Review: The Hook Up

The Hook Up The Hook Up by Kristen Callihan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Aw, how great was this book? It was absolutely fantastic. Never a dull moment with this one. Ahh, Drew, swoon. He was so hot. He reminded me of Drew from Monica Murphy's Drew and Fable series. I think that's why I fell in love with this story. It had so much heart and the right amount of angst to make you want to burn your kindle, then she does a 360 and makes you want to cry and hug everyone in this book. Drew is such a beautiful man. He was so sweet and loving to Anna, even when he had his accident and weird freak out. Anna, well , I hated her from the beginning because of what she did to baby Drew, but coming towards the middle she ended up being my favorite girl. There is a scene in maybe the last chapter where she was the definition of a ride or die chick, and I instantly wanted to pat her on the back for what she did. I mean others would have left his ass. This story showed us the ups and downs of too young relationship with it being borderline sweet and cuddly feeling. They both complimented each other. This story was also very funny. I love the back and forth between these two characters. And holy crap the love scenes were so hot. Even hotter for a NA genre. I also loved the secondary characters. Looking at you George and Gray. Not a fan of sports books, but this one didn't dwell too much on the concept of sports to make it too boring.

Review: Billionaire Unbound ~ Chloe

Billionaire Unbound ~ Chloe by J.S. Scott My rating: 3 of 5 stars I liked this story. Glad Chloe overcame the abuse and found Gabe and I'm glad he didn't give up on her. What pissed me off is, I know it's not always easy to tell an abuse victim to just leave but still, Chloe has brothers who are special ops, senator, a mad scientist and a damn special agent, she's a billionaire. Do you mean to tell me she couldn't use ANY of those means to get rid of or away from James? The man had NO power over her, she was letting him have the upper hand. Also they video, if the woman had just told her brothers what was going on but don't show them the video like what Gabe did, all of this could have been avoided. I mean, look how easy they got rid of the video and handled him. Pls Lara (Tate's wife) was ex FBI, she could have also find means to get information on where Ellie is out of James before he killed himself too. If this was a po...

Review: The Resolution of Callie & Kayden

The Resolution of Callie & Kayden by Jessica Sorensen My rating: 3 of 5 stars Well they finally got their happy ending. These two went through so much shit before they got to this point. Some points I wasn't happy with: Callie ran into Caleb at the store and then he was arrested. I fell like not much justice was given there. I wanted Caleb to explain why he did all that crap. I wanted a better confrontation where Caleb would feel ashamed or at least more emotions, but it was handled too quickly and wishy washy. Another one was the death of Kayden's father. We as the reader didn't get much closure from that. He just immediately died, there wasn't much explanation as to how he ended up like that, no explanation from the father as to why he was the way he is, no sorry's, the mother was still a complete bitch and was with the father until the end. His death was such a cowards way out. I expected him to get haul off to jail. This b...

Review: Love, Chocolate, and Beer

Love, Chocolate, and Beer by Violet Duke My rating: 4 of 5 stars So, this book came up in my Amazon recommendations and saw it had a bunch of good ratings and decided to check it out. Violet Duke has found a new fan in me. I really enjoyed this book. This is what true love is all about. I connected with Luke and Dani from the prequel and just fell in love with them. Their bickering and interplay were so funny. The sexual tension was so strong with these two. Even I was feeling what Luke was feeling on those five pre-dates. The 17 Valentines Day gifts Luke did for Dani was so damn romantic, I was "awwing" through the whole thing. The things Luke did for Dani....ack. I love him so much. Anyways let's get to the nitty gritty. So Dani did something really stupid in the prequel that followed her throughout this story. It pissed me off because if these two would have just communicated with each other, so much of this could have been avoided. ...
