Until KellyUntil Kelly by Vera Quinn
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Kelly’s life has been a path of mistakes from every turn. After her latest run in with a bad situation she ends up starting over in Comfort, Texas. She keeps to herself and is determined to change her path forward, what she doesn’t plan on is Trask Stillman. Trask is definitely interested in Kelly and is determined to win her heart. The only problem is that Kelly has secrets and will Trask be able to accept all her mistake as well?

I wanted to like this one but when I realized it was Kelly’s story I struggled with her character as she did some major problems in a different book. Good story, was surprised by this one.

All Grown Up (Eden High)All Grown Up by Jordan Silver
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Alex has been waiting for the day that Cassie comes of age. He knows she is it for him, but he wanted her to finish school before sweeping her out of her home and into his life permanently. The only problem is that someone is threatening Cassie and with Mandy behind bars, Alex needs the team to help him out.

I need to go back and finish off the Eden High series because I felt I missed the whole Cassie Alex introduction and how they meet. A lot of the stories intersect with different characters and plot lines. I am looking forward to see where Lyons daughter story goes, she is one of my favorites. I liked and probably will reread after I go back and finish Eden High.

Review: Rising From The Ashes by Jessica Prince

Rising from the Ashes (Picking up the Pieces, #2)Rising from the Ashes by Jessica Prince
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Savannah Morgan knew early on that Jeremy Matthews was the love of her life, but life happened and Savannah made a decision that changed everything. Instead of telling Jeremy, she broke up with him. Years later Jeremy still doesn’t understand what went wrong with Savannah and has a new girlfriend who despises Savannah. After everything is revealed, Savannah decides it is time to move on, even though it means leaving her best friends and of course Jeremy. Jeremy doesn’t know if he can give Savannah a second chance but if he doesn’t he knows it will be the biggest regret of his life.

There is a lot to this story not just the Savanah secret dynamic, but her family, her friends and how they react. I wanted to like this one but it was just different then the other books by this author. More angsty.

Give InGive In by Layla Frost
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Eden Wilder has a crush on her Professor, but he can’t seem to stand her. Doing her best to put herself through school, Eden made a decision to strip as it was the easiest way to make the most money quickly. She is not ashamed of her decision but she certainly doesn’t want to let her fellow students know as it would give her attention she doesn’t need while focusing on school. When her Professor walks in though and sees her things begin to change.

Damian has noticed Eden from the first day she attended his class, his desire for her has been building since then but seeing her stripping has Damian wanting to act on it. However he can’t really act on it or can he?

I found this one to be odd for me. I didn’t understand the whole wanting Eden but then acting like he couldn’t stand her and purposely ignoring her during certain situations. He is much older then Eden and yet he came off as the more immature at times. Interesting but just was not feeling it.

Review: Hiding From The Sheriff by Palmer Jones

Hiding from the Sheriff (A Southern Kind of Love, #1)Hiding from the Sheriff by Palmer Jones
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Chief Deputy Cameron Dempsey is doing a favor for his friend, picking up Addison “Addie” Johnson from prison and keeping her close by until the mess she has found herself with is fixed. What Cameron expect is the girl he knew is now a siren. Cameron thinks Addie is superficial but the more he gets to know her the more he realizes she is not what he initially thought.

This was fun, had a few funny moments but Addie’s story is a bit convoluted in the beginning. I thought the chemistry was there and had some really great moment. Would check out the next book.

Review: Treacherous by Chloe Walsh

Treacherous (Carter Kids #1)Treacherous by Chloe Walsh
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Teagan Connoly agreed to one year in America until she can be off on her own. She doesn’t expect to have an enemy next door. Noah Messina is bad news and his step sister is even worse. Teagan knows she should stay away and even when things get incredibly ugly she finds herself drawn to him. Noah has done his best to keep Teagan at a distance but danger is his life, can he keep Teagan safe?

So has a bit of a cliffhanger ending which I had not expected. I liked aspects of this but the nastiness from the get go seemed a bit too much at times. Was not quite what I expected, I probably would check out more in this series but need to set time aside to read from book one to two right away.

MuseMuse by Jenna Rose
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Shane is a highly sought after fashion photographer who has learned to keep his business purely professional. He doesn’t sleep with the models, nor does he have any interest in doing so as they are mostly either looking for a foot in the door to raise their status or vapid. When he sees Jane tagging along with her friend, he knows he wants to not only have her in his bed but see him through his camera lens.

Jane is used to following in her best friends footsteps and she is fine with being the shadow. However when Shane sees her and reaches out, she is stunned and happy. Shane wants to keep what is happening between them quiet for the time being but can she trust that he really wants a future with her?

This started off good but was so rushed and I did not understand the keeping it a secret. There were a few details I would have liked to had cleared up but overall a fun quickie.

Review: Reaper by K.L. Savage

Reaper (Ruthless Kings MC #1)Reaper by K.L. Savage
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Even though Reaper can’t deny his attraction to Sarah, he can’t go there. Sarah is the sister to Boomer and her father was Reaper’s best friend. If there is anyone that is off limits it is Sarah, not to mention she is only 17. Sarah though knows Reaper is the man for her and never questions he wants her until the day he makes it clear. Problem is it becomes more complicated when he acts on his attraction to her, can they find their own happily ever after or are they doomed to fail?

I wanted to like this but did not care for Sarah. With her only 17 she is throwing herself at Reaper and it was too much. It got better as the story went but just didn’t care much for the heroine.

Safe (Conquering, #1)Safe by Ryan Michele
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Sadie had been abused for years by her ex and finally shook him loose, at least it was what she thought but it as a false sense of freedom until he struck again. Sadie had been making excuses and hiding what happened from her family but her Mother recognizes the signs and wants Sadie protected.

Sadie ends up moving to Williamsfield, Georgia to star anew. With a few rules in place to keep her location hidden. Sadie struggles to find some normalcy in the small town where everyone knows about you and wants answers to what brought her to their town. She meets Landon who is friends with her cousin. There is an instant connection but Sadie doesn’t want to be involved with man again.

Landon has his own reasons for not getting involved with another woman again. He doesn’t mind one and done tumbles, but commitment he vowed never to happen again. When he meets Sadie though he wants to get to know her, spend time with her get close to her. Landon decides he wants Sadie but he realizes he has to earn her trust first, but will the reason she left come back to haunt her?

I liked this story but the book has a few things that don’t make sense or get wrapped up in the story. I thought the chemistry was terrific between Landon and Sadie, liked how there story unfolded. Will check out more in this series as I am curious about some of the other characters introduced in the book.

Review: No Place to Hide by Opa Hysea Wise

No Place to HideNo Place to Hide by Opa Hysea Wise
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.5 Stars
Smythe Windwalker Daniels witnesses a crime and finds herself in the FBI Witness Protection program. During that time Smythe reflects on her past. Smythe’s journey in life is complicated and while remembering the way she has been treated as well as the way she handled some of the situations makes her pause about her current situation in life.

This was very different, the book takes a lot of different times in Smythe’s life and has a bunch of self respective in depth awareness. I thought the story hopped a bit in what it was trying to achieve. The storyline itself was intriguing but found it hard to connect with the characters.

I recieved a free copy of this book for an honest review.
