

This book is sweet, it's fun and it's light. It has very hot steamy kisses under water and very fearless lifeguards, with just a hint of danger and a whole lot of romance. Definitely a must read.

It’s like she wants to be sad, which makes me want to make her happy, maybe then I could make up for some of the sadness I put in the world.

"That broken, lost, wandering, searching-for-something-that-will-never-exist-again Nova is not who I want to be. And while I don’t know exactly who I am, the important part is that I’m focusing on discovering it in a healthy way.”

I felt something for the first time in over a year, but what it was I’m not sure.

Jennifer L. Armentrout is awesome! It's a fact known by all of the literary community that loves great books. So her stories and characters have to be awesome as well, she just can't help it anymore but to write great things. And We can't help that we have to read every single thing she writes, because Us readers always want more and more.  Right?



J. Lynn is the queen of creating stories that stick in your mind, that change you, that humor you and that make you fall in love. And this story was no different. Frigid is all about true friendship turned Love. It's sweet yet sinful and annoyingly awesome.

 I was in love with my best friend. And it could be worse, I guessed. I could have been in love with a male stripper or a drug addict.

Syd is great. She's described as a fragile, nerdy girl that doesn't do parties and has her nose stuck in books most of the time. This girl was quite underestimated, and that's a thing that J. Lynn always makes us feel about her female characters. She gives us the whole innocent girl and then BOW, Syd goes and acts all tough and surprises us throughout the entire book. I love her unpredictability and how easy it was for us to love her.

Kyler is the character all girls love or hate. (He has a six-pack!) This type of character does not stand on middle ground. Or you hate him from the beginning because he's a bitch, or you love him because you know why he's doing it and expect more. (He has a six-pack!) I loved the development Kyler went trough during this story, he turned from a big Manwhore without a care in the world to realizing that he has to go and chase his dreams and his girl. It's cute. (He has a six-pack1) But put the boring stuff aside, this boy was Hot. He was the full package because he never failed to do one thing: He always and no matter what protected Syd.(He has a six-pack!) Kyler was protective, sweet and possessive, and absolutely a character worth reading about.

 Syd would always deserve far better than that, and far better than me, no matter how deep she lived inside of me.

 Sydney has a very emotional friendship with Kyler trough out the whole book that will drive you mad and make you sick with joy. It's basically a rollercoaster of emotions.

 "I've loved you my entire life," he said, eyes locked on mine. "And I would love you for the rest of my life if you'd let me, Syd."

The whole story is focused on this two, but strangely it does not repeat itself or become dull. It's  fast paced and always have something going on. It really addicting to see this two have their way around and read about each other's perspectives.

Frigid is a book that you will read in an heartbeat and then depress because it's over, it's that good. It's all about the romance but with some pretty scary and a few impressive fights and acts of jealousy. Definitely worth reading and enjoying.

This was just depressing. Can I say no? And No, again? Because this is a big, giant mood killer. I am all in favor of  hard relationships and working their problems out, but these two take "problems" and "mistakes" to a whole different level. It's not even interesting after a few chapters and it's revolting that when you go trough all of this reading and then get to the end and feel like you just been Bitch-slapped!

This is going to be a short review because I don't really have nothing special to say. I felt like the descriptions of places, moods and even the characters could all be shortened. There were a lot of repetitions which made the book a bit boring and too long. The story really did had ability to be better, and the storyline could be great but there were too many glitches for it to be completely readable. I had to struggle to finish it and I really did had high hopes for this book, which bummed me out.

“You’ll know when it’s love,” Holly once said. “It’ll mean something. It’ll mean everything.”

The main girl is a girl version of a Manwhore, and that's okay and I love a tough character but she was annoying as hell. Yes, I got that she loved Ballet, I also got that she was a compulsive liar because those were thing that were all over the book non-stop. But I also like that my characters have self-esteem and are brave, and I didn't see any of that in this girl. She was boring and not interesting.

Here’s the truth: I am the female version of a heartbreaker. The one that everyone says is too dedicated to ballet, too self-involved to ever care about anyone else besides herself. I’m the rebel.

Linc was the same blah-blah-blah, look-at-me-I'm-a-baseball-player-with-a-really-cute-smile-and-shit same ol' same ol'. Not cute in any aspect.

These two together were a big No. They fucked up basically everything in their relationship and just for the time they took to get together you would give up on them. 3 Years. 3 effing years that they lasted with an on and off relationship... Boring.

Lies. Untruth. We all buy into it because it’s just easier.

This book could have been so much better, but it wasn't so.... Next!

*Arc copy provided by Netgalley in return of an honest review.*

I'm on fire! An hot dark big footed fireman saving a helpless little redhead that has a very mad killer after her? Sign me up... And have you looked at this cover? It's steaming! The moment I saw this and the synopsis I was like: Are you kidding me? GIMMIE, gimmie, gimmie... And now I am Like: o.O Chika pow wow! And doing a happy dance of course... (Mainly to cool down because this book is on FIRE.)

This isn't a GREAT book, there are no "excellent" characters, the story has loopholes and it's far too predictable but there is a sweetness and rather freshness to it that turns this otherwise blah story into a my-god-I-am-going-to-die-of-all-these-feelings book. It's awesome to read about! Cambria Hebert really knew how to work with minimal details and make it into an heart racing, adorable book. (Just because a book is Adorable, doesn't mean that it's bad. It's just cute and funny and very nice. )

Yes, this is a kind of love at first sight and Yes we knew the typical yada yada of their relationship, but I never seen a cuter couple. Holt and Katie really were meant for each other.  Even I had to role my eyes when he suddenly and without knowing her (asides from saving her from a burning house) offered to take care of her, though it was such a sweet gesture and right off the bat he made a remark about how she looked like a twelve year old that I forgot it in an instant. This book is funny. This couple is funny and it's not your typical I-Need-you to-fix-me-because-my-life-depends-on-it kind of couple, it's more of a I'll-protect-you-no-matter-what-because-you-mean-the-world-to-me and it's so dam sweet that any problem about their predictableness went out the window.

“Your feet are huge,” I blurted. 

He grinned. “You look like you’re twelve.” 

“I do not!”

Holt is big. I'll explain: he has big feet, he has a big monster truck, he has to eat a ginormous bowl of cereal in the morning and he has a big...... personality. Really, you constantly have to hear how big he is at everything. But it's a good contrast to Katie (because she's tiny) and he is kind of good to read about, so it didn't really bothered me. His character is so sweet, with all his remarks and alpha male protection towards Katie made him even more irresistible.

“There goes that ego of yours again.” I held out my arms wide. “Big,” I mouthed.

Katie doesn't really have a personality. She's this bland girl, but joining the fact that someone is trying to kill her and that she keeps almost getting  burned to death, spiked her interest levels. I really liked her comparison to Holt. She's tiny and he's big, it added some really good remarks and jokes to the story...

“I’ve just gotten really used to being alone.” 

He squeezed my fingers. “You’re not alone anymore, Katie. You’re never going to be alone again.”

 I have to say that this whole killer story is badly told because it didn't gave us any suspect, and for a book to work it needs to have really dubious suspects so that you can make assumptions. But this book went straight down to the business talk and in the final chapter you already had the killers name. I think it needed to develop more and add in some characters. But it worked just as it is. Though if you are excepting a thriller book, you came knocking on the wrong door. This book is only Awesome at the romance part, and maybe burning houses, attempt to hit and run, blowing cars and kidnappings.

This a beach type book. It's light and fluffy and it will make your heart do cartwheels. Or if you are having a particularly cold day this will boil your blood instantly.

Just eighteen hours ago we got the news of who was going to play The Famous Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele... I am so excited! They totally nailed my vision of the characters so well, Charlie Hunnam and  Dakota Johnson are our new most anticipated characters ever!


Charlie Hunnam is a hotie but I never expected him to accept to be Christian Grey. The fans really did have a guy in mind to play CG and when Charlie Hunnam came out they went ballistic, but you know what? I think that Charlie is going to be the best CG ever! Have you looked at that smile? At the hair? The attitude? It screams Christian Grey. And now picture him barefoot and angry... Perfect
