Tall, Dark and Handsome - Amelia Wilde

Image
  BLURB   Cannon Hunt checked all the boxes to be a superstar. He wasn’t supposed to check  my  box.   The silver screen is my life, and this time, the director’s chair is  mine. So only serious actors need apply. I’m making a gritty war film, not a sappy romcom.   Cannon is the last person I want to cast in my movie  or  my life. His face is so perfect he could model...and he does. His body is so cut he could be a Greek statue. And his eyes? Don’t get me  started  on his dark, take-me-now eyes.   He’s the studio’s pick for leading man. I can’t escape him. And I can  never  admit the truth: I don’t  want  to escape.   One touch could bring down my entire career. But when he finally whispers my name... I can’t say no. Kamisa’s Review: This was an easy and fast read. It was my first Amelia Wilde book, and the characters were cute and likeable. There were eno...

Pull You Through - Kaylee Ryan

Image
Blurb: Slade Life is a series of events, one leading you to another. The hell I lived through with my drug-addicted parents led me to the Marine Corps. Committing my life to my country was easy. My brothers were my family–all I had and all I needed. I wasn’t looking for her, but I should have known life had other plans. It led me to her. Austyn the moment we met, I knew he was different–I just didn’t realize he’d change my life. He was a guy on leave, an acquaintance. Until he was something more, something unforgettable. I never imagined he’d leave ten days later, taking a piece of me with him. Then again, maybe I did know. I just didn’t care. He was worth it. My Review: I have to admit that i find it hard to write this review. I was excited for the book and started it the minute I got my hands on the ARC. Slade has been through some tough stuff in his life, and my heart hurt for him. It was a nice contrast to Austyn, who had everything a girl could want. It was...

Image
Synopsis:  Lea Lamb and Austin Wolf were young when they fell in love. They never imagined the future could hold anything other than together-forever. When Lea’s father dies in a tragic fishing accident, she's crushed under the weight of her grief and catches a glimpse of another type of future, one she knows she's not strong enough to face. Austin is angry. For the past fifteen years, he's believed the woman he loved with every ounce of his soul left him without so much as a backwards glance. When Lea unexpectedly returns to their hometown, all the years of heartache inside Austin bubbles to the surface and presents itself as blinding rage. Faced with the truth about the past, a newly discovered secret, these former lovers will learn that if they want to have any chance at the future they’d given up on all those years ago, they will have to rescue one another from drowning in pain so debilitating it will leave them both fighting to breathe.   I was one of the lucky ...

"Behind Your Back" by Chelsea M. Cameron

Image
I was provided an ARC copy of this book   Blurb: "To get to him, I need to use her. I’ll play her like a violin and have her falling in love with me before she even knows what’s happening. It will be easy. I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again. She’s just a girl. A tool to get what I want. When I’m done with her I won’t think twice about walking away. At least, that was what I thought. Until I met her." I was super excited for this book to come out. Romance and suspense, all right up my alley. Plus, I've read some of Chelsea's books and loved them (My Favorite Mistake is still one of my fav books ever). So needless to say I NEEDED to read this book. However, I have to say that the book didn't live up to my expectations. It was a good book, but it was just that. Good. I had a hard time getting into the story overall and connecting to the characters. I still didn't completely at the end of the book, so that was one of the...
