Evil ~ Tijan

You know that group of people in school that everyone fears? Popular. Beautiful. The in-crowd?

That was my family. Kind of. 

We were above that group. We held court over everyone else. We were the best looking. We were the mysterious and elusive ones. Most of the girls wanted to (and did) date the guys, but they didn’t want to be one of us. They couldn’t be. They were our prey.

We were the feared.

But like every family, nothing is as it seems. That was my truth.

Kellan was in his own league. He was our leader and he was the one no one messed with. No one dared. He was ruthless, powerful, and no one could match him…

Except for me.

I was about to find out just how different I was from my family.

I love paranormal and it's been a while since I picked one up!

Kellan was mysterious, secretive and so protective he's what kept me reading

wanting to know more, see where all the drama would lead us..

Not sure if I set my expectations too high?

I love TIJAN and was looking forward to her next release and the whole paranormal spin had me diving in!

Shay had me intrigued at first but then she sort of felt like she was always confused, unsure.. Not wanting to accept certain things .. which I won't go into since I don't want to give anything away..

The other two secondary characters are what sort of put me off I think..

But I saw their necessity.. they're the ones that kept Shay on her toes..

Maybe if it was a bit longer I would have liked more?

There was just so much build up, suspense and mystery that when it all got wrapped up in a series of events it was just too much all at once..

Overall a suspenseful paranormal read with more of a YA vibe I wish was longer..

A Thousand Boy Kisses ~ Tillie Cole

One kiss lasts a moment.

But a thousand kisses can last a lifetime.

One boy.

One girl.

A bond that is forged in an instant and cherished for a decade.

A bond that neither time nor distance can break.

A bond that will last forever.

Or so they believe.

When seventeen-year-old Rune Kristiansen returns from his native Norway to the sleepy town of Blossom Grove, Georgia, where he befriended Poppy Litchfield as a child, he has just one thing on his mind. Why did the girl who was one half of his soul, who promised to wait faithfully for his return, cut him off without a word of explanation?

Rune’s heart was broken two years ago when Poppy fell silent. When he discovers the truth, he finds that the greatest heartache is yet to come. 

Perfection!!

There will never be enough words to describe how this book made me feel..

There won't be enough pictures to portray the beauty that this book made me see..

And there definitely won't be a lack of reviews telling you how amazing this book is!!

It's a lesson on life told through the experiences of  two best-est of friends.. 

For Infinity.. Forever and Always!!!

A love so pure and innocent flourished on the cherry blossom fields of GA ..

The feelings of helplessness being so young and not having a say as to where life will lead you is gut wrenching.. 

The cruel harsh reality of Life... time moves on.. time changes us..

What will be will be!!!

This book will forever change the little things I take for granted 

I will now stop to feel the warmth of the morning sun on my skin

and will smile when I feel the wind brush across my cheek!!

Bravo Tillie Cole you are an amazing author that has taken me on so many journeys!!

And I'm sure many more to come!!

Broken Lens (Through the Lens, #2) ~ Shannon Dermott

Although this book is the second in the series, it’s been written to be read as a New Adult Stand Alone novel. You do not have to read book one, which is a young adult novel, to enjoy. 

No one said love is ever easy. And for Jess, he would ride his Harley to heaven and back for an eternity with her arms wrapped around him. That makes leaving her that late summer day to head to separate colleges the hardest thing he has to do. Still, he thinks that they could beat the odds and prove everyone wrong, until one drunken night and one sober confession.

Through the jagged edges of a broken lens, he’s faced with the reality of his choices. And fixing the pieces of Jess’s broken heart may be impossible. Without her, he’s left with only a mother who hates him and marks him as a dead man walking. And that’s not the only truth that has the potential to destroy his life.

The upcoming trial will reveal the defendant’s motivations for the crimes committed against the people he cares about. But that guy’s not the only one who’s guilty of something. With a cloud of mistrust hovering around him, can he keep Jess safe from his past? Can she or anyone forgive him for his secrets? Will he win the one girl he’s ever loved back or will he lose her forever?

*WARNING* This book is rated a New Adult book, which means it can contain foul language and sexual situations. Please be warned in advance.

This was an easy paced story taking place right where Through the Lens ended.

This one can be read as a stand alone but I did enjoy having the back story and knowing 

how Ethan and Jessa came to be.. We get Ethans POV in Broken lens and get flashbacks 

into his past relationships with Carly, Allie, his parents as well as his first thoughts on 

when he met Jessa. 

Ethan is damaged, he has mommy issues since his mom has it out for him and we find 

out why, he's been through so much but somehow manages to keep it together as long as 

he can.. Women just throw themselves at him and he seems to stick his foot in his mouth 

just about every time he's around Jessa which is funny since that was never the case 

before he met her!!

Jessa has always been insecure and it doesn't help that her boyfriend is a chick magnet. 

No matter how much Ethan tries to reassure her.. She's it for him ~ 

Jessa just always seems to jump to conclusions - I guess it's more the age aspect of it 

that accounts for her immaturity,

and is really the only thing that annoyed me a few times.. But One thing she did do 

right was always tell him how much she loved him.. Which is all Ethan ever wanted!!

SO much starts to unravel towards the end, secrets are confessed, questions are 

answered and mysterious events are solved. Some jaw dropping but thankfully all

 providing closure..

A read I recommend but it's definitely more on the YA side..

Obligation (Underground Kings, #2) ~ Aurora Rose Reynolds

This is a standalone by an author who believes in love at first sight.

[ob-li-gey-shuh n]
An obligation is a course of action that someone is required to take, whether legal or moral.

At six years old, Myla was sent to a family her father and mother had chosen for her when they knew their time on earth was almost up. What they were unaware of was what they thought would be her safe haven would become her living hell.

Kai has been watching Myla from afar since he took over the family business from his father and inherited the responsibility of keeping her safe. When word gets back to Kai that Myla is not only in danger, but that his assets are being compromised, he immediately jumps into action and does the only thing that can be done at the time by marrying her.

Neither Myla nor Kai would have thought that something that started off as a farce would become the most important thing either of them could've ever done.

I KNEW I was going to fall for Kai from the moment he made his appearance in Assumption.. So brooding and commanding!!

Ms. Reynolds gives us a great storyline, action packed, tons of sexy scenes, a teeny bit of angst, some really funny scenes and one Scorching Hot Alpha male! Yum, Yum, Yum...

I went into this book thinking one thing, shortly after realized I was TOTALLY wrong but definitely not disappointed in the least.. then finished it with a great Big Smile and sad to have it end

 **sigh**

Nothing was as it seemed.. Even though the marriage was looked on as an Obligation these two were seriously drawn to each other and had some history and skeleton's in their closets that slowly unraveled..

"We just consummated our marriage on our divorce papers."  

   "That's very Caveman-ish"

Kai was the Ultimate Yum-tastic Alpha and Myla soaked up and loved every minute of it.. As did I while reading. I fell in Love with all the secondary characters, Kai's family and can't wait to get my hands on Distraction Sven & Maggie's story..

A Fabulous read I couldn't put down!
