CAMI'S REVIEW~PLAY by Kylie Scott

Love cannot even begin to describe how I feel about this book!! Play by Kylie Scott will be one I re-read over and over again! I am in serious love with MAL and only hope I can do this book justice with my review.

The witty banter had me laughing out loud and in all honesty, I might say I do...but I rarely LOL. 

Mal is one of those characters that comes to life, bounces off the pages and into your heart. He is that smart ass friend you would want on your side in a war of words and better yet he's also the life of the party! 

Anne is a doormat...(at first). She let's her friends use and abuse her. So when she meets Mal the famous drummer for Stage Dive at a party one night her mood is anything but receptive. But Mal decides he likes Anne and is going to make her his pretend girlfriend and new roommate. I swear the way he worms himself into situations is HILARIOUS!! 

Their 'fake' relationship involves his band members, her boss (that she's secretly in love with) and both of their families. I had F'ing butterflies throughout this entire book!! Honestly, I only get those with the BEST OF THE BEST books!!! This story is an absolute MUST READ!!! (And can also be read as a standalone) ;)

KIM'S REVIEW ~ MAYBE SOMEDAY by Colleen Hoover

Without a doubt, this is one of my favorite Colleen Hoover books.  I love her and I love her writing style & she has absolutely done it again.  I literally just  finished and I'm overwhelmed with what I just read.  It was absolutely beautiful.  

This is not my typical style of book to read.  I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into...but let me tell you, once I started reading it, I COULD NOT put it down.  I WOULD NOT put it down. 

Ridge Lawson is not your typical book boyfriend. He is EPIC!! He is the PERFECT book boyfriend!! I fell in love with him right from the start. He is sweet, honest and straight to the point. He will capture your heart and never return it. I loved everything about him. EVERYTHING!! He will melt you to the core. NO FLAWS...nope...not one.

Sydney Blake is a college student who lives with her best friend,Tori,of three years. UNTIL....she finds out her best friend has been sleeping with her boyfriend, Hunter, of two years. This leaves Sydney devastated, homeless and friendless.  

Sydney is offered a place to stay for a while by her gorgeous neighbor who has captivated her. She has been drawn to Ridge for a while now.  She loves listening to him play his guitar from his balcony from across the courtyard from her apartment. She would make up her own lyrics to his music and sing along to herself as he played not realizing he was watching her. 

Ridge was smitten by Sydney, especially, seeing her sing from across the courtyard to his guitar playing.  He wasn't sure what it was about her that sparked his attention and interest but he knew he couldn't deny the attraction.

**********

There is a love triangle in this book, but it is one like I have never experienced before. It will make you question who in the heck's team you're on??? You catch yourself rooting for both teams. Hell, it was torture...but it was a torture I craved...I just couldn't get enough. Let me tell you who's team I was on...I was TEAM RIDGE... 100%.  He could do ABSOLUTELY NO WRONG in my eyes...NONE!!! 

 I loved his thinking, I loved his way of rationalizing everything, I loved his compassion for others, I loved his unselfishness.  I just LOVED HIM... BUT, I loved his heart and soul the most. I must say that Colleen Hoover is brilliant...And REMARKABLY SO!

  Maggie, Ridge's girlfriend of five years, is gorgeous, carefree and very likable. His devotion to her is heart-warming and heart-wrenching at the same time. You can't help but adore his loyalty to her. But, on the other hand, Ridge and Sydney's connection is off the charts.  They know this and they fight it as hard as they can throughout the book because they both care for Maggie and neither one of them have ever been cheaters and they don't want to hurt her. Sydney knows this first hand because she has experienced it recently.  That betrayal is what brought her to Ridge...and bless his heart, he truly loves them both.

 Sydney and Ridge handle their feelings and  situation in a mature way and I loved that about them.  It's like nothing I have ever read before.  My heart shattered in tiny pieces for all three of them. I wanted to jump right in there and hug the shit out of them. 

"My heartbeats were all for Maggie. They always had been, but the more time I spent with you, the more you started to unintentionally infiltrate and steal some of those heartbeats."

Even though I did feel a connection with Maggie, and I truly felt for her, I could feel the genuine love that Sydney and Ridge had for one another.  Their chemistry was off the charts and I could NOT stop rooting for them.  It killed me for Ridge knowing how he felt for both of these women.  He's that amazing to me.  HE'S PERFECTION!!

"I...will never...regret you."

"Nothing in my life has ever felt so good, yet hurt so achingly bad."

"The second my lips touched yours, my heart split completely in two. Half of it belonged to you from that point on. Every other beat of my heart was for you."

In my opinion, this book is brilliant. The entire book was beautifully written and Colleen Hoover did an amazing job drawing you in and making you fall in love with all her characters. I'm more in awe with her than I have ever been. I've always been a huge huge fan of hers but now she has a fan for life. I'm still thinking of Ridge and what he went through. I'm so stoked that I read this book. It will stay with me from now on and that makes me so happy. It makes me look at my life different and makes me want to be a better person...Just like Ridge.

Kudos to Colleen Hoover...The Queen of my soul!!!

"For her I bend, for you I break."

"It's you," he says aloud. "My heart...wants you."

OMG..HE MELTS ME!!!

This book is a MUST READ!! 

I give Maybe Someday 5+++ Crazie

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK!!
5+++ "Crazie" Stars!!

This book contains every single quality I look for in a great story! Angst, love triangle, hot brooding bad boy, best friends, jealousy, and unrequited love just to name a few. Add in the authors writing style and this book was instant love for me!

Cameron and Tess have been best friends for years. Ever since Cam saved her from complete ruination at her new school where perception was everything.
That was the day she fell for him. Now years later she's just waiting for him to realize they belong together. But there's just one snag. And that snag happens to be his other best friend and resident asshole Adonis. Now back at college, Tess is not happy to find that Cam's new roommate happens to be the one and only resident asshole.
The verbal barbs Tess and Adonis share will leave you speechless! You can feel the hatred between the two in the beginning, but rest assured it doesn't stay that way. ;)

Yeah.........that's all your getting from me because I refuse to give anything away about this book! It's just one of those that you have to experience for yourself, it's that good!!
Now go get this book if you want to read a real kick ass angsty romance!

CAMI'S REVIEW~STIRRED UP by Angela Graham and SE Hall

What a FANTASTIC collaboration between these two authors! 

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK!!! I'm a sucker for the...'we grew up together and never realized our feelings for each other'...kind of books. So this was right up my alley! 

Addison is working hard and trying to keep her brother Dylan on track. From his constant moving around and obsessive interest in video games she feels he relies too heavily on their friend Brady, who always seems to 'swoop' in at just the right time to rescue Dylan from any predicament he may be in. 

Brady is hottie with all the ladies falling at his feet...literally! ( you'll see what I mean when you read it) ;) But Dr. Brady also seems to be concerned with Addison's health, well being and what guy she's bringing to dinner. There is so much more to this story than I can tell without giving anything away. 

Yes it may be a quick read, but believe me when I say you'll kick yourself if you pass it up just for that reason! The story flowed effortlessly and the dialogue was so great! You will fall head over heels for these characters INSTANTLY! 

5 "Crazie" Good Stars!!!! ~Cami

CAMI'S REVIEW~DEVIANT by Callie Hart

Deviant by Callie Hart

Wow! Wow! Wow! 4.5 "Crazie" Stars!
If you are looking for a dark and twisted story, this book should definitely be your next read!
The synopsis caught my attention and once I started the book I was reeled in from the first few pages. I love the kind of books that can do that!

Sloane is desperately searching for answers. Her sister has gone missing and she's willing to do whatever it takes to find her.
Once she figures out it is going to take more than money to get what she's looking for, she decides to offer herself up for those answers.
And this is where the book takes a ride on the dark side. She meets up with a stranger and carries through with her part of the deal. Only to find out she was set up and never really going to learn the truth. It seems as if all hope is gone and she may never get the answers she so desperately needs to find her sister.
That is until two years later that same stranger walks into the ER where she works.
Now he needs her help, and once she realizes it's him she's determined to get her answers!
I really liked Sloanes character. She did everything in her power to find information about her sister. She stayed strong throughout the entire book and never wavered.
Zeth seriously scared the shit out of me! At first.
Then he became that character you don't want to love but somehow slips right in when you're not paying attention.
I will without a doubt continue to follow this series! It's one story that will stay with me and I won't have to go back and re-read before the next book comes out.
Highly recommend!!

KIM'S REVIEW ~ IGNITE by R.J. Lewis

OMG!!! I absolutely am stunned at this book & what I've just read. I'm in love with R.J. Lewis.  I have been in a book slump for some time now & Ignite & R.J. have pulled me right out of that slump & propped me right back into my wonderful Book World...happy as can be ;)

Jaxon(love him) & Sara are both from the projects.  Sara is brought up by an abusive father & an alcoholic mother. Jaxon has a wonderful, loving mother who works hard to take care of him & a non-existant father who left him & his mother when he was young.  Jaxon is popular in school, he's athletic & gorgeous & the girls want him & the boys want to be like him. He's just PERFECT!!!!  

The complete opposite for Sara, who is bullied because she is poor. She has no friends & is constantly trying to avoid everyone & not be noticed. She tried to hide in the background...& with not much luck.  One day she is being picked on by a prissy ass bitty & Jaxon takes up for her.  Turns the table on the prissy ass bully. Gah, he is awesome!!!

From that day on, Jaxon & Sara became friends...then friends that became best friends.  Jaxon took Sara to her Senior Prom...SWOON!!! Then they were friends that became lovers.  Gah, how I love him.  He is soooo...sooo freaking AMAZING. 

Jaxon & Sara then became inseparable.

 Their love for one another blossomed & you were right there with them riding out their high.  I felt everything Sara felt.  He melted me... He swooned me...He knocked my freaking socks off. I couldn't put the book down.  I was up until the wee hours of the morning, then I would finally go to sleep & then wake up & go right back at it again.  I had to have more of Jaxon..I needed more of Jaxton. I had to know what was going to happen.

WELL...Let me tell you what happened. Freaking Sara got a wild crazy hair up her ass and let her mind get the best of her & ruined the best thing that ever happened to her. I wanted to bitch slap her.  I wanted to pull every hair in her head out. She drove me freaking crazy.  Gah, I wanted to jump in there and shake the shit out of her and say WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM? Look at that adonis that you have and he FREAKING LOVES YOU...you dimwit!!! 

But, Sara had some issues that she needed to resolve. So, she just left him...left him. I was like c'mon, get over yourself & grow the hell up. I wanted to strangle her. But, then on the other hand, I did feel sorry for her. I was angry at someone else as well for putting the thought in her head to begin with.  I won't say who... but, after you read it you will know who I'm talking about.  I loved that character but I wanted to strangle them at that moment as well.

Now, 5 years later & Sara has dropped out of  law school with only 2 years to go.  She felt she didn't deserve to be happy after leaving the love of her life.  She felt being miserable was what she deserved.  She got a job at a law firm and started sleeping with the boss.  It was a "boss with benefits" type relationship.  This relationship went on for about 2 years...until...  

Sara received some bad news which forced her to have to go back home and take care of some things.  She didn't think she would ever be going back to her hometown & never dreamed of running into the love of her life ever again.  Well, she was in for a rude awakening.  Things didn't go as she had hoped & she didn't get a welcome home party either...Nope, not at all.

One person in particular was not happy to see her. He was a complete jerk towards her. She definitely deserved it with the way things had went down between them. I felt bad for her at that moment and that's when I did a complete turn around with my feelings toward Sara. I started liking her again. She had a rough 5 years and she took full responsibility for leaving him. She knew she messed up but felt it needed to be done because of her past. She was afraid she would continue hurting him by staying with him. 

She NEVER stopped loving him..NEVER!!!

I have to stop here or I will give too much away.You will have to read the book to see what happens in the end. & OH BOY...what an ending.

I give Ignite 5 Crazie Stars!!! ~Kim

KIM'S REVIEW ~ CRASHED by K. Bromberg

I'm not really sure where to even begin with this review.  Books that I love are really hard for me to put into words how they make me feel. It's like I'm afraid I can't express in writing how it actually affected me. But I'm dang sure gonna try. ;)

 I fell in love with Colton Donovan (ACE) in book # 1 ~ Driven. Fell head over heals in book # 2 ~ Fueled. & madly in love in book # 3 ~ Crashed.  He melted me & assaulted me in ways I never dreamed. Everything about him was right on.  I took my time reading CRASHED & believe me, I'm a power reader & I did that because I didn't want it to end.

 I loved the Alpha male in him, I loved his smart, dirty mouth.  I loved his darkness. I loved his smirk, I loved when he ran his hands through his hair.  I loved his bantering with Beck(and oh how I love Beck too) & Rylee. I loved when he would say "checkered flag".  DAMN, I want a freaking checkered flag.  Gah, I LOVED THAT DAMN MOUTH!! I race Colton Donovan to the moon & back & back again.

Colton's love for Rylee was so heart warming & I loved having his POV( I love knowing how the characters are feeling especially alpha males like Colton). I loved how K. Bromberg drew us in and held us captive until that last word was written.  All I could think about was getting back to my ACE. Between patients I would sneak & read on my phone at work...shhhhh. I lived & breathed Colton Donovan until the very end.  Now I'm still thinking of  him.  Great books will keep you thinking of their characters for days.  I'm sure it will be more like forever with me.  That's how much this series has touched me.  I have my share of book boyfriends & believe me the list is huge.  Well, Colton Donovan has raced his way to the finish line of my heart & left his mark on me...permanently!!! 

All I really can say is if you haven't read this series, you are missing out!!! & WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU WAITING FOR??? These characters will touch you & stay with you forever.  I'm terribly sad that the end has come.  I've looked so forward for Crashed to be released, but now, I'm sad it's over.  I'm guessing I will be re-reading this series for years to come. K. Bromberg you did it again.  You've ROCKED MY WORLD. Thank you for bringing us COLTON & the CREW.  Their chemistry was  COMPLETE PERFECTION!!!

I RACE YOU & I THANK YOU!!! & I WANT A FREAKING CHECKERED FLAG!! ;)

I give Driven, Fueled & Crashed 5 Crazie Stars!!! ~Kim
