Review: Stealing Harper - Molly McAdams

Review : Stealing Harper - Book #1.5 Taking Chances Series - Molly McAdams - May 2013 I was in the mood for a bit of angst, and I had been lately in a book funk, so I figured why not read Molly McAdams -Stealing Harper as I knew I would enjoy it and want to continue reading it. So I started at. First, I was trying to remember what happened in Taking Chances as of course it's been years since I had read that book. In fact, it was my second book I had read from Molly McAdams and seems like light years ago now. Of course, as I was reading Stealing Harper it all came rushing back, and then I hit the point on whether I should continue with this book as of course seeing as it was from Chase's POV - the story only had one way to end, and it was not an HEA ending for all those who remember what happened in Taking Chances.   Stealing Harper is Chase's POV and we see his story from the first meeting of Harper - the girl with the gray eyes and how she con...

Review: The Impact of You - Kendall Ryan - June 2013 Have you ever picked up a book and had major deja vu moments and you can swear that you have read this book before? For me, as I write reviews on the books I have read, and I have a perfect memory for the books I have read ever since I was younger. I knew I hadn't read this particular book, but as I was going through the novel, I couldn't shake off the feeling that this book was so damn familiar to me.  In The Impact of You by Kendall Ryan, we meet Avery who is trying to escape her past and picked a college away from everyone from her old life. She wants to start fresh and becomes the opposite person that she had been in high school.  Jase is back at school after taking off sometime when his mother became ill. He is intrigued by Avery and wants to get to know her more, Avery though knows the type that Jase in and doesn't want anything to do with him. However, Jase is the persistent ty...

SALE BLITZ - Random Acts of Trust by Julia Kent

Title: Random Acts of Trust Series: Random #2 Author: Julia Kent Genre: Romantic Comedy Release Date: December 25, 2013 Blurb Giving up is hard...but giving in is even harder.   When did my life become a demented episode from The Mindy Project? Moving to Boston to begin grad school meant I was supposed to start a new life -- not dig through a past I thought I'd left behind four years ago. But when I saw the poster for Random Acts of Crazy, all I could think about was the drummer, Sam Hinton, the boy I'd loved in high school and who disappeared with my heart. Who knew I'd become the living version of Magic Mike? Seeing Amy Smithson at my gig and watching her win a kiss from my bandmate, Liam, was a gut punch. Four years ago we squared off in a high school debate that had higher stakes than we ever imagined, and here I was...wanting what I'd walked away from. Are there too many secrets between us to allow her to trust me again? An...

  Review: Baggage Check - Book #3 The Marriage Pact - MJ Pullen - November 2013 To be completely honest, I opened this book with the hopes that it was set at the airport and I thought it would be about mistaken luggage or mixed up bags. Turns out though that Baggage Check is about middle aged Rebecca who is now thirty-five and one of her friends Suzanne. Rebecca hasn't been home for years, not since the guy she loved and has loved all her life ended up marrying one of her friends Marci. Ever since college, Rebecca has loved Jake, and of course, he is happily married to Marci who is now a famous parenting and lifestyle blogger.  Rebecca lives her life in the air as an airline flight attendant and therefore doesn't have time to date or put roots down, this is her way to forget about her past. What happens though when the wedding starts to resurface old feelings ? Especially when she receives a phone call from her mother and has to detour to her small...
