Give Me Strength by Kate McCarthy




Synopsis:

Quinn Salisbury doesn't think she's cut out for this whole living thing. Even as a young girl she struggled. Just when she thinks she's found a way to leave her violent past behind her, the only thing that's kept her going is ripped away, leaving her damaged and heartbroken.
Four years later, she is slowly rebuilding her life and lands a job as an assistant band manager to Jamieson, the hot new Australian act climbing their way to the top of the charts. There she meets Travis Valentine, the charismatic older brother of her boss, Mac.
From his commanding charm to his confidence and passion, Travis is everything Quinn believes is too good for her, and despite her apprehension, she finds their attraction undeniable and intense.
When her past resurfaces, it complicates their relationship. Instead of reaching out for help, Quinn pushes Travis away, until a staggering secret is revealed that leaves her fighting for her very life.
Torn between running and opening her heart to the man determined to have her, can Quinn find the strength within herself to fight for her future?

TRAILER!!!


Sunny's Review:

I really like this book. Quinn makes you want to be a stronger person. She has had an awful life but is still trying to make the best of what she can. Travis is just as sweet as Jarrod & every time Quinn pushes him away it breaks your heart. There are some really funny parts to this story as well as some mystery & suspense. I am looking forward to seeing what else is going to happen with this group of friends. 

Again, I read this story with an Australian accent which just made it that much better. This book is 4 out of 5 stars. I recommend you go read ASAP!

Give Me Love by Kate McCarthy

Evie Jamieson is a singer in an up-and-coming rock band. Moving to Sydney, she finds herself in the path of Jared Valentine, the brother of her band manager, Mac. Jared is a specialist consultant in hostage negotiation and kidnapping and Evie catches his eye. When an enemy tries to enact revenge, Jared finds he has a fight on his hands to not only make her his own, but keep her alive.

Sunny's Review:


As most of you know I am not into the band books. That is totally Darra's thing. I just wanted to get that out of the way. Now...this book is really freaking good. I love it. Jared and Evie are so sweet. Kinda annoying and stupid in that they are totally made for each other and they should realize it but you forgive them b/c they are just AWESOME! After they meet they become friends through texts and get to know each other. When they do move to the same town it is fun to watch them flip out and figure it all out.  I liked that there was a little bit of mystery and action. I also like that Evie doesn't come off as a diva. 

You really need to read this book and at $0.99 it is a steal. I am giving it 4 out of 5 stars. Love it! You have to read Give Me Strength after this (check out the blog tomorrow for my thoughts on that book!)

PS I am a dork and read the whole thing in an Australian accent
