Resisting the Rebel by Lisa Brown Roberts BOOK REVIEW!

Resisting the Rebel by Lisa Brown Roberts

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hooked from the first few pages! Such a great book!

"..too bad, because even though she was everything he hated about high school wrapped up in one sparkly package, she was still intriguing"

It was a short, fluffy read and I loved every bit of it. Cliches included! Yeah it was a little predictable, but every now and then you want those kind of books and I needed it!

Caleb and Mandy are so freakin' cute! I love how you could feel the attraction between them from the very beginning even though they are such polar opposites!

I think everyone loves a bad boy and thats what Caleb Torres comes off as. Mandy is attracted to the "good guy" Lacrosse guy.. so why does she keep thinking of the Demon?

"Sometimes the scariest villains look the most innocent. And heroes don't always wear white."

I received this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Keep Me Posted by Lisa Beazley BOOK REVIEW!

Keep Me Posted by Lisa Beazley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Keep Me Posted was an enjoyable read. I liked that fact that it's more like a diary then anything else. It had me hooked wanting to know how everything was going to play out.

I love the relationship between Sid & Cassie. Sister's who just wanted to keep in contact by writing letters. Which I have to say is one of the reasons I picked up this book. I love books that are slightly different or have things like letters in them. There's not a lot out there so I was happy to read this one.

I didn't really connect with the characters though. Cassie came off a little whiney to me and I felt bad for Leo. They didn't communicate and I think that's why they were in the position they were in.

Overall it's a good read and if you like diary type books you should read this one!

From Here to Home by Marie Bostwick BOOK REVIEW!

From Here To Home by Marie Bostwick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Going into this book I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not. I mean it sounded really good but the whole quilter aspect threw me a bit.

Even though it was a big part of the book, I really liked the quilting aspect! Which really surprised me!

It didn't take me long to really get into it though. Mary Dell is such a fun character, she really would be the life of the party. I really liked Holly. I think she might have been my favorite in this story, but then again I liked Rob Lee too.

From Here To Home wasn't just a simple story. It had different issues weaved throughout. Like her son Howard having Down Syndrome and learning to cope with him wanting his own independence. Rob Lee and Stormy the horse both suffering from PTSD.

And I have to mention that I love Robyn Carr and when I saw that she did the little blurb on the cover I knew I had to read it!

From Here To Home is full of friends, family, new love, challenges, old love and humor! You should read it!

No Falling Allowed by Melissa West BOOK REVIEW!

No Falling Allowed by Melissa West
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

"One mind-blowing, soul-wrenching perfect night that had shaken me from my head to my toes, and now it was like my body didn't know how to function."


I loved this book! No Falling Allowed is my first Melissa West book and it will not be my last! I loved her writing! I love Grace & Noah! Swoons I love Noah! Sexy, sweet, AND a southern guy! I could read a whole series with just him! I love how strong and confident Grace was! She's definitely not the type to let anything get her down...well for long anyways!

I wish this book were longer! I want more!

No Falling Allowed was so well written and even though Grace and Noah come from completely different backgrounds.. on some level they are both relate-able and I love that!

"Oh my God. Oh my God! In less than twenty-four hours I would be in the same town as the guy who'd single-handedly rocked my world...and then shattered my pride."

The Girls in the Garden by Lisa Jewell BOOK REVIEW!

The Girls in the Garden by Lisa Jewell
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was my first book by Lisa Jewell and I enjoyed it.

The characters were great, I love how she writes, it definitely made me feel like I was there.

When I first started it I thought I knew what was going on but the story itself is a lot more complicated than you would think. I love books make me think and this book did that.

Good read! I'd totally recommend!

Where I Lost Her by T. Greenwood Review!!

Where I Lost Her by T. Greenwood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I don't know where to start so I'll start with the cover. I love it! Everyone says you can't judge a book by the cover.. and to an extent I think that's true.. but the cover is what makes you WANT to pick up the book to read the back. This cover definitely drew me in!

I love T. Greenwood's writing. I've been a fan of her for a few years now after I found her book Grace (still one of my all time favorites). I can't compare her writing to anyone because it is truly just her. The world she created for Where I lost Her was at times dark and hopeless, every now and then we'd get a glimpse of something good happening.

The story as a whole I loved it. I love the suspense. It is beautifully written.

Tess is in her mid forties and desperately wants a baby. 8 years ago Tess & Jake went through the motions of adoption a baby and it fell through horribly.

When Tess sees a little girl in only a tattered tutu & lady bug rain boots she tries to help her but she runs into the woods. She follows her but doesn't get anywhere so she goes to the police and they start searching.

Lt. Andrews.. I wanted to punch repeatedly.. I'm serious. He doesn't believe Tess, he thinks she's hallucinating and doesn't nothing to help find the little girl. I hate him.

I would've have like to see more between her and Jake.. but honestly I loved the story the way it was.

The side characters were great as well. Tess definitely needed to lean on her best friend Effie. I love their friendship their "sisterhood". The bond they have is great. Love Plum and Zu Zu! What crazy names but they fit perfectly!

I can't wait to get the paperback! I know it's gorgeous!

Knot by M. Mabie REVIEW!

Knot by M. Mabie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

"I wish I could mute my memories of her, but that laugh will haunt me forever."

I couldn't want to dive into this book! It didn't disappoint!

Before I read it, I wasn't sure what to think about Nora. I guess I had a different picture of her in my head. I loved being able to get into her head as well as Reggie's. I really liked seeing their relationship from start to finish! Man, it was hard to read though! I mean you could feel the tension coming off the page.

"Take all of me. Even ugly parts that don't deserve you."

My stomach was in knots (pun intended) from start to finish. I didn't know how it was going to play out so I think I was just as nervous as Reggie!

"I needed stability because my center of gravity had fallen to the floor."

I ended up really loving Nora. She is such a troubled soul. I think more so than Reggie. I LOVE the push and pull of their relationship. The power struggle between the two .. oh my god. I love that she reads cookbooks! I know that's random but I loved it!

"This kiss was the lightning you see before a storm, and I prepare myself for all hell to break loose."

M. Mabie does it again with Knot! I loved it!
