With a Twist is a beautiful, sweet, seductive love story that takes hold and sucks you in from the very first page. I'm struggling to put into words how wonderfully superb this book actually is! It's filled with such raw connectable emotions that have now left me in a serious funk!

I adore Staci's writing, her amazingly descriptive characters take hold of your heart and do not let go! The dynamic of friendship portrayed through this book is fantastic and each and every single character is someone you can really feel for and fall in love with! So much so that I would love each and everyone of them to have their own book!

I am head over heels 100% in love with West! What an outstanding lead male he is. He will capture your heart as I mentioned before but will squeeze it so tight that you will not want to let him go!

I am devastated that this beautiful friends to lovers story is over but couldn't have asked for a more perfect ending! An exquisite 5 star read that deserves so much more.

I just finished and I can barely see to type this through my tears. Amazing!!! This story is so beautiful and shows the true depths of what love and commitment are. I don't want to spoil anything but so many facets of this story really hit home. I'm so glad you chose to write this story in that direction. You've shown pain and healing and I thank you for that.

WOW okay. This book was just absolutely beautiful. I loved it sooooooooo much! Like so so so much. Absolutely amazing!!! It was filled with the most incredible emotions and had the most amazing ending. I honestly don't think this review will be very long because I don't want to tell you anything about it. Just asking you real nicely to read it. Pleeeeeease :D

Sharla Lovelace has produced one of the most emotionally charged and beautifully written second-chance love stories I have read in a very long time. These second-chance books are my absolute favourite because when written well, they blow me away. Dont Let Go was one of those books that will stay with me forever. When someone asks for a second-chance book recommendation, this one will be the first one I mention. It needs to go right up the top of your TBR list.

In a nutshell, Jules and Noah were best friends as kids and then later on lovers when he takes off at the age of 17 and never returns. With a whole lot of stuff happening between the day he walked away until the present day, 26 years later, when Noah walks back into Jules life. The story evolves slowly from there and we get to piece together the puzzle that are those missing years. There are some amazing revelations, beautiful twists and incredible side characters.

I will say though, when Noah returns, he does so with another woman. But there is NO love triangle. In fact, Sharla has written this so wonderfully, that you cant help but love absolutely everyone in this book. Noahs new girl included.

Jules was a wonderful heroine. A single mother raising her teenage daughter Becca with some help from her ex-husband Hayden. The relationship between the 3 of them is another wonderful one to watch. The growth and development between these characters as the story progresses gives me the warm fuzzies.

Jules and Noahs relationship is just another thing all together. I really don't want to go into anything there. Its just intense, beautiful, sad, heartbreaking and wonderful all at the same time. I just absolutely fell head over heals in love with their love story.

There were so many amazing lines in this book. And I want you to experience them all for yourselves. Those incredible butterflies, those feels, they make this book and really need to be read for the very first time during the story. Those awwwww moments are just so special and so wonderful and so  gah! they're just amazing. You just really really need to read this book. The characters, the storyline, the twists, the surprises, the emotions, the tears.. everything its just the most perfect book.

PERFECT, PERFECT, PERFECT!!!

It Ends with Us is such a beautiful and emotional story. I went in barely even looking at the blurb. I mean hello, it is Colleen Hoover after all that wrote this book. I knew that it would be nothing short than amazing but wow, I just hadnt expected what this book did to me, how it made me feel.
I cant recommend a book more than this one. This is by far one of the best book I have ever read. Its so raw, and isn't all pretty like some might want. Its realistic and hits such points that so many cant ever begin to imagine, or to understand. Reading this story I felt as if I could feel everything that Lily was feeling. I wanted to scream at times. Why couldn't things be different. However, I do understand exactly why it had to be the way it turned out and I am so happy Colleen didn't change anything. I loved these characters so much. Yes all of them!!

I can honestly say that I have never cried so much with a book, and I mean bawled like a baby sitting in my bed, having to take moments to clear my eyes and control my tears so that I could continue to push through this story. Please don't let that stop you from reading this book. These tears are part of why I love this book so much. I felt such raw emotion, so much so that I cant help but to love it! No book has ever pulled me in so much. I felt as if my own heart was being broken as I turned each page. My heart broke for Lily, for Ryle, and for so many other reasons.

I want to talk so much about this story, to go into such depth and explain each character. To explain why I love each of them, but also hate about each of them. However, I cant do that. You must and I mean must go into this story open minded and blind. Its the best way to get the full experience. This story hit so many spots for me on such a personal level. I also can say that Lily is probably one of my all time favorite Heroins in a book. Shes so brave and bold. She loves so deeply. She is compassionate, kind, strong, & overall such an amazing woman.

I do hope that each person who reads It Ends with Us can appreciate the story that Colleen tells, that they can end the book and feel complete with how it ends. That you can feel emotions from this story, but also can take a new understanding with you. I know I will, Ill be much more open minded to events that may occur around me. Ill never EVER forget this book and will always recommend it to my friends!!

Thank you Colleen for writing this book!

SighI cant say how much I love this story. I loved Fredas POV in Painted Faces and I pretty much think I have fallen completely head over heels in love with Nicholas POV in Killer Queen. I was so ecstatic when I saw that this book was coming out. The story of Nicholas and Freda is so unique, flirty, romantic, sexy as all hell, hilarious, witty, heart-breaking, brutally honest and just downright beautiful. Its an amazing love story told about two very different, lively and extraordinary people. Nicholas/Vivica is an unforgettable character who will etch himself into your memory forever. He is lovable and downright hot. His thoughts, banter and unfiltered words throughout this book will leave you breathless, laughing hysterically, and in a big puddle of mushy gushy love. I thoroughly enjoyed getting his POV and seeing how Freda weaved her way into his heart and how his love for her utterly consumed him. We got to see the raw and uncut side of Viv and it dramatic and gut-wrenching. We watched how his life transformed with the presence and love of Freda.

I don't know how Cosway came up with this story but Im glad she did. It is so different and amazing. I never thought a straight guy in Drag could be so damn sexy, that pushing of the boundaries is just so alluring that you cant help but fall madly in love and totally wanton for him. He makes me hot just thinking about it, LOL. If you haven't read Painted Faces then you need too, Fredas perspective is indeed different from NicViv but the love shines through the same. It was so much fun to relive some of those heartfelt moments from Painted Faces through NicVivs eyes. This and Painted Faces is a must read for anyone who is looking to spice up their romance reads with a little flare and sauciness. You won't be disappointed in picking up this book and in the words of Nic/Viv, he will find a way to make you tug uncomfortably at your collars but you will love every minute of it you nosy little devils!

From the beginning of the first chapter I knew that I was in for a lot of heartache, crying sessions and overall curling up in a ball because this story that Chelle Bliss as delivered will tilt your world. I am so thrilled to say that this was a beautiful story that brought fear, survival and true love to the very surface of what we crave for in a story. I am completely blown away.

This is my first book by Chelle Bliss and I am so happy that I one-clicked this story. 
I highly recommend it! Just make sure that you have tissues on handlike a whole box from Costco. Youll be needing it.

I don't know how to put my thoughts and feelings into words, but I will certainly try (though they will not do this book justice). This book was beautiful in every sense of the word. The love that Achille and Caresa felt for each other is the love that everyone wishes for, the love that fairytales speak of. They are lost souls finding each others missing parts, two halves of a whole. This story made my heart break at times, but most importantly soar. The simplistic love they felt for each other is what dreams are made of, their love is what brings a smile to my face knowing that out there in the world there is love like that even when it may not seem like there is.
A breathtaking read that I wish I give more than 5 HUGE stars!

First let me say as with all of my reviews I will certainly strive to give you a vibrant image of how fantastic Unloved is without any spoilers to this story. That being said, this is probably going to be one of the most difficult reviews I have ever written because there is so much to say about Unloved that I simply won't be able to articulate how truly exceptional it is other than simply saying: YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK!! In typical Katy Regnery fashion, her characters are extraordinary. You will find yourself attached to them from the moment you pick up your iPad leaving you with such an intensified curiosity as to how their lives will progress that you won't want to put it down until you see the words The End.

To be honest, after having seen the cover of Unloved, so different from those which have preceded it, as well as reading the synopsis, I was unsure of exactly what to expect with this new release. Ive been following Ms. Regnery for years ever since her first series, Heart of Montana, and she quickly attained her rightful place at the top of my must read authors list with her knack for lighthearted romance as well as her more serious modern fairytales. As such, its never a question of whether or not I will read one of her novels; only how quickly I can get my hands on it.

As I began reading Unloved I could almost immediately sense how different this story was going to be from her other novels. And now, after having reached the end, I am in complete awe of Katy Regnery. The amazing development and progression her writing style has taken over the years is absolutely magical and this story exhibits exactly that. The depth of development of all her characters is always spectacular, but Cassidy and Brynn are remarkable. I could feel the immediate emotional attachment to them both from the inception of this story.

Both Brynn and Cassidy suffer from emotionally tragic events that have occurred in their past. But from the moment Cassidy sees her, he feels a connection to Brynn he has never before experienced, though he knows he must keep his distance. But when circumstances dictate that he has no choice but to step out of the shadows to help her, he knows it is what he must do. From the moment Brynn looks into his unusual eyes (this will make sense when you read the book), she begins to feel an undeniable connection to Cassidy as well. As Brynn overcomes the hurt from her past and begins to express what she feels for him, Cassidy fights with his growing feelings for Brynn as he knows to the depths of his soul that because of who he is, forever is not an option for him. Will Brynns persistence and determination ultimately lead her to a path of finding a way to break through to Cassidy and prove to him that he is not the man he is convinced he is, and that they truly belong together to share a lifetime of love they both deserve?

Using the term love story just does not cover it with Unloved. Though don't get me wrong, it is first and foremost just that. But with that Katy Regnery has also given us moments of on the edge of your seat suspense intertwined with heartbreak and a touchingly deep, to the depths of your soul, romance. Unloved will make you cry as sadness and a sorrowful lump forms in your throat. But her gift as a writer will also leave with you tears of happiness when you realize that her characters will find the happily ever after that belongs to them. So though I will call Unloved a love story, I will also describe it as magical, extraordinary and so far beyond what Ms. Regnery has given to us in the past. It transcends the simple love story universe and travels far into the cosmos.

OMG this was such a magnificent, emotional,  wonderful love story. It gave me laughter, happiness, sadness and tears. It's a magnificent historical romance with that periods strict moral codes. Without writing spoilers I can't say much, but I can tell you the love in this story takes years in reaching its beautiful climax. It goes through marriage's both filled with love, as well as arranged and no love. This book is now my favorite love story and I believe it will be for a long time, if not forever.

Truly one of the most beautiful stories I have ever read. I'm a huge fan of Michelle's books and this one, this one is by far my favorite. This book has truly touched my heart and I don't think I have cried and smiled so much as when I have read The Empty Jar. The love that Lena & Nate had was beautiful and unbreakable, it is truly a love story. Their love shines so much as you read, I truly hope that everyone reads this book it truly is a beautiful love story. Michelle you have definitely out done yourself, I wish I could give more then 5 stars.

I had put off reading this book because I wasn't sure how I felt about this subject matter. I kept seeing 5++ star reviews and grew more and more curious to find out what about this was so captivating.

In all honesty, I was expecting to read an awkward story about a less than favorable love between two siblings. I anticipated to feel extremely uncomfortable, and judgemental. What I didn't expect was to read about two beautiful souls, hurting so much, feeling so alone. Finding solace in one another, Finding peace and happiness in an otherwise life of unfair circumstances and abandonment. I never once felt awkward, or passed any kind of judgement, or even thought their love or feelings were even wrong. I wanted them to find love with eachother, I was routing for them from the first chapter. And I'm not even ashamed to admit it.

The pain and loneliness that both Lochan and Maya experience is so heartbreaking. Their maturity in taking responsibility for their younger siblings was so admiring, and touched me deeply. The fact that they kept on drumming their own beat, doing whatever it took to keep eachother to any kind of normalcy was breathtaking and inspiring. But they can't ignore their own needs. They are so desperate to love and be loved, I ached for them. They are so dependent on eachother, they desperately need one another to survive their circumstances. These weren't two siblings who were screwed up in the way you would assume, they were teenagers who had to learn to be parents, partners, and shared such a strong emotional connection through their responsibilities. They comforted eachother in their anxieties and worries of life. They trusted eachother completely and unquestionably.

Their intimacy was intense without even being graphic. I felt their emotions, their bond, their desires. Their kisses were igniting, their passion was pure and innocent.

I felt so protective for them. I wanted them to escape their reality, to a place where they could be open and affectionate, and not feel judged or scared.

The ending, oh the ending. I knew in the back of my mind what was going to happen. Lochan is truly one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful characters I've ever read about. His natural instinct to protect his family is so endearing and touching. His pain was my pain, his fears were my fears.

I am so happy I read this book. My heart is still aching from it, and it will anytime I see the title, or the names Maya and Lochan.

Im not sure what I can I tell you about Ill Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson other than the minute you can get your hands on this book please do so but Im going to try and tell you why I loved this beautiful story.

Ive been anxiously awaiting the next project from Ms. Nelson if you know me, you know that The Sky is Everywhere is among my absolute all-time favorite reads, so saying I had high expectations for this story would be an understatement.

Ill Give You The Sun is told from two different perspectives and two different timelines. We first meet Noah at the young age of 13 hes struggling with who he is and who he thinks he should be. He doesnt fit into the space in his family that he feels he should not like his sister who is outgoing and sporty and normal. Art is his solace and something that allows him to form a bond with his mother, something that he doesnt have with his father. But hes also harboring a secret that he is afraid to talk about. The only thing pushing him through his days right now is the promise of attending the local private art school.

When chapter two rolls around you will already be hanging on every word Jandy has put on the page. But it pushes us ahead 3 years, and we meet Jude the sister. Shes not just any sister though, she and Noah are twins. And at the age of 16 they are shells of the people they were when we first met them at age 13. Jude, struggling in art school and with life in general has taken to hiding behind oversized clothing, living by the wisdom her dead grandmother left her in her bible and carrying on conversations with her dead relatives.

As the story unravels with each chapter  we learn about devastating losses, broken hearts, broken promises, jealousy and anger. But we also get to experience moments of love and laughter and hope and healing.

As usual the characters that Nelson has created jump off the pages they are so complex and layered and the words weave back and forth culminating in such a rich and brilliantly compelling story.

And the words!! I wanted to roll around in the beautiful, amazing words!

All right then. He walks up to me, close, so close I could reach up and trace his scars with my finger if I wanted to. Theyre like two hastily sewn seams. And I see that his brown eye has a splash of green in it and the green one a splash of brown. Like Cezanne painted them. Impressionist eyes. And his lashes are black as soot, exquisite. Hes so close I could run my fingers through his shiny , tangly brown hair, run them across the faint spidery wrinkles that fan out at his temples, across the dark worrying shadows beneath. Across his red satiny lips. I don't think other guys lips are this red. And I know their faces aren't this colorful, this vivid, this lived in, this superbly off-kilter, this brimming with dark, unpredictable music. 

There is so much I want to say about this story but I don't want to say too much so Ill stop here. If you're looking for an emotional, passionate, thought-provoking story, this is the book for you. Definitely put this on your must-have list for the fall!

I was captivated from the very beginning.  This love story is inspiring, powerfully raw, very emotional, and breathtakingly romantic.  Noah is gorgeous, sinfully sexy, and incredibly charismatic.  Kristin is beautiful, intelligent, and a perfect combination of sweet and strong;  I just loved her. From their very first encounter I could feel the irresistible pull they had to one another.  They share a soul-deep connection that cant be ignored no matter how hard they try to resist. The heart wants what it wants. Their banter is witty and they spar so well with each other -- I was laughing out loud often. Their chemistry is electric and the intimate scenes are passionate and incredibly sexy. They both have scars that run soul deep and witnessing them fall in love was magical. Witnessing what they go through to be together and how they fight for one another was beautifully moving.  This book is a powerful love story of hope and finding true love.  The raw emotions they deal with are palpable and I could feel every emotion they experienced. The storyline and all the twists and turns is beautifully written.  I loved the secondary characters as well. The inspiring moments with family and friends stole my heart.  I loved the strong portrayal of unconditional love and support that is so beautifully woven throughout this story. Through it all I absolutely loved every second and I didn't want this epic story to end.  I highly recommend reading this book!

Marrying Mr. English Part 2 is the continuation of Thomas and Eleanora English's beautiful and amazing love story.  It picks up precisely where book 1 left off and further brings to light the unexpected depth of love their swift joining brings as well as the trials and tribulations they must endure once Toms grandfather cuts him off.  To be honest as I read Tom and Eleanoras story, I kept waiting for the explosion of anger in frustration of the circumstances they had been left in because of his seemingly unfeeling and uncaring grandfather.  But no matter what Tom and Eleanora struggled to overcome, they always came together finding solace in each others love and each others arms.  Despite the limited time they have shared together, the unwavering love and commitment between them is absolutely awe-inspiring.  There is an utterly magical connection their two souls find in one another that once intertwined it fights to survive anything that comes their way.  As it quickly became evident in the first part of their story, these two souls were incomplete until they found one another with their lives and their hearts being quickly drawn together by love.

As I stated in my review of part 1 of this wonderful story, having gotten to know Tom (and Eleanora) makes it truly obvious why each of the English brothers stole my heart as well.  Tom has an unquestionable debonair quality which continuously makes him considerate of Eleanora's needs. It is truly evident throughout this entire amazing series that once an English man's heart finds its true soulmate, there is nothing he won't do for her, and he will fight for her until the end of time.  As for Eleanora, she absolutely exudes elegance and poise in spite of her upbringing and the background in which she was raised making this couple the perfect match.

It seems as though with every addition to Katy Regnery's repertoire of incredible characters and stories, she outdoes herself each and every time, and Marrying Mr. English is yet another example of what an accomplished and outstanding storyteller she is.  Katy continues to bring us fantastic characters, and I am ecstatic and forevermore appreciative of being able to be a part of her journey by reading them as they take me on a journey as well.  Every one of her stories leaves me filled with emotion and tears of happiness for the everlasting love her characters always find.  Katy is the queen of happily ever after.  No matter what struggles her couples go through, they always find their peace and heart-fluttering love in the end.  Truly magical and outstanding!

WOW. THIS BOOK. Wow. Gahhh my emotions!!!!!!This absolutely amazing, perfect and flawless wonder of a book. Right now I have no words. Right now I am totally speechless and emotional while I am writing this review because till is everything. It is a book that grips you. It is a book that takes your soul to a place so indescribable. It is a book with characters that touch you more than you know. I was already a fan of this series after reading Flow and Grip. When Kennedy Ryan said, she is writing another book on Grip and Bristol, I was so ecstatic that I jumped lol. Funny, right? Because these two characters just captivate me. Their lives. Their relationship. Their love. Just captures me. Still is the continuation of Grip and Bristol's epic love story and I was drawn in. It is an phenomenal book that magnetize your soul. It is a soul crashing and heart warming story line that cause a significant cosmic blast to your whole being. What can I say, I was shaken to the core. I was, for one moment, engulfed in the essence of the story.

Love is endless. Love is timeless. Love is true. Love is profound and penetrates your soul. Love is a tantalizing essence that moves you. Love is honest and real. Still is the definition of this and embodies it. Such a powerful and beautiful book. Such a magnificent book that rips your heart. Still took my breath away. It climbed in my heart and settled deep inside. It channeled every bit of emotion out of me and I was left numb. Still pulled a lot of punches and pulled all my strings until I succumbed. This story was not a simple love story. No, It was a whole bazooka of epic that sneaked into my heart. Intense. Sexy. Real. Brilliantly prolific. Heart Wrenching. Poetic. Liberating. Still is a love story that holds you prisoner from the beginning till the end. I laughed. I smiled. I cried so h=much that my tears wet my pillow. I swooned. All these feels brought me to my knees. I really needed a book like this. I really needed a book that made me FEEL. And Still delivered.

Kennedy Ryan's writing is inspiring. Her words alone holds so much value that strikes a cord somewhere deep. Poetic. Enchanting. Graceful. Kennedy Ryan wrote Still with so much realism and honesty. She wrote a book that challenges you and makes you think. This is not a book about race. No it is a fulfilling love story that speaks about prejudice and judgement in the communities we live in. It had a special message that will open your eyes and make you embrace it. Kennedy Ryan definitely delivered a representation of something we all face so artistically and elegant.

Grip and Bristol have a love so unconditional and genuine. I felt their passion. I felt their intensity. I felt every fiber of their emotions that it resonated in my heart. As an interracial couple, they faced trials and tribulations but they came up stronger as a unit. They make you believe in the power of true love. My heart burst with so much joy and happiness because Grip and Bristol embodies strength and adversity. Sensual. Primal. Everlasting. Heart breaking. Grip and Bristol that transcends. Bristol is still the woman who stands up for the people she loves. She is the woman care , love and loyalty for her family. I loved her more in Still. Grip still makes me swoon. Grip still takes my heart. Protective. Possessive. He still has the power to still make me swoon.

Still definitely deserves more than 5 stars because this love story was irresistible, alluring and set my soul ablaze. You need to read this book. It will stroke every morsel of your entire self.

So much love, so much pain but also so much hope...

"There were small signs from the angels, letting us know they were always close by, watching over us."
