There was a time there where I thought I was going to stop blogging and even delete my blog but I felt that when I lost people in my life writing this blog really helped so I just couldn't do that. I'm now hoping that in 2018 I will start reading again as it's only been this week when I've actually missed reading. I still might not be around every week with new reviews but hopefully I'll get in at least a couple of reviews in a month.<br />

Though Georgie would never admit it, the highlights of her week are the mornings when she comes home at the same time as her uptight, workaholic neighbor is leaving to hit the gym and put in a long day at the office. Teasing him is the most fun Georgie’s had in years—and the fuel for all her naughtiest daydreams.<br />Celebrity divorce attorney Andrew Mulroney doesn’t have much time for women, especially spoiled tabloid princesses who spend more time on Page Six than at an actual job. Although Georgie’s drop-dead gorgeous, she’s also everything Andrew resents: the type of girl who inherited her penthouse instead of earning it. But after Andrew caps one of their predawn sparring sessions with a surprise kiss—a kiss that’s caught on camera—all of Manhattan is gossiping about whether they’re a real couple. And nobody’s more surprised than Andrew to find that the answer just might be yes.</span></b></span></div>

I'm not too sure about this particular cover as it seems a bit fake especially the female side of the book. I do like the side of the man as it seems more relaxed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: georgia, utopia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6000003814697px; text-align: center;">

When I first started this book I wasn't too sure I was going to like it as like the cover the main female protagonist seemed so fake and annoying but thankfully for this book there was more to her than she lets on to everyone. I loved that this book was full of humour as I was laughing throughout which is always good when a book can make me laugh as this one did. I loved the relationship between the two main characters throughout this book as it wasn't an instant love they actually seemed to dislike one another in the beginning but the more they saw one another the more the chemistry started to spark. They had a great banter between them as they were able to bounce of one another. In the end I loved this book so much I know that it's one of those books that I will read again and again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: georgia, utopia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6000003814697px; text-align: center;">

Great characters but the took a few chapters to warm up to. Like I said earlier Georgie did come across fake and very shallow but once we got to know her better the more she seemed like such a sweetheart. Andrew was a good character but there was moments when he said things to Georgie that just wasn't nice but in the end I was able to forgive him this as he didn't mean it the way in which it comes across. There was some other great characters intertwined in the story that added more to the story.</div>

Overall, I really enjoyed this book I just wish there was more as I just didn't want it to end.</div>

<span id="freeText10542860466781331281"><b><span style="color: magenta;"><i>What happens when a margrave realizes he’s fallen in love with a servant?</i>The Margrave of Thornbeck has to find a bride, fast. He invites ten noble-born ladies from around the country to be his guests at Thornbeck Castle for two weeks, a time to test these ladies and reveal their true character.<br />Avelina is only responsible for two things: making sure her deception goes undetected and avoiding being selected as the margrave’s bride. Since the latter seems unlikely, she concentrates on not getting caught. No one must know she is merely a maidservant, sent by the Earl of Plimmwald to stand in for his daughter, Dorothea.<br />Despite Avelina’s best attempts at diverting attention from herself, the margrave has taken notice. And try as she might, she can’t deny her own growing feelings. But something else is afoot in the castle. Something sinister that could have far worse—far deadlier—consequences. Will Avelina be able to stop the evil plot? And at what cost?</span></b></span></div>

I did find it rather predictable as I just knew where it was going to go so I would've liked it a bit more if something happened that I wasn't expecting. The relationship between the two main characters I liked in some parts as there was times when they where great together and brought out the best in each other but then on the other hand they also bought out the worse in each other. I did love the ending it was really sweet and had a little humour interweaved in there as well which I think was missing from most of the book.</span></span></div>

I feel Avelina was the better character out of the two main characters as she was more likable from the beginning, she did lie a lot but I guess in the end I understood why she did that. Lord Thornbeck was hard to like in the beginning but once we got to see his softer side I found myself liking him. Magdalen was a really sweet character but I felt as though she was too good to be true no one can be that nice. </span></span></div>

In the desert outside Yuan, Gem, a mutant beast, fights to save his people, the Monstrous, from starvation. Neither dreams that together, they could return balance to both their worlds.<br />Isra wants to help the city’s Banished people, second-class citizens despised for possessing Monstrous traits.

<span style="color: black;">I have joined a challenge on Goodreads called Book Jar where I put in titles in a jar and read whichever book I pull out. When I pulled out this book I was pleased as I've had this sitting on my shelf for a while now, however I was a little disappointed when reading it as it wasn't as good as what I thought I would've.</span></div>

I love this cover it's stunning and I especially love the colours that have been used although I feel like this particular cover wasn't in keeping with the story as it seems like a sci-fi novel but for me the book didn't feel that much of a sci-fi book.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

This was a hard book to review as it was as if it was a tale of two halves as I couldn't get into pretty much most of the book but the last quarter of the book was gripping and I really enjoyed it. I think the reason why I couldn't get into most of this book was because it was so slow with hardly any action, I was pretty much bored throughout. With this being a Beauty and the Beast retelling I was expecting to fall in love with the characters and their romance, however I just couldn't warm to them or their romance until the very end. I really thought there would be more focus on the romance side of the story but it just seemed glossed over and then rushed once it got going. Towards the end when it really started to pick up was when there was more action going on with me on the edge of my seat. The ending was really sweet and in the end I found I was glad were things left off.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
As I said above I wasn't overly keen on any of the characters but most of them had their moments when I liked them I just never had that 'I love these characters' moment. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
Overall, I was expecting a lot more from this book than what I got but the end part of the story did improve things quite a bit but I just wish it was all as good as the ending.</div>

I was given the opportunity to read and review this book from the author.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I love the cover and I especially love the way in which it ties in with the Hurricane series. I can really see this model as Kieran which is great as it gives me an idea of the look of him without even reading the book. Love the colours as it makes this particular cover/series stand out.<br />
<br />
I was very nervous about reading this book as I was scared that I wouldn't love it as much as the others I mean how can you improve on perfection but that's what Prescott did. I don't know why I had to go and spoil myself by reading this book as the last time I read something by R.J. Prescott it was ages before I was able to get into anything else as it was just too good and I have a feeling that I won't be able to get into anything after this one. As soon as I started this book I knew I was onto a winner as I was consumed by it from the very beginning to the very end. In the first chapter I had already laughed out loud and nearly broke down but then towards the end I was in pieces, I haven't cried like that from a book in a long while. Whilst reading this book I felt like I was at home as the relationship between every character and not just the two main characters was beautiful to see I could feel through the pages the love for one another. The chemistry between Marie and Kieran was off the charts they where so good together and seemed to bring the best out in each other. What's great about this book is that it doesn't repeat the same outline as other contemporary romance novels which I think is rather refreshing as I never saw anything coming. I loved the end as everything felt wrapped up neatly as well as left it open for Tommy's book which I'm very excited about.<br />
<br />
What I think this book does over any other book that I've read is that Prescott has been able to make the characters come alive and it felt like I could see them all right in front of me. I pretty much loved every character apart from one and even that person had me feeling sorry for him when we find out a bit more with his background. Marie was a great character as she was such a strong person especially going through what she did throughout her whole life. As for Kieran I had loved him from the previous books and I don't know how it happened but I loved him all the more as not only was he a fierce guy but he was also very funny and he showed a softer and vulnerable side to him. I loved getting to see how Con and Em where doing and then there was Tommy he was hilarious and I am so excited to read his next book especially after what had happened to him towards the end of this book. There was some great new additions to the story including Marie's family.<br />
<br />
Overall, I could go on and on about how much I love this book. There was not one part of this book that I was engrossed in, it was just amazing and I know that R.J. Prescott is one of my all time favourite authors as she is always able to knock it out of the park and I for one can't wait to read more from her and not just from this series but anything that she creates I just know I will love it.</div>

<strong>EXCERPT:</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When I finally plucked up a bit of courage, I peeped out of the curtains to see Kieran throwing stones at the window.</div>
“Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair,” he mock shouted, when he caught my eye. I opened the window to whisper loudly back at him.<br />
“Are you high?” I asked. “Why didn’t you just ring the doorbell or call me?”<br />
“I thought this would be more romantic,” he said.<br />
“If I ignore the fact that my nipples probably have frostbite, I am feeling romanced,” I replied. He looked pained. “What’s wrong?” I asked.<br />
“You said ‘nipples’ and now I can’t think of anything else,” he replied, making me smile.<br />
“Now I’m down here, what’s the chances of seeing an accidental nip slip?” he asked.<br />
“Depends,” I replied.<br />
“On what?” he asked.<br />
“What’s in the bag?” I said.<br />
“Hot chocolate and warm doughnuts,” he said, holding up the bag as if to barter.<br />
“Well, I would have said slim to none, but fresh doughnuts might have just tipped the odds in your favour,” I replied.<br />
“Yesss!” he said, fist bumping the air in victory.<br />
I closed the window and ran to buzz him in. He bounded up the stairwell, his heavy footsteps echoing loudly in the hallway. When he got to my door, he looked me up and down, taking in my short royal blue, silk pyjamas. Dropping the sack, he speared his hands into my hair and pulled me into a kiss that had me melting. Kier didn’t kiss with just his lips; he did it with his whole body. Without shoes on, I was tiny in comparison, but inside of the cage of his huge arms, I felt protected and safe. Despite his size, his lips were so gentle. He didn’t treat me like I was fragile, but like I was precious, as though every touch was one that he was experiencing for the first time and memorizing for later.<br />
Feeling bold, I traced the seam of his mouth with my tongue, and when he parted his lips and touched his tongue against mine, I groaned. Every sensation was too much, and not enough. Breathless, he pulled away from me to nuzzle his face in the crook of my neck. I reached up and gently stroked the short hair at the back of his neck, making him sigh.<br />

Now that her business is thriving, it's time to turn towards her much neglected personal life, and Alexis approaches her relationships like she does everything else: with a plan. </b></span><i><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Not</b></span></i><span style="color: magenta;"><b> a part of that plan is Logan Harris, the silent partner in the Belles, and the one person who's been there for her since the very beginning. But Alexis needs someone fun, and Logan's all business, all the time-except when a late night at the office ends with an unexpected kiss that leaves the usually cool and together Alexis reeling.<br />Logan has lusted after Alexis since the day he walked into the tiny Harlem apartment that used to double as her office. But the ambitious wedding planner has always been untouchable...until now. Alexis has made it clear that she's on the dating market-and equally clear that he's not in the running. But when Alexis finds herself in need of a date for her sister's last minute wedding in Florida, Logan knows it's the perfect time to show Alexis that there's more to him than numbers and spreadsheets-and beneath the pinstripes and glasses lies a hot-blooded heartthrob. As Florida's sultry days turn into even hotter nights, Logan's out to convince Alexis that the fling of a lifetime could just maybe turn into forever...</b></span></span></div>

I love this cover and I think it has everything to do with the colours that have been used as it gives a seasonal feel about it and even though the season has nothing to do with the actual book I find myself not minding as for me it kind of sets the scene.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">I was looking forward to reading this book especially after loving both of the previous books and no Lauren Layne book for me has rated under 4 stars that is until I read this one. I was so disappointed with this book as I just couldn't get into it which even though I didn't have as much time to read it with it being the Christmas period but also I found myself not even wanting to pick it up. I didn't believe in the romance between the two main characters as it felt for the most part very much one sided and felt Logan was far too good for Alexis. I understand why Alexis was so stand offish to a point but I think she let it affect every aspect of her life and made her an unlikable person. What I loved about this book is that we got to catch up with the previous couples. The ending was sweet and more enjoyable than most of the book.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: georgia, utopia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6000003814697px; text-align: center;">

Alexis was such a selfish person that didn't treat Logan the way in which he deserved. There was moments when I thought she was nicer but it wasn't until closer to the end when I started to like her. It was Logan that really saved this book as he was such a great character and I loved everything about him.</span></span></div>

<span id="freeText10172187603110111052"><b><span style="color: magenta;"><i>Fairy tales do come true—and so do tabloid scandals! Bestselling author Marquita Valentine kicks off a juicy contemporary romance series with a novel about a prince whose best-laid plans go deliciously awry when he marries the maid next door.</i>Forced to flee to the United States with his siblings after their parents’ assassination, Crown Prince Colin Sinclair takes it upon himself to become the caretaker of his family while hiding out near Charlotte, North Carolina. But after a decade in hiding, the secret’s out and Parliament demands that Colin wed a princess of their choosing. Unwilling to play their game, Colin decides to marry an American instead, and he has the perfect candidate in mind.<br />As a home-service professional, Della Hughes doesn’t believe in storybook endings. But when her best friend and secret crush reveals that he’s a flesh-and-blood prince, she doesn’t know what to think. Still, she’ll do anything for Colin, including becoming his wife—in name only, of course. But when their plans to stay purely platonic go by the wayside, their fake honeymoon turns all too real. After a week of white-hot nights, Della can no longer deny her feelings—not with a happily ever after so tantalizingly close.</span></b></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">I received a review copy from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">I actually like this cover which I think has something to do with the way it looks different to other covers and it looks colourful which is what caught my eye. I'm not sure it's in keeping with the actual story but in this case I'm not sure that I mind.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">To be honest it's been awhile since I've read this and only now getting around to reviewing it, I seem to have forgotten what I liked and disliked about it and I only know what I rating I gave the book was because I always rate books straight away. I'm glad that I read the synopsis again (as I don't usually) as it did remind me about the book. Don't let me forgetting about the book put you off as with me giving the book 4/5 stars obviously meant I enjoyed at the time it's just that I've slept since reading the book and I can't remember everything I've read. I do remember that I enjoyed the concept of the story as I haven't read many royal based books so it did make a nice change. I have been reminded that it was a cute read but not as much scandal as what I would've liked.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Overall, I wish I could remember more about the book but what I can remember I actually liked.</span></div>

and stayed in Bristol. Ten years later she convinced her husband to move back to Cardiff, where they now live with their two sons. Juggling work, writing and family doesn't leave leave a lot of time, but curling up on the sofa with a cup of tea and a bar of chocolate for family movie night is definitely the best part of her week. Her debut book "The Hurricane" is a USA Today Bestselling duet novel concluded in "The Aftermath".<br />

<b><span style="color: magenta;">When small-town girl Heather Fowler finally gets promoted from assistant to </span></b><i><b><span style="color: magenta;">actual</span></b></i><b><span style="color: magenta;"> wedding planner, she's determined to make it as one of Manhattan's elite Wedding Belles. Unfortunately, her first client demands an opulent black-tie affair at the Plaza...in five months' time. Heather's days quickly become a flurry of cake tastings, dress-fittings, RSVP cards, and bridal tantrums. But what she's really losing sleep over is the live music blaring from her playboy neighbor's apartment all night.<br /><br />Five years ago, Josh Tanner was an up-and-comer on Wall Street, complete with the penthouse and the migraines. But a grim cancer diagnosis made him realize there is more to life than the corner office. If only he could convince his pretty, workaholic neighbor to let loose, too. As Heather lets down her guard, Josh is surprised when he starts falling for the sweet, vulnerable woman hiding beneath those power suits. Soon, it's Heather's turn to convince Josh to take the biggest risk of all: love.</span></b></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">I didn't think Lauren Layne could improve on the previous book but this one has definitely done it as it was more enjoyable even if it was ever so slightly. I think what made this book slightly better was the humour as this one seemed to be a lot more funnier than the previous book. There was never a dull moment in this book as not only was it funny it also had a very serious subject matter involved which I actually liked that it was tackled more light hearted. The chemistry between the two main characters was smoking hot and I loved their banter. I loved the ending of this book as I felt it ended perfectly for this book and now I'm very excited to start the last book.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">I loved every single character in this book with no one that I disliked. Heather was a great female character who held her own throughout. Josh has to be one of my favourite ever male characters as he was so funny and such a scene stealer. What worked even more with this book was the interaction between Heather and Josh as there was plenty of banter and on top of that they where there for one another which was nice to see.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">I received a review copy from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: georgia, utopia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6000003814697px; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">I'm not the biggest fan of the cover as I feel it might be a bit too cheesy and I don't feel as though it's in keeping with the novel as I didn't feel as though the book was all that romantic as the cover would suggest.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: georgia, utopia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6000003814697px; text-align: center;">

As soon as I started this book I knew I wasn't going to fall in love with this book and I wasn't wrong, yes there was some moments that I enjoyed but for the most I didn't enjoy it as much as what I thought I would. I didn't quite get the romance between the two main characters Ivy and Daniel as for the most part I didn't like the way he treated her or even those around him. It wasn't until the very end when I saw why she fell for him but for her to have already fallen for a guy like him baffles me. There was a little spark between the two throughout the book but I just didn't want them to be together. I didn't feel as though there was much of a story happening within this book, I just wanted something a little extra to capture my attention. I actually started to warm to this book by the end as I wanted to see what was going to happen next.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: georgia, utopia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6000003814697px; text-align: center;">

I wasn't much of a fan of the two main characters but I did like some of the secondary characters. With Ivy I felt as though she didn't have a backbone and annoyed me to no end and I would find myself rolling my eyes a lot of the time. Daniel has to be one of my least favourite male characters as he was annoying and so pig-headed he just had no redeeming qualities. Jack, the guy that Ivy was blackmailed to be 'engaged' with was the best character in this book and I actually wished he ended up with Ivy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: georgia, utopia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6000003814697px; text-align: center;">

Overall, I wish this was stronger as it had so much promise but in the end it just didn't do anything for me, but with the next book being about Jack I'm inclined to continue with this series and just hope it's 10 times better than this one.</div>

I like this cover but it wasn't what drew me to the book as I think it's a little bit too plain but it has everything you need to see in the book on the cover which is why I'm ok with the cover.</div>

I've read a few Lauren Layne books now and even though I have really enjoyed each and everyone of them I still hadn't read a 5/5 (in my opinion) until now. I wasn't sure I was going to like the whole wedding concept of the story as I've read recently an amazing weeding based book so I didn't think anything could get any better but this did and then some. I loved reading every minute of this book there was nothing that stopped me from falling deeper and deeper in love with it. It had everything I could want in a book as it had the romance and it had the humour which is a favourite in any contemporary romance book there was just something magical about this book. The romance between the two main characters sizzled straight off the pages they felt so right for one another. I wasn't sure I was going to like the whole wedding concept of the story as I've read recently an amazing weeding based book so I didn't think anything could get any better but this did and then some. The ending was so sweet and heart warming it's got me excited to read the rest of the series.</div>

I pretty much loved every character in this book. Brooke was a great female character as she didn't want the past to effect her present and even though it did at times, she was still trying and that's different to other female characters I've read about. I felt Brooke was a sweet character and only Seth was able to bring out her darker side which I actually liked as well. Seth I loved from the moment Lauren Layne introduced him even if he was a bit annoying at times I was still able to like him. There was some great secondary characters including Seth's sister and best friend. I also loved the other Belle's and I'm very much looking forward to their stories.</div>

Overall, I adored this book there was nothing that I didn't like about it.</div>

Another slow reading month but I did slightly better than last month. I've also been quite on my blog recently but I do hope that once Christmas and the New Year is over I will be able to put more time in reading as well as blogging.</div>

But a grim cancer diagnosis made him realize there is more to life than the corner office. If only he could convince his pretty, workaholic neighbor to let loose, too. As Heather lets down her guard, Josh is surprised when he starts falling for the sweet, vulnerable woman hiding beneath those power suits. Soon, it's Heather's turn to convince Josh to take the biggest risk of all: love</span></b></span></div>

<br />
I have pretty much loved this series so when I received a Amazon voucher for my birthday this book was the first one I brought.<br />
<br />
Out of all of the covers in this series so far this one is my favourite as it feels more real than the others as well as even though you can't see the guy's face in full I can still say he looks better than any of the other guys that where used and he actually reminds me of Sebastian as well.<br />
<br />
I think that if the characters where different I believe it could've been a brilliant book but that wasn't the case and because of that I wasn't able to enjoy this book like I have done with the previous books in this series. When reading most of the other books in this series I always hated to put it down but this time round I didn't want to pick it back up, I just didn't get lost in this book. I didn't believe in the 'romance' for most of this book although there was moments that where enjoyable. I don't think there was much to the actual story it just kind of repeated itself throughout. I liked the ending as I felt there was closure there I just would've preferred if it went into the future to see how they're getting on because her issues can't be changed overnight and only time will tell.<br />
<br />
Like I said it was the characters that brought this book down although not all were as bad as each other and for the most part it was mainly one character that that fell on. Shayne was the most annoying female character that I have ever read, in a way I could understand her in some ways with the Daddy issues but for her to say all ice hockey players are cheaters was quite annoying. Not only did she not want to get involved with a hockey player she also didn't want to be friends with anyone who is married/engaged to one which really wound me up. Sebastian was for the most part the best part of this book as he had humour and determination, although I didn't get why he grew to have feeling for someone who treated him the way Shayne did as he came across more shallow than anything else. It was nice to see the couple from the first book to see how they are getting on.<br />
<br />
Overall, this book was a bit of a let down but that's not going to stop me from continuing with the rest of this series as hopefully it will go back to the winning formula as the others.</div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><em>From the New York Times bestselling author of Suddenly Royal comes the first in a sparkling new series about America’s favorite royal—the First Daughter.</em></span></h1>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">Everyone makes mistakes, especially in college. But when you’re the daughter of the President of the United States, any little slip up is a huge embarrassment. Maddie McGuire’s latest error in judgment lands her in police custody, giving the press a field day. Agreeing to do community service as penance and to restore her tattered reputation, Maddie never dreams incredibly good looking but extremely annoying vice president’s son, Jake Simmon, will be along for the ride.</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">Recently returning from Afghanistan with a life-altering injury, Jake is wrestling with his own demons. He doesn’t have the time or patience to deal with the likes of Maddie. They’re like oil and water and every time they’re together, it’s combustible. But there’s a thin line
between love and hate, and it’s not long before their fiery arguments give way to infinitely sexier encounters.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">When Jake receives devastating news about the last remaining member of his unit, the darkness he’s resisted for so long begins to overwhelm him. Scared to let anyone close, he pushes Maddie away. But she isn’t about to give up on Jake that easily. Maddie’s fallen for him, and she’ll do anything to keep him from the edge as they both discover that love is a battlefield and there are some fights you just can’t lose.</span></blockquote>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span">I was given the chance to review this book and considering Nichole Chase is one of my favourite authors I jumped at the chance.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span">I'm not the biggest fan of the cover as for me it just doesn't work with the novel. I do like the colours that have been used but I think I would've preferred it in black and white.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span">As soon as I started reading this book I just new I was going to love it as right from the beginning I was hooked and I stayed hooked until the very end. I liked that it wasn't mainly focused on politics as not being from America I could've easily got confused but thankfully that wasn't the case and even when there was politics involved I understood what was going on. The relationship between Maddie and Jake was great as I loved their interactions between one another and I felt their chemistry was off the charts. One of the things that I loved most about this book was the after effects of being injured in action as I felt it was very delicately done and I even forgot until it was mentioned. I found that I felt so many emotions throughout this book as I would one minute be laughing and in the next moment I was nearly in tears. The ending ended perfectly and has made me eager to read the rest of the series.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span">I pretty much loved all the characters with a couple of exception but that was because of the way that they treated the other characters. When I first started reading this book I wasn't sure I was going to like Maddie or even Jake but by the end I loved them both. I felt Maddie really grew as a person throughout this book and I found myself routing for her. Jake had a lot of things that he had to get through so there was times when he wasn't the kindest person but I was able to forgive him as I felt that I was able to understand where he was coming from. I loved Jake's sisters and I hope they get their own book as I can't wait to get to know them even better. The people that really stole the show was seeing Sam and Alex from Suddenly Royal with a new addition it was great to have a bit of catch up from them as I felt it tied a few loose ends from the Suddenly Royal series.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span">Overall, this was an amazing read that had everything that I could've ever wished for I just hope the rest of the series is just as good.</span></div>

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c;"><b>“Let me clean up my stuff. We can take my truck.” He stood up with a grimace.</b></span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c;"><b>“What?” I looked at him as if he was crazy.</b></span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c;"><b>“You need help.” He shrugged. “I’ll help.”</b></span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c;"><b>“No, it’s okay. I’ll be fine.” I shook my head a little too hard and my pony tail whipped me in the eye. I grimaced and blinked back tears. “Ow!”</b></span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c;"><b>“Here—“ Jake pressed something to my eye. “It’s no big deal. This is what friends do, right?”</b></span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c;"><b>“You’re still on probation—“ I snapped and batted away his hand. That’s when I realized he had lifted his shirt to wipe away my tears, exposing a wide expanse of well-muscled abdomen.</b></span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c;"><b>“Then I still need to work it off.” He smiled at me and my frown deepened.</b></span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c;"><b>I had to stop doing stupid things around Jake Simmon. In fact I just needed to not be around Jake Simmon. Looking at him made my brain leak out my ears. Talking to him left me equally amused and tongue-tied. I couldn’t think straight around the man and he was busy chasing tail all over D.C. Yes, the last thing I needed was to spend more time with Jake while he tried to be my friend. It just muddied the waters.</b></span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c;"><b>“No, no, no. I’m fine.” I waved my hands to emphasize my point as if all the no’s hadn’t made it clear.</b></span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c;"><b>He reached toward my face again with his shirt. “Stop swatting at me or you’re going to get more dirt in your eyes. Be still, Madeline.”</b></span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c;"><b>I froze when he used my whole name. It was rare for anyone to use my full name and when he did, something odd happened in my stomach. He dabbed at my face while I tried to ignore the way my blood pressure rocketed with his proximity.</b></span></i><br />

Another slow reading month which I'm now starting to think will be the norm for me as I just don't have as much time to read as I used to as on top of work I have birthdays and then the dreaded Christmas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's what I did read in September:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><b><i>Aced (Blocked, #2) by Jennifer Lane - 4/5</i></b></li>
<li><b><i>The Gambler (The Wedding Pact, #3) by Denise Grover Swank - 4.5/5</i></b></li>
<li><b><i>Bedmates (American Royalty, #1) by Nichole Chase - 5/5</i></b></li>
</ul>
<div>
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div>
And the book of the month goes too...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

But when you’re the daughter of the President of the United States, any little slip up is a huge embarrassment. Maddie McGuire’s latest error in judgment lands her in police custody, giving the press a field day. Agreeing to do community service as penance and to restore her tattered reputation, Maddie never dreams incredibly good looking but extremely annoying vice president’s son, Jake Simmon, will be along for the ride.</span></b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; line-height: 21px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; line-height: 21px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">Recently returning from Afghanistan with a life-altering injury, Jake is wrestling with his own demons. He doesn’t have the time or patience to deal with the likes of Maddie. They’re like oil and water and every time they’re together, it’s combustible. But there’s a thin line between love and hate, and it’s not long before their fiery arguments give way to infinitely sexier encounters.</span></b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; line-height: 21px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; line-height: 21px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">When Jake receives devastating news about the last remaining member of his unit, the darkness he’s resisted for so long begins to overwhelm him. Scared to let anyone close, he pushes Maddie away. But she isn’t about to give up on Jake that easily. Maddie’s fallen for him, and she’ll do anything to keep him from the edge as they both discover that love is a battlefield and there are some fights you just can’t lose.</span></b></span></blockquote>

I've had this for a little while now and since I have the spin off book I thought I should finish this series so I can get onto it.<br />
<br />
I do like the romantic feel of the cover as well as that it matches the rest of the series which is always a plus in my eyes. What put's me off the cover is that it feels forced as you can tell that things have been photoshopped which I don't like.<br />
<br />
I was a bit wary about reading this one as I wasn't the biggest fan of book 2 but thankfully it was nearly as good as the first book so in the end I was very happy with this book. When I first started it I didn't think that I was going to like it as I didn't like how everyone was treating each other. Once I got over all of that it started to pick up rather quickly to the point of not wanting to put it down. What I have loved about this whole series is the humour and this book is no different as I would find myself laughing out loud which I love when a book can do that. As well as the humour there was also a bit of sadness in there which I actually don't mind as I then know how invested in a book I am when I feel everything the characters are feeling. The romance side of the story felt a little rushed and even though I found myself not caring about this in the first book, I just couldn't quite get over it in this book as it felt forced at times. There was some very sweet moments that I loved them together and for the most part it was when they where friends when they where the sweetest but by the end I needed them to be together. The ending was so sweet and fitting for the end of this particular series and even though I will be sad to see them go I'm pleased that there is going to be a spin off series so I do hope to see a glimpse of them just to see how everyone is getting on.<br />
<br />
I have always been a huge fan of most of the characters in this series and I was looking forward to getting to know Libby and Noah a bit better and I wasn't disappointed. Libby had been such a strong character in the previous books it was nice to see more sides to her character as she comes across as a selfless and caring person but she also showed a vulnerable side as well. I must admit I was most excited to read more about Noah as he has been one of my favourite character as his humour and the way he treats Libby has always drawn me to him. I also liked seeing his vulnerable side as well as it made him more of a realistic character. My all time favourite character in this series without a doubt has to be Gram she is such a funny character that every time she appears she steals the show and I loved that she was in this book a bit more than the previous book. I was a little bit disappointed with Megan and Josh with the way they acted especially towards Libby and Noah these characters that I loved in the first book just didn't feel like the same characters. Blair was just as annoying in this book as she was her own but right near the end she was able to redeem herself and likewise with Megan and Josh.<br />
<br />
Overall, I'm so pleased that this book didn't disappoint me as much as the previous book and now I'm looking forward to staring the spin off series.<br />

<br />
I received a review copy from the author Jennifer Lane in exchange for an honest review.<br />
<br />
I don't feel as though the cover as got any better since the first book and I would actually go as far as saying it's worse as I just don't like the guy used as he just doesn't scream Alejandro so it doesn't work for me.<br />
<br />
I was a bit nervous going into this book even though Jennifer Lane did say that this book wasn't mainly focused on American politics and I should've had more faith as I felt the politics wasn't as heavily involved. There was some politics involved but it felt easier to follow this time around and what I enjoyed was the different opinions and the banter used was a great addition that I was surprised that I even liked as I didn't in the first book and I think that it was because of the banter as it gave it a more light hearted feel to it. Like Blocked, Aced also had some hard hitting issues tackled and again was done in a sensitive way. I liked the way in which depression was tackled in Aced as I don't feel like it's tackled enough in any kind of media so this made a change. The only thing I didn't like about this book was how quickly the relationship evolved and in the beginning I didn't really believe in them as a couple but the further I went into the book the more I warmed to them as a couple and it was refreshing that what normally happens towards the end of a contemporary book never happened which was a huge plus in my eyes. I liked that Aced wasn't predictable towards the end as I never saw what happened towards the end to happen it was the edge of my seat stuff. As for the ending I felt this was a much better ending that Blocked so I was happy about that.<br />
<br />
I had mixed feelings about all characters before I started this book but a lot of my opinions changed throughout this book. Maddie I liked in Blocked so I was looking forward to reading her story and I was surprised with how different she seemed in this book compared to Blocked but this wasn't in a bad way as she had a lot to deal with in her past as well as her present. Maddie is such a caring person and I was always rooting for her to get her happy ever after. Alejandro I was a bit nervous about as I didn't really like him in book one and even in the beginning I didn't think that was going to change but in the end I really liked him. I loved that we got to see a bit more of Alejandro's Dad and I was very much surprised at how much I liked him. I was also surprised at how Lucia took a certain thing that happened as I thought she would've been happier than what she was but I felt she was a bit selfish.<br />
<br />
Overall, this book was better than the first and now I'm really excited to read Mateo's story.<br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Synopsis:</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; line-height: 21px;"><i>Welcome to Hartwell, a quiet seaside escape where uncovering old secrets could lead one woman to discover the meaning of a love that lasts…</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; line-height: 21px;">While Doctor Jessica Huntington engages with the inmates at the women’s correctional facility where she works, she’s always careful to avoid emotional attachments in her personal life. Loss and betrayal taught her that lesson long ago. But when she comes across a set of old love letters in the prison’s library and visits the picturesque town of Hartwell to deliver them to their intended recipient, she finds herself unable to resist the town’s charm—and her attraction to the sexy owner of a local bar proves equally hard to deny.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; line-height: 21px;">Since his divorce from his unfaithful ex-wife, Cooper Lawson has focused on what really matters: his family and the boardwalk pub they’ve owned for generations. But the first time Jessica steps into his bar, Cooper is beyond tempted to risk his heart on her. Yet as their attraction grows hotter and Jessica remains stubbornly closed off, he begins to realize it will take more than just passion to convince her there’s only one real thing in life worth fighting for…</span></span></b></blockquote>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">I received a review copy from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">I'm in two minds about this cover as I love the romantic look of it as well as the colours used but on the other hand it just looks like every other romance cover that I've read so it doesn't really stand out but it is better than the American cover.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">When I first started this book I was quite intrigued and sounded like it was going to be a bit different but that didn't last very long as it did become predictable. I think it was the middle part of the story that dragged the rating down as I was bored nothing was really happening and we didn't find out what Jessica's secret was until closer to the end which annoyed me as it was just dragged out for much longer than necessary. I liked the relationship between the two main characters as they weren't in love from the get go yes they where attracted to one another but I felt they grew together through out the book. The end really picked up but it was a little bit predictable but I didn't mind that too much as I have come to except that 9 out of 10 times in contemporary books it's going to happen. The ending was good as it cleared up Jessica and Cooper's story but left it wide open for other characters.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">I was actually surprised with the characters in this book as they were both not what I was expecting and sometimes it wasn't in a good way. With Cooper I thought he would be closed off towards Jessica but I felt he wasn't it just wasn't what I was expecting but I liked that about him. He was so understanding and I'm surprised he held out on pushing Jessica until the end. Jessica I would have thought would've been a stronger character than she was as she was so secretive even to us the reader we never knew her darkest secret until the end which was when I was able to understand her a bit better.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Overall, this isn't my favourite book written by Samantha Young but I'm hoping the series will get better.</span></div>
