You Were Mine - Abbi Glines

            Hi there! I’m seeing a lot of negativity about this book and it has me confused. I’d like to start this review with: if you like Bethy and you like Tripp as characters, then you’ll enjoy this book. Honestly! The way Abbi Glines creates passion and realness in her stories in impeccable and for a little over 200 pages I was completely involved. If anything, I didn’t like Bethy in the beginning of the series when she was acting slutty! With that being said, I’d like to share my opinions on You Were Mine by Abbi Glines…

In the eyes of the wealthy playboys who frequent Kerrington Country Club in Rosemary Beach, Tripp Newark is a hero. Under pressure from his parents to become a lawyer and lead a conservative, upper-class life, Tripp disappeared from town five years ago to travel the world, forfeiting the opportunity to inherit millions. Yet few know what he was really running from...

Bethy Lowry was unraveling long before her boyfriend drowned in a riptide trying to save her after she'd had one too many drinks--again. A trailer park kid working as a cart girl among the wealthy patrons of Kerrington Country Club, Bethy has always been impressionable. But five years ago, before she earned her reputation as a hard-drinking, easy girl, she had spent a single summer with Tripp Newark that changed her life forever...

Through to You - Lauren Barnholdt

            The story of Penn and Harper is one that can and will easily stick with me. Through to You by Lauren Barnholdt is short, sweet and simply delightful.

            It starts with a scribbled note in class: I like your sparkle. Harper had casually threaded a piece of blue and silver tinsel through her ponytail in honor of school spirit day. And that carefree, corny gesture is what grabs Penn Mattingly’s eye. Penn—resident heartbreaker of the senior class. Reliably unreliable. Trouble with a capital “T.” And okay, smolderingly sexy.

Harper’s surprised by Penn’s attention—and so is Penn. The last thing he needs is a girlfriend. Or even a friend-with-benefits. The note is not supposed to lead to anything.

Oh, but it does. They hang out. They have fun. They talk. They make out. And after a while, it seems like they just click. But Penn and Harper have very different ideas about what relationships look like, in no small part because of their very different family backgrounds. Of course they could talk about these differences—if Penn knew how to talk about feelings.

Harper and Penn understand their attraction is illogical, yet something keeps pulling them together. It’s like a crazy roller coaster—exhilarating, terrifying, and amazing all at once. And neither knows how to stop the ride…

I'm So Sorry!

Hi there! I can't believe how long it's been. I am so sorry.
I started at a new school recently and its a much tougher and rigorous course load than my last college. I absolutely love it however and I' having a load of fun. That being said though, I've been busy. I haven't and time to post any reviews. I will, however start back up but maybe they'll be biweekly. I'm also going off my reading list a bit, some books come out or catch my eye that I must read immediately.
Love you all and hope you enjoy the reviews i have thus far.
Thanks and SORRY!

McFly - Unsaid Things: Our Story...

Hi there! I wasn’t expecting what I read, but super happy McFly was so honest and real. Heres the summary for McFly - Unsaid Things: Our Story…

Prepare to meet the real McFly …

In 2003, Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Harry Judd and Dougie Poynter came together and formed what would become one of the most popular and successful bands in the UK. Just teenagers at the time, they were catapulted into the limelight and had to adapt quickly to their new-found fame – and everything that came with it. Now, at last, they have decided to tell their story, in full and revealing detail.

Speaking with candour and their trademark humour, Tom, Danny, Harry and Dougie share both the stories of their own lives and that of McFly. They give their personal insights into their contrasting childhoods, the individual paths that led them to the band, the struggles they have each overcome, their love lives and, of course, their music.

Packed with previously untold stories, a lot of laughter and the occasional tear, Unsaid Things offers a privileged look into the lives of four guys who started out as bandmates and became best friends. Their unique camaraderie radiates from every page and by the end of the book, you’ll know them almost as well as they know each other…

Take a Chance - Abbi Glines

I think I’m in love with Grant Carter from Take A Chance! Here’s the summary…

When Harlow Manning's rocker father goes on tour, he sends her to Rosemary Beach, Florida, to live with her half-sister, Nan. The problem: Nan despises her. Harlow has to keep her head down if she wants to get through the next nine months, which seems easy enough. Until gorgeous Grant Carter walks out of Nan's room in nothing but his boxer briefs.
Grant made a huge mistake getting involved with a girl with venom in her veins. He'd known about Nan's reputation, but still he couldn't resist her. Nothing makes him regret the fling more than meeting Harlow, who sends his pulse racing. Yet Harlow wants nothing to do with a guy who could fall for her wicked half-sister even if there are no strings between Grant and Nan. Grant is desperate to redeem himself in Harlow's eyes, but did he ruin his chances before he even met her?
