ANYONE BUT YOU BY AMY HELMES & KIM ASKEW (REVIEW)





DESCRIPTION:
The Montes love Italian food. And they hate the Caputos, That's how it is. It's been that way for sixty years. Every time the Caputos start to get a reputation for great pizza (and who knows? It could be better than the Montes!) there's "an accident" and Cap's is knocked back on its knees. What nobody knows is that the family teenagers are sick of their parents acting like schoolyard bullies, when nobody even remembers why the fight started! Gigi Caputo and Roman Monte, the son and daughter, are secretly in love. Determined to put a stop to their parents' vicious feud, they risk their parents' livelihood and their own lives. In this nod to Romeo and Juliet, will love win? Or vendetta?

MY REVIEW:
I REALLY WANT TO APPLAUD BOTH AUTHORS FOR HAVING THE COURAGE OF WRITING A STORY BASED ON ROMEO AND JULIET. THEY BOTH GAVE THIS STORY A SPECIAL TWIST TO AN OLD SHAKESPEARE STORY, AND THEY DID AN AWESOME JOB. THE STORY IS WRITTEN IN TWO PARTS, SWITCHING BETWEEN TIME PERIODS. SOMETIMES IT WAS HARD KEEPING UP WHEN THE CHAPTERS CHANGE INTO ANOTHER TIME PERIOD BUT IT REELS YOU IN A WAY THAT YOU WON'T DARE STOP. TO BE TRUTHFUL I NEVER READ ROMEO AND JULIET AND AFTER READING THIS BOOK, IT LEFT ME WANTING TO READ THE STORY JUST TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHARACTERS. 

I LOVED GIGI'S (JULIET) AND ROMAN (ROMEO) ROMANCE. I LOVED BOTH CHARACTERS WHICH IS HARD TO SAY WHEN YOU READ OTHER BOOKS, I USUALLY END UP LOVING ONE OR THE OTHER. 

IN THIS BOOK YOU WILL NOT ONLY READ ABOUT  THE ROMANCE BETWEEN THE MAIN CHARACTERS BUT YOU WILL READ ABOUT  HOW THE FEUD STARTED BETWEEN FAMILIES. SO I WILL SURELY AND GLADLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO EVERYONE, SPECIALLY IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING NEW TO READ, SOMETHING DIFFERENT. 

I GIVE THIS BOOK ★★★★★

Being Sloane Jacobs (Review)

 January 7, 2014

Description:
A new novel about following your dreams . . . and finding your heart from the author of Meant to BeMeet Sloane Emily Jacobs: a seriously stressed-out figure skater who choked during junior nationals and isn't sure she's ready for a comeback. What she does know is that she'd give anything to escape the mass of misery that is her life.

Now meet Sloane Devon Jacobs, a spunky ice hockey player who's been suspended from her team for too many aggressive hip checks. Her punishment? Hockey camp, now, when she's playing the worst she's ever played. If she messes up? Her life will be over.

When the two Sloanes meet by chance and decide to trade places for the summer, each girl thinks she's the lucky one. But it didn't occur to Sloane E. that while avoiding sequins and axels she might meet a hockey hottie—and Sloane D. never expected to run into a familiar (and very good-looking) face from home. It's not long before the Sloanes discover that convincing people you're someone else might be more difficult than being yourself




My Review:
If I have to describe this book with one word it would be ADORABLE..This book would be awesome for TEENS! The topic of this book is more based on the girls trying to run away from their problems. I wish this book had a bit more romance on it. Me being a fan of hockey I appreciated the talk about the sport on this book. This book was written pretty good for being told from two POV. I would recommend to be given as gift to Teens.

SKATER BOY AND MY SKATER BOY BY KAY MANIS (REVIEWS)


Description:
For 25 year old attorney, Hindley Hagen, life is all about staying one step ahead of the game. Avoiding surprises and keeping people at a distance is the only way she has to protect herself from the painful scars and shattered memories of her past. When Hindley is offered a new position at her prestigious Austin law firm as sports agent for pro skateboarder, Rory Gregor, she’s ready for the new challenge but completely unprepared for the man who captures her heart. Suddenly, Hindley is thrust into a world where protecting all their secrets could cost her everything; her family, her career, and maybe even her life. 

Professional skateboarder and X Games royalty, Rory Gregor knows what it’s like to be at the top. But after two years of bad decisions and one-night-stands, he’s having to make a comeback he never anticipated. Hiring a new agent may be what his team thinks he needs to rebuild his career, but what if it costs him his heart in the process? Just when he thinks he’s posed for a comeback, secrets from his past threaten to ruin his chance for gold and a new love. In a sport where trust means everything, this time... it may not be enough.

MY REVIEW: 

Skater boy is romantic, funny, Sexual, and Heartbreaking. I love both main characters stories. The both have their problems and they feel unworthy of each other. Rory is one hell of sexy man, cocky but romantic. Hindley is so down to earth and humble. I recommend this book to everyone. This book will leavie you satisfied as it has everything from romance, to serious personal topics, to funny quotes, to talks about Xtreme sports (which I love by the way). Make sure to read My Skater boy, This books deserves 5 stars.




Rory the hot skater, his explosive, dangerous, and player but he can be sweet, caring, and romantic.

Find out the dramatic conclusion to Book 1 of the X-Treme Boys Series, Skater Boy. 

For the first time in her life, Hindley Hagen has something she’s always looked for, unconditional love. As the attorney and sports agent for X Games golden boy, Rory Gregor, she’s worked hard to help him make a comeback in a professional sport that isn’t always so forgiving. This time, he’s won more than just a gold medal, he’s captured her heart. But now, she’s trapped, caught in the snare of a man playing a deadly game. She must choose, protect the one man who’s made her come alive for the first time in her life or risk losing everything she’s worked hard for, including him. To save them both, Hindley must do the unthinkable or face a life without the one thing Rory Gregor has finally given her; hope. But protecting them means her own demons may surface and from that, there is no recovery. Hindley must learn the hard way, in love and life, there is no such thing as a safe secret. 

Trust isn’t something that comes naturally to Rory Gregor. Even his own professional achievements as an X Games multi-gold medalist can’t wash away a childhood filled with abuse, which has left him with a lifetime of insecurities and self-loathing. But now, he’s finally found a woman who makes him feel the one thing in life he never thought possible-smart. With Hindley Hagen by his side, he’s skating better than ever, securing deals that could make them both rich. Yet something is off. Just as he gets inside the walls she’s constructed to guard herself, she pulls away again. She’s hiding something. But then, so is he. 

As their need to protect one another grows to escalating heights with deadly consequences, will Hindley and Rory finally find the future together they so richly deserve? Or, will they discover the one thing that could destroy them both forever is actually each other? Find out in this exciting conclusion to the first book in the X-Treme Boys Series, Skater 

MY REVIEW: 

So Many unexpected turns in this book, which make his book so great. Heartbreaking scenes that will leaving you with tears in your eyes. Rory is so explosive but romantic, he is dangerous but adorable. He is funny too. In this book secrets will be revealed, you will be shock for sure. In a few chapters my jaw was hanging on the floor. I was in rage knowing what a person can do when they dont have self esteem even when they are so beautiful in the outside. I have to give this book 5 stars and yes this book is that good. Living you like you are in roller coaster that will mess with all of your emotions. Your going to be laughing, crying, screaming.

TAKE A CHANCE BY ANNALISA NICOLE (REVIEW)

Willow Emery is in the middle of chemotherapy when she literally runs into Asher Wellington on the sidewalk after treatment with a rather unfortunate outcome. She is alone in a new city and doesn’t need anyone in her life. If life has taught her anything it’s that you can’t rely on anyone. 
Asher is a young widower, devastated by the tragic death of his wife Olivia three years earlier. He has given up the idea of ever finding the kind of love that he shared with his late wife. Will one fateful day bring two lost souls together? Will taking a chance lead them to a happily ever after or will the challenges they face keep them apart? 
This is a mature audience book and is intended for adults only.

MY REVIEW: THIS BOOKS IF FULL OF ROMANCE, IT MAKES YOU FEEL HOPEFUL THAT OUT IN THE WORLD THEIRS SOMEONE WAITING TO MEET YOU. THAT DESTINY EXISTS AND THAT IT HAS A PLAYFUL WAY TO MAKE THINGS HAPPENED. THE TOPIC ABOUT CANCER IS TALKED IN THIS BOOK BUT IS SO PROFESSIONALLY DONE, I LEARN A FEW THINGS ABOUT CANCER I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT. I LOVE A LOT OF SCENES ON THIS BOOK, THEY WERE SWEET AND FUNNY. THIS BOOK IS BETWEEN #FIFTYSHADESOFGREY AND THE REASON WHY I SAY THIS IS BECAUSE ASHER REMINDS ME SO MUCH TO CG. ANOTHER BOOK THAT IT REMINDED ME OF IS #SAFEHAVEN BY NICHOLAS SPARKS SO IF YOU LOVE THOSE BOOK YOU WILL LOVE THIS.  I GIVE THIS BOOK 4.5 STARS AND THE 0.5 THAT I DIDN'T GIVE WAS JUST BECAUSE THE TOPIC OF THE ASHER LATE WIFE, WILLOW WAS TOO NICE ABOUT IT AND SO FAST. I GUESS I WOULD ACCEPT IT BUT NO THAT FAST. BUT I TOTALLY RECOMMEND IT. 

IF YOU LOVE GREAT BOOKS WITH AN AMAZING STORY LINE GO AND BUY THIS BOOK: http://www.amazon.com/Take-Chance-Running-Into-Love-ebook/dp/B00GBJB94A/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1385527676&sr=1-1&keywords=annalisa+nicole

Over It: Kiss Off Novel Book 2 by Sarah Billington (Review)

Description

Warning: Sexual references, occasional coarse language.

Teen YouTube songwriting sensation Poppy Douglas's lead singer boyfriend Ty's been criss-crossing the country and living it up on tour for months while Poppy has been stuck in the boring suburbs, finishing out the school year.

But it's Summer now, and the best thing just happened: Poppy's royalties for writing the hit song The Kiss Off just came in. She's minted, and she knows just what she's going to blow it on.

Ty's band Academy of Lies are headlining a summer music festival, and Poppy is taking her girlfriends along for the best weekend of their lives. It's all organized: the weekend is going to be full of camping under the stars, backstage passes, VIP rooms and partying like rock stars, not to mention some long awaited one-on-one time with America's favorite front man.

Except, when someone drops out of the trip and Poppy takes the opportunity to mend a broken friendship, it doesn't quite go according to plan. And when she meets her boyfriend's BFF from another band, the paparazzi form their own totally wrong conclusions. There's also the matter of Ty's 'super fan' stalker, but the less said about her the better.


The biggest test of all comes in the form of an opportunity too good to pass up. But will insecurities and jealousy stand in Poppy's way? Can Poppy and Ty's relationship even survive it?

Life is about to get much more complicated for Poppy Douglas, but what can you expect when your boyfriend is a rock star?

MY REVIEW:
Just as I loved The Kiss Off, I love this sequel. This book is fun, Romantic and full of excitement. Is so hard to find book sequels that are as amazing as the first book.In this book like I did on the first one I loved all the characters. Ty is a hot rock star with a heart of gold,but like it normally happens Fame changed him. Jealousy blinded him. Poppy is one amazing female character, she is funny, talented and a great friend. This my sound weird but one of my favorite characters of the book is Gordo. He was always their to help poppy, and to say the truth I would of love a romance between him and poppy. I was kind of surprise they didn't end up at least kissing LOl. Well with out writing more spoilers I would say I will 100% recommend this book. But first go and buy The kiss Off than enjoy Over it. 
And hurry both books are only 99 cents, Enjoy this special price while it lasts!!

Dr No Commitment by Virginia Taylor (Review)

Description

A mischievous romantic comedy, about a man who’s always run from love and the girl who just might catch him.Ally was warned about Rohan Sinclair when she first moved to town – and she is determined she won’t let this gorgeous, model-dating doctor distract her from being the best nurse she can be. Problem is, this bad boy just happens to live in the room next door . . .It’s hard enough to resist his persistent charm at home; almost impossible when they are thrown together at work . . . But a little innocent flirting never hurt anyone, right?Wrong. Ally knows it’s a terrible idea to fall for a man who will never commit, but what if in every other way he’s her perfect guy?

My review:
I love Rohan he is so cocky that is so sexy. He is full of insecurities and his Past makes him afraid of commitment. This book has so many twists. I love how he was the one afraid of commitment at the beginning than that changed. It's not big of a romance novel is not all roses and chocolates or dedicating music, but is more like I am going to use you for sex and your going to like it. They are both strong characters. They both have great jobs and she knows she doesn't need him or anyone for that matter. This is a great book I truly recommend it..
My Rohan
