how do I review? Sometimes in my reviews I give an overview of what the book is about. I do that because the synopsis really didn't explain much or it was way off on what the main story was really about. Or I just keep it short and simple with a A+ or a big fat F.

With the end game, I will keep it short and simple b/c really the synopsis explains the book really well "without" giving anything away.
Ms. McCarthy did such an awesome job in writing this story. The opening was to the point and you new as a reader that you would already love Jordan and her brother, Nicky. ALL the side characters had lots of personality and TONS of bantering amongst them all. Brody's main problem took me by suprise. I have personally never experienced it nor been around it but know from others that it is very much difficult to grasp.
The story is centered around Jordan soccer / Brody's football and Brody's problem.
Again Ms. McCarthy did an incrediable job in her writing. Lots of suprise drama between friends AND FAMILY and definitely a big surprise in Jordan and Brody's relationship (didn't see that coming)!

Here is my all time favorite scene in this book... and you will LOL when you read and understand it too.

This afternoon it does nothing because Eddie, like the rest of us, is dressed in a cheerleading outfit. It comes complete with a skirt and the pompoms we lifted from the squad room.
Announcer - We have something very special for your pre-game entertainment this afternoon, folks. Everyone
please welcome to the field, The Colton Bullettes!
A breeze ripples down low across the field, fluttering my skirt. My mother****** skirt. Damiens right. Of all the dumb things Ive done, this is up there.
Our routine begins and already Carter bounces the wrong way. Eddie slaps him on the a** and he turns quickly. Our hips are grinding and pompoms waving
We finish up our routine with the big finale, which is four of the guys crouching down, and the other four leaping over the top. Its basic leapfrog and as a wide receiver, it should be a skill I can handle in my sleep. H***, even a five-year-old could ace the move, but Im too busy watching Jordan. My aim is off when I leap over Eddies mountainous crouched form. I end up with my legs half wrapped around the back of his neck and we both go down. Eddie squeals like a girl. Get your motherf******** balls off my neck, you sick bast******!  (the stars replace the inappropriate word.  First review was rejected b/c i left it like it was written. Didn't realize Amazon monitor that kind of stuff)

There were lots of LOL moments but there were also some serious moments.

I give this book 4.5 stars!!! Why not 5? I will have to admit there were a few times after the halfway mark that i was mentally telling myself "alright lets move on to the next point." It seemed to drag just a little bit and enough for me to notice... but it would pick back up and the dragging was soon forgotten.

Yes, i would recommend.

Man, what can I even say about this book! I FLOVED it! At the end of book 2, Pulled, I was totally torn about who I wanted Leila to end up with, and as I was reading Torn and those answers started unfolding I realized I was never actually off the Jaxson train. And I was totally ok with her continuing her engagement to him. Although Brody has definitely redeemed him self in my eyes, I still feel like his and Leila's connection wasn't as intense or strong as her's and Jaxson's connection. Although Jaxson and Brody are still not BFFs, you definitely get to see them to rise above there caveman ways and work together for Leila and the baby. They still have their moments, but I didn't find my self hating wanting to shake them two bad!

This book seriously had a lot of surprises, and everything started to completely make sense! Towards the end I kept thinking please don't let this be the end! Please let there be books about Brody, Barb, and Drew! Well what do you know...at the end it says Brody's book is coming! Yay! I seriously can't wait! And you...you seriously need to one-click this book!!

Second in the Striving Series, but can be read alone.

Perfection is a gimmick.

Its something they use to sell you s*** you don't need. The perfect home. The perfect family. The perfect marriage. Photos of that perfect life are all around us, but none of it exists.

This story is about Rachael, a photographer. Her boss is her ex-boyfriend who she once thought was her ever after and the love of her life. Her world ended when one day she came home from a photo shoot  to catch him in bed with another woman. Not only did this woman take the love of her life, soon her perfect too.

Carl Williamson: He has the perfect job, the perfect house, a beautiful little girl, and the perfect marriage. That is till his wife suddenly died of cancer.

"I know better because I take those photos. Its all a ruse to make us think that's what we want. Behind closed doors, the house is a mess, the family is fighting, and that loving couple hates each other. I prefer a different city every week, laughing friends, and a variety of lovers."

Rachael & Carl meet at a photo shoot, but that wasn't their first meeting. They've met before and there was a misunderstanding that Rachael ran away from and hasn't seen Carl since... until now, and boy do the sparks fly!

The misunderstandings get cleared up and they have great chemistry but they both have baggage and they don't know what to do about their feelings.

they be able to help each other get through their turmoil?
I loved watching Rachael and Carl fall in love. This story was written so well and kept my attention throughout.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Oh my goodness, I swear I just about swooned myself off the couch while I was reading this book! Ezra and Kayla are absolute perfection and are going down as one of my top OTP's! They were so amazing together and for each other. I love how they stuck by each other and there wasn't a lot of drama surrounding them. That made for a really pleasant read. I also love that this book deals with some pretty tough real life issues. It was handled very well and brought out true emotion from me as the reader.

This book was the perfect amount of sweet and sexy. I just loved these two so much. I was hoping as soon as Ezra was introduced in Dropout that he would be getting a book of his own and this one did not disappoint at all! I highly recommend you check this one out.

The crappy cover gets a -5.  Who could possibly have thought this particular pic would make a good cover choice?  The guy looks about 16, maybe 5'4" and like he's angst-ing for his gay lover LOL!  Not at all how the author portrays Brody.  I don't usually go gaga over covers, but it's irritating when someone gets it SO wrong.

The story gets a 4.5.  I can wrap this up quickly:  HOT, engaging, heartfelt storyline, badass but lovable leads and secondary characters, REALLY SMOKIN' HOT intimacy, rockin' wheels, tats and bods, sometimes funny and smartass, sometimes raunchy and gritty. Oh, yes, it's also DELICIOUSLY HOT!  So far every book in this series made it to my Excellent collection. I've preordered Hunter and look forward to enjoying it, as well.  Hunter has a GREAT cover, btw.

I absolutely loved this book. I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. Juls, Joey and Dylan are the perfect set of best friends. Dylan's feisty personality had some crazy things coming out of her mouth.

Reese is a completely swoon worthy BBF! The SEXY scenes were so hot you.made need a spare pair of panties.

This author has made my list of automatic one clicks!

Just keeps getting better.
Brody has met his match and she is perfect for him. Layla was awesome and despite everything she had been thru she still kept her sassy, spunky spirit. Brody and Layla were perfect for each other.
Action, suspense, hot steamy loving, laughter and love.
So looking forward to the next in this series and see what kind of mischief Travis will be either starting or getting into while trying to get his mate to notice him. I just know it is gonna be awesome!!

First off, let me say how damn giddy I am for a new series from JA Huss. And not only that, we're getting a new team!!

With that said, Mr. Perfect was pretty well, perfect. It was charming, funny, smart, and sexy. I loved the chemistry between Ellie and Mac and the sex scenes were hot as hell! I will never look at butter the same way again. lol!

If you're a Huss #fan, this is a must read. And I know that I'm counting down the days until the next book releases. I'm curious to see which Mister will be my favorite.

Kacie is this down to earth woman who was left to pick up the pieces of her life when her boyfriend up and left her.  She has been single for the past four years and that has suited her perfectly.  After all, she has twin girls who occupy her time and she has been managing just fine with the help of her mother.  Kacie has no desire to date let alone entertain the idea of a serious relationship.  When Brody Murphy shows up with his good looks and charming ways, Kacie finds herself thinking about what it would be like to have a man in her life. He stirs things in her that have been dormant for a very long time and Kacie has to decide whether or not there is room in her life for Brody Murphy and his swoon worthy ways.

Brody Murphy has to be one of the best book boyfriends of all times.  I loved all the ways that Brody showed Kacie what she was missing out on behind all the walls she had built to protect herself and her girls.  He was just what she needed, even if she did not know it.

You were so scared, Kacie, just like you are about life.  I wanted you to see that sometimes, even when something terrifies you, if you just give it a chance its actually pretty incredible.

Watching Kacie try to resist Brodys charm was humorous and frustrating at times.  But with wounds that ran as deep as hers, I understood her self-preservation needs.  I loved the way Brody diligently pursued Kacie even through all her resistance and intent to just be friends.  Watching him fall for her left me grinning from ear to ear and giddy.

She walked over to the large pot on the stove, lifted the wooden spoon to her lips and tasted the chili.  I almost lost my s*** right there at the table, but I couldn't look away.  I didn't even care if anyone was watching me watch her.  This was the most torturous, accidental seduction Id ever been a part of and I was enjoying every second of it.  Brody

I loved the way Brody was with the Twinkies and how his affection towards Lucy and Piper was pure and sweet.  He was accepting of Kacie and the girls being a package deal from the beginning and before long he wanted more of all of them.

Life is a sum made up of small parts, Kacie.  Some are good; some are bad.  You and the girls are definitely one of the good.  The best good there is and Ill fight like hell to keep you here.

This story was a breath of fresh air for me.  Its the kind of story that makes you sigh and smile at times and leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy.  Dont get me wrong, there was plenty of page-turning drama to keep me interested and there were a couple of times I wanted to shake some sense into Kacie. But its been awhile since I had a story that left me with such a ridiculous smile and happy heart, even if there was a tiny little surprise at the end.

This is part of the "Last Call" series, but can be read as a standalone.  Brody Markham has just spent the last five years in prison, and to say he's having a hard time adjusting to his new life is an understatement.  He's cold, broody, angry and withdrawn.  Alyssa Myers is best friends with Brody's sister, but has been trying to separate herself from the rich heiress she grew up as, following her passion by running The Haven, a no-kill animal shelter.  Brody and Alyssa cross paths when Brody volunteers at the shelter for his community service.  There's no denying the immediate physical attraction, but Alyssa keenly recognizes the injured and dying man inside.  I loved this book - I loved the way they both fought the losing battle not to get together, and I loved the underlying trust that was forged between them.

This was a great read and I hope everything works out for Nat. She deserves to be happy with Cam. As for the triad I hope she kicks their butts. I also like Brody.  I hope that he comes out on the good side of the series. Going to start the next book #17.

What can I say? You already know I love Sawyer's writing and stories. I'm addicted to "The Last Call Series".  The Markham Twins are adorable. I adore them Period.

And now I am completely in love with a very damage, very arrogant British man. BRITISH! My weakness! Wow Gavin is the kind of man you love to hate. He can be so rude at times, but you will understand later why he is the way he is.

And here, at Last,  We get to be inside Savannah's head.  We met  her in the previous books and she is so sweet.

I was so glad to be with the gang again, at least for a few moments : Gabby, Hunter, Alyssa, Casey and Brody! I LOVE BRODY! He is my Hero! I AM SO HAPPY FOR HIM! Why? Oh C'mon, One-click this baby boy and find out!

The story was good, so why the four PEANUT stars? Because I wanted more. I know there will be more books in the series, but the last chapters were the more intense for me and I didn't get to enjoy that part of their lives that much.

Can't wait for the next book!

"Yes, I whisper to him. Ill start falling in love with you. I promise. Good, he whispers back. Because Ive already started that process with you.
