Synopsis
Sometimes in love, you choose wrong…

Eight years ago, Lennon lost his heart to Rain, and suddenly she’s back, all grown up and sexy as hell. At a sorority party, he convinces himself that outbidding every other guy for a body shot from Rain is for charity. But he knows better. He doesn’t want any guy, except him, tarnishing the memory of the little girl he proposed to in fifth grade.

Jinx loves Lennon and is past ready for him to make his move. With his sexual prowess, she worries why he hasn’t made any advances. She fears she is losing him, and the only way to keep him is to overcome her past and give him what he desires.

Rain knows Lennon is trouble. If she couldn’t say no to the gangly boy asking her to skateboard off some roof, how will she refuse Lennon’s seductive powers now that he is a man? Rain has many reasons to resist his charm. He has a girlfriend, he’s moving to LA with her, and Rain has no intention to march in the long parade of Lennon Tyler conquests.

Now, Lennon must choose. Someone has to lose, and that person could be him.

Darra's Review:

I did read Lennon's Jinx and liked the book. However, I like Rain much more than Jinx. Maybe it is because they are just too different. Coming off of all the past that you find out in book #1, you wish the best and hope that they would end up together. But Lennon's past come into the his life and he can't help himself to go to Rain.
Rain loved Lennon. And you will obviously find out Lennon is in love with Rain. She is caring and understanding and looks after everyone. Even after Lennon's other relationship. Sometimes you just can't get past who you fall for. And you will find out who he chooses. It was super sweet he asked Rain to marry him when he was in middle school.
The book has so many things that happen just like the first book. The ending is crazy and you feel for all the characters. And you get to see Lennon's relationship evolved with his parents.

I would rate this book a 3.9. Solid plot. Lots of action. And of course, love.

Things are starting to heat up in Atlanta, or at least in Jane’s celibate life of two years. On the two year anniversary of her nasty split between her and her ex, Jane’s friends, Molly – class “A” filthy mouth – and Albert – flamboyant dresser extraordinaire – decide it’s high time Jane drops the conservative persona, let loose and start to have some fun once again. 

Brady Matthews, Atlanta Braves first baseman and well known through the media as Atlanta’s gigolo, thought he was just taking his new teammate, Michael Banks, out on the town. Little did he know Michael’s friend from college, Jane, was going to show up at their table and turn his world upside down. 

When Brady meets Jane, he is instantly attracted to Jane’s innocence and inner sex kitten but the last thing she wants is to be thrown into another relationship with such a publicly known man-whore especially after her heart was broken so devastatingly. Brady makes it his mission to win Jane over and make her see him as the man he actually is, not the way the media perceives him. But it is not that simple. Wedding plans, spring training, ex’s, old college friends, the paparazzi and gossip magazines seem to keep getting in the way of Brady’s goal to earn Jane’s heart. 

Caught Looking goes through the love lives of Jane, Brady and their group of friends fighting the hardships of cheating, trusting, losing love and trying to find it once again.

Sunny's Review:

Let's just be honest right now...a hot first baseman that plays for the Atlanta Braves...YOU CAN'T GO WRONG!!! I really loved Brady. He is awesome and I like the fact that he had his heart broken and did not even consider cheating on her. Jane was good too because she is honest about being all jacked up after her ex. She said she wasn't sure about a relationship and Brady took that and was actually pretty supportive of it. I don't know who wouldn't have fallen in love with Brady after the movies and I am glad that she gave him a chance. I can't wait to read Playing the Field. There was a HUGE cliffhanger and I am not going to lie...there were some tears sooooooo go get this book!!!!

I am giving it 4.2 stars. I like it and I think you will too.

About the Author:

When I was in high school I occasionally read books but was consumed by other teenage things so I didn't take the time to appreciate a good book on a cloudy day, wrapped up in a blanket on the couch.

It wasn't until I received a Kindle for Christmas one year that my world completely flipped upside down. When looking for books, I came across the Contemporary Romance genre and was sold and I haven't turned back since.

You can either find my head buried in my Kindle, listening to inspiring heart ripping music or typing away on the computer twisting and turning the lives of my characters while driving my readers crazy with anticipation.

​I am currently residing in beautiful Colorado Springs where the sun is always shining and there is a trail waiting to be hiked on every corner. I share a lovely and warm home with the love of my life and my five, four-legged children.

Surrender to Love by J.C. Valentine!!!

Title: Surrender to Love (Night Call #3)
Author: JC Valentine
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Publication Date: November 10, 2013
Event organized by: Literati Author Services, Inc.


Synopsis
After finding herself out of luck and out of love, Patricia Jacobs has written off the male species. No one but her father has ever given her the love and devotion she knows she deserves, and she’s sick and tired of it. Until she collides, literally, with a man whose devastating smile and seductive charm that should be considered illegal, destroys her plans. He’s everything she’s ever dreamed of in a man: handsome, intelligent, successful, they share a love of cars and best of all; he looks at her like she’s his light in the dark. What more could a girl ask for?
Jonathon Bradshaw, destroyed by a past that has haunted his every waking moment for the last five years, isn’t looking for a serious relationship, until he meets Patricia. Sweet, saucy and as hot as the summer is long, Jon can’t deny the draw he has toward her. For the first time, he has hope. Determined to shake the ghosts of his past, Jon focuses on forging a future with Patti, but he’s always been a master at standing in his own way.
When Jon’s past refuses to be forgotten, will Patti be able to live with the truth about the man who’s stolen her heart?

Add to Goodreads

Sunny's Review:

I really like this series of books. They are all set up to be stand alone books but they are all focused on different members of the same group of friends. I like Jonathon. He is kind of a jerk in that he is a womanizer but unapologetic about it. I do like that he was embarrassed when he met Patricia and she realized he was with 2 other girls. I do like Patricia. She is smart, funny and does not automatically roll over and do whatever Jon wants. They both some issues from their pasts to deal with and it pulls them apart. J.C. does a good job making you feel their pain and making you want to slap some sense into both of them. I like when an author can make me feel so strongly for the characters.

I am giving this book 4 stars out of 5 and recommend you reading it. Like I said these books can be read alone or as a series. I have enjoyed all the books in the series so far and look forward to more.

Beautiful Failure by Mariah Cole

Title: Beautiful Failure

Author: Mariah Cole

Genre: New Adult Romance

Hosted by: Mary Elizabeth’s Crazy Book Obsession

 

Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18625288-beautiful-failure

 

Synopsis

 

If you're looking for a heartwarming story about a girl who falls deeply in love with a troubled boy who changes her life--a sob story with pretty metaphors and a million ways that'll tell you how "broken" she is, STOP. Don't read another word of this.

I'm not that type of girl.

My name is Emerald Anderson and I'm not going to bullshit you: I flunked out of college after my sophomore year, I've been fired from every job I've ever taken, and I've never had a fully functioning relationship in my life.

I wish I could say that I had a cheerleader in my corner, someone who says, "No, Emerald--You're great and you are good at something!" but I don't. My grandparents are completely oblivious to my life, and my mother's dying words to me were "You're going to end up just like me one day. A beautiful nothing."

She was right.

As I decide to start my life over and take two jobs that will forever change me--one from the inside, and one from the outside, I keep my mother's words close to my heart so I can keep the sexy and mysterious Carter Black away.

He's the first man who's ever pursued me, the first man who seems bent on finding out why I am the way I am, but he's wasting his time.

I'm not broken. I don't need to be fixed. I'm perfectly fine being a beautiful failure...

 

Sunny's Review:

This book is really good. My mouth literally hung open at the beginning of this book. You get to see all the words of "wisdom" from Emerald's mother. It is interesting to see what some people think is important. I liked getting to see Emerald grow up a little bit and see that she has more issues than even she knows.

Carter is awesome in that he doesn't judge Emerald for the things that she is doing to survive. Instead he actually helps her get to and from work and watches her when she asks. He is pretty understanding on all fronts. I mean he is pretty much perfect. I was really mad at her towards the end and I can't wait for the next book.

I am going to give this book 4 out of 5 stars. I really like it and you are dealing with some situations that you don't normally see.

Only For You by Genna Rulon!!!!

Synopsis:

“In its purest form love is self-sacrificing, eternal, selfless, enduring, truthful, forgiving and indulgent. It also feels an awful lot like a kick to the stomach when you try to fight it!“

All Everleigh Carsen wanted to do was complete her final semester at Hensley University and begin the life she carefully planned.

When a wave of violent crime seizes campus, Everleigh is persuaded to attend a school sponsored self-defense seminar by her best friend, where she meets volunteer instructor, Hunter Charles. After Everleigh’s biting sarcasm induces Hunter to eject her from class, a tempestuous relationship is born.

Everleigh is determined to forget the striking man, but fate–that fickle shrew–continuously intervenes. Unable to escape him, she declares Hunter an enemy combatant. The only complication… Hunter is resolutely pursuing vindication…by any means necessary. Verbal warfare ensues, and despite Everleigh’s ingenious efforts, in Hunter, she has finally found her equal.

Only For You is a compelling tale of friendship, desire, and redemption--brimming with intelligent characters, witty dialogue, unexpected twists, profound sorrow, unfettered hope, and love’s unassailable perseverance.

Note:  Although this is series, each novel can be read as a stand alone.

Goodreads

Darra's Review:

I think this book reminds me of several of my other favorite books. Which of course is a good thing. Everleigh takes no crap and is sarcastic, a great combination. I did have a good laugh when she got kicked out of the class. And then she has him in one of her classes. The back and forth between the two are great. Smart and witty come backs. And when Hunter puts that music bug(you will understand when you read) in her ear, I laughed. And that night at the bar, the dancing.......wow.
There are several characters you get a taste of. But I want to hear more about Sam and her ex and many others. I assume that is why there are other books. There are many stories that revolve around the story of Hunter and Everleigh. Hunter is such a honorable guy, you can't help from wanting a Hunter for yourself.
Another book I needed to have my happily ever after. This book has so much that happens, it was easy to read the book in a day.
I would rate this book a 4.3. Give it a read!

Skipping Stones by JB McGee!!!!

Barnes & Noble * Kobo * Smashwords

Blurb:

They say there are five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

Not everyone will grieve in this order, nor will everyone go through every stage. It’s during the stage of denial when Alex Hart meets Andrew Foster. He takes her one-step closer to acceptance: the stage when new, meaningful relationships are formed. The stage when the realization occurs that this is now the new state of normal.

Just when Alex thinks she is on her way to healing, she enters the bargaining phase. That’s the phase where you wonder what you could have done differently. You wonder “what if?” Specifically, what if the ones you loved hadn’t left you?

Leaving…this is what makes heading off to war so difficult and frightening for Alex. She knows all too well what it’s like to be the one on the losing end of life, which is why she’s made it her personal mission in life to save as many lives as possible. The extreme high she gets from treating trauma victims turns into Alex’s own form of therapy, or so she thinks.

When faced with her world being turned upside down, Alex may just find that her true therapy is in the one who has always saved her.

Sugartown!!!

Title: Welcome to Sugartown
Author: Carmen Jenner
Genre: Contemporary New Adult
Release Date: November 3, 2013

Ana Belle never wanted anything more than to hang up her apron, jump on her Vespa and ride off into the sunset, leaving Sugartown in the dust.

Elijah Cade never wanted anything more than a hot meal, a side of hot arse and a soft place to lay his head at night where he could forget about his past.

But you know what they say about wanting: you always want what you can’t have.

Nineteen year-old virgin Ana is about to discover that’s not quite true because a six foot three, hotter than hell, tattooed, Aussie sex god just rode into town. He’s had a taste of her pie and he wants more– no really, Ana bakes pies for a living, get your mind out of the gutter.

She’d be willing to hand over everything tied up in a big red bow, there’s just one problem; Elijah has secrets dirtier than last week’s underwear. Secrets that won’t just break Ana’s heart, but put her life at risk, too. When those secrets come to light, their relationship is pushed to breaking point.

Add to that a psychotic nympho best friend, an overbearing father, a cuter than humanly possible kid brother, a wanton womanizing cousin, the ex from hell and more pies than you could poke a ... err ... stick ... at.

And you thought small towns were boring.

Darra's Review:

We had to pick this book out. Can't go wrong with a small town girl and a hot motorcycle guy coming into town. Ana has to take care of her Mom's pie restaurant. Which so happens to be across from her Dad's car and motorcycle shop..that Elijah works at. Ana is over her head with him. He is hot, manly and then she finds out he has a past. A very dangerous past.
Once she got involved in the past, she was done. She breaks it off for awhile. This is the part I was conflicted with. Elijah falls for her deeply. But things happen when they broke up and I just wanted to slap him in the face. But they were broken up. This is my inner girl thinking here. Jerk.
In the end, you can't help but love him. Despite all the really bad things that happen(OMFG that ex-boyfriend!) they must end up together. You will find out what happens!

I would rate this book a 4.2. it keep me interested all the way through. And Elijah is CRAZY. But in a good way.
