Vincent Brothers & Vincent Boys Reviews...


Get seduced by a sizzling account of attraction and betrayal in this previously self-published phenomenon.

There was something wicked about Beau that drew me to him. What was wrong with me? Why did I want to sin so badly?

Ashton is getting tired of being good, of impressing her parents and playing ideal girlfriend to Sawyer Vincent. Sawyer is perfect, a regular Prince Charming, but when he leaves town for the summer, it's his cousin Beau who catches Ashton's eye. Beau is the sexiest guy she's ever seen, and even though he's dangerous, Ashton is drawn to him.

Beau loves his cousin like a brother, so the last thing he wants to do is make a move on Sawyer's girl. Ashton is off-limits, absolutely. That's why he does his best to keep his distance, even though he's been in love with her forever. When Ashton wants to rekindle their childhood friendship in Sawyer's absence, Beau knows he should say no.

Ashton and Beau don't want to hurt Sawyer. But the more they try to stay away from each other, the more intense their urges become. It's getting way too hard to resist...


 Hot romance is the cure for heartbreak in this sequel to The Vincent Boys.

Getting a boy to fall head-over-heels in love with you isn't easy. Especially when he's been in love with your cousin for as long as you can remember.

Lana has lived her life in her cousins shadow. Ashton always made perfect grades, had tons of friends, and looks model-perfect. And she's always had Sawyer Vincent the only boy Lana's ever wanted wrapped around her finger. But now things are different. Lana has a chance to make Sawyer see her, and she's taking it. If only he'd get over Ashton because Lana is sick of second-best.

Sawyer's heart is broken. He's lost his best girl to his best friend. And then Lana comes to town. Ashton's cousin has always been sweet and soft-spoken, but now she's drop-dead gorgeous as well. Sawyer doesn't know if Lana can heal his broken heart, but spending time with her might at least make Ashton jealous.

What starts as a carefree fling becomes a lusty game of seduction. Sawyer and Lana may have different motives, but their scintillating hookups are the same kind of steamy. . . .

REVIEWS:


Abbi Glines writes AMAZING books but I knew that going into these two books.  I have had these books sitting on my shelf for almost two years now so I put them on my summer reading list for this year.  They were both read in a single day while I didn't have internet access they were that good.  Now bare with me because I have finished around 8 books that I am just now writing reviews for and am struggling to keep all the names correct.

In the Vincent Boys (Book 1) Sawyer and Ashton are together at the start of this book.  However, Sawyer is out of town for the summer with his family and Ashton is stuck in town with the other Vincent Boy, Beau.  Beau and Ashton start hanging out like they used to and Ashton realizes that she hasn't been herself for a long time.  She has been suppressing the part of her youth that she truly misses and after spending time with Beau she starts to become herself again.  In the end of the book Sawyer and Beau get some news that blows their lives apart.

I love the message this book sends to young readers.  It is a book about being yourself.  You have to be true to who you are or you will never be happy.  Ashton hadn't been happy for a long time but in one summer that all changes and things look up for her.  But it is also about family and knowing the truth.  It is about being happy and making the correct choices in life.  This book was all about the lessons we all have to learn in life as a young person.

In the Vincent Brothers (Book 2) follows Lana, Ashton's cousin, who comes to stay so she can win the love of Sawyer.  Sawyer however, is still fighting how he feels for Ashton and uses Lana to try and get Ashton back.  In the end Sawyer falls for Lana hard and everybody is happy.

This book is also a book with a message that you should follow your own heart.  You have to figure out what you want in life and don't let anything stand in your way as you fight to get it!

I love Abbi Glines and these two books made me fall even harder.  I can't wait to get into the Sea Breeze series and finish the Rosemary Beach series as well.  I highly recommend these books to young adults and adults.

Both books get an amazing 5 star review from me!

Unsettled Review...

Unsettled Blog Tour

Synopsis 

 **Debut new adult author S.C. Ellington knocks it out of the park with this steamy contemporary romance!
After a horrific breakup with her longtime boyfriend, Brooklyn Caldwell is completely disenchanted with the notion of mingling with the opposite sex. Damon Williams had been everything she thought she wanted…until he wasn’t.
In an attempt to escape her heartbreaking past, Brooklyn seeks refuge in bustling Washington, D.C. where she folds into the fast-paced society unnoticed…until she meets a young entrepreneur, Logan Colton.
Brooklyn is surprised to find that while she has been successful in keeping the opposite sex at bay, somehow she is defenseless against Logan’s confidence and charm—and it doesn’t hurt that he is absurdly beautiful.
As much as Logan didn’t plan on pursuing her, he is drawn to Brooklyn’s muted beauty and her witty persona. For all his success, Logan is ensnared in the coveted world of unequivocal wealth and power, but behind closed doors is taunted by his own demons and an undeniable need to atone for a monumental mistake.
As the two embark on a tumultuous obstacle course saturated with unknown twists and turns, Brooklyn is left to question whether she can endure the journey ahead.



Logan Colton seems like one of the hottest book boyfriends I have read in a while.  His name sounds a bit cheesy to me but I swooned each time he came into the book.  Anyways, I didn't get to finish this book as but I can't wait too.  I want to find out what happens to these characters.  I felt like I was in the book because the author did such a great job of plotting and writing that everything seemed real.  I really hated having to stop reading in order to write this review.

From what I have read I would totally recommend this book to everybody.  I plan to finish this book as soon as possible (tomorrow).  I can't wait to read more books by Mrs. Ellington because if this book is any indication I have found another new favorite author!  Congratulations on a great book!

RATING:

4.5 out of 5 stars (from the 1/2 way point)

Relativity Birthday Bash...


Relativity
Proximity Series Book #2
By M.A. George
Publication Date: January 9, 2013

No matter the planet, Palta Capal is an alien. 

She’s lived a lifetime where she never belonged…but relocating to the “home world” she’s never seen has her feeling more like an outsider than ever. 

Teetering between the thrill of newfound love and the despair of family loss—not to mention the looming threat of global war—Palta doesn’t need any more excitement in her life. 

But what she needs and what she gets are two entirely different things.

REVIEW:

Reviewed by Glendalys:

I give this book 5 stars.

Tijan does it again.  The book was amazing.  I personally love this series and was waiting forever for this book to come out.  I got the ARC late at night and didn't sleep because it was so good I couldn't put it down.  I love Sam, Mason and Logan.  They are great characters.  Tijan tells their story beautifully.  Its a story with lots and twists and turns, you never know what is gonna happen next.  And just when you think you have the book figured out, something else happens.  I liked that we learned more about Sam in this story and he struggles to become a better person despite everything that has happened to her.  I loved the way Mason loved and protected her. I loved that in the book you can read from both their perspectives to know what's going through their minds.  And of course at the end like with most of Tijan's book your left in the air.  What just happened?  What is gonna happen next?  Guess we have will wait till the next book comes out.  I would highly recommend this book to friends.

FALLEN CREST SERIES BOOK TRAILER




EXCERPT


Kate’s sneer turned into a snarl. “You think you’re funny?”
One of the three added, “Maybe she’s taking lessons from Logan?”
Another snorted. “Probably. She needs all the lessons she can get.”
My smile had stretched from ear to ear now. It was genuine, too. “Is this another warning from you? I thought you moved past the cliché insults and name calling. Oh wait. You said lessons. Yes, that’s referencing that I’m dumb. That’s another cliché insult.” With my hand in the air, I lifted a finger with each point. “I’m ugly. I’m dumb. I have too much sex. Those are the three main ones most simpletons use to insult others. The clothes and the mannequin gave me hope. I thought you were starting to progress, but then I heard that you’ve already done that before. It’s recycled material. You guys need to find new stuff. You know what they say about comedians?” At their blank faces, I nodded. “What I expected. If they use old material, the act is boring. People move on. If you’re going to keep drawing fresh fear from everyone, you need new stuff.” I stood and patted Kate’s head. “You can do it. I believe in you.”
Logan stood by the door and held it open. Mason came in behind him. Both found me immediately. I wondered who had notified them, but then Kate grabbed my arm. She twisted it and got into my face. Her hand tightened on my arm and she lowered her voice, “You have until the end of the day to drop out of school. This is the last warning.”
A taunt rose to my tongue, but I swallowed it. The jokes were gone.
Three thoughts happened at the same time. David’s image flashed again. “Fuck it,” came next. Third, when I knew what I was going to do, I thought, “Let’s see how this goes.”
Kate’s eyes widened as she watched the myriad of expressions before she saw my intent. Her hand let me go, and she started to back away, but it was too late. My hand latched onto hers instead, and I took one second to comment, “Bet you weren’t expecting this,” I said before my other hand grabbed the back of her head and used all my body weight to slam her head into the table.
