Cait is my kind of girl!

I really enjoyed this book. Started off fast, and held my interest from the beginning. Characters and situations seemed plausible, and I thought the description of Oak Creek Canyon was good, as I've been there. Just the kind of driver a girl needs! Graphic yet tasteful 'romance' that appealed to both my sensitive and erotic sides. I could relate to Cait and I got into the adventure, looking forward to the next 'alone time' with Bill. Ripe for a sequel, and I have my fingers crossed. Will recommend to my friends, but I may blush. I'm not usually a fan of westerns, but this would make any woman want to go for a stagecoach ride.

I am so addicted! The Iron Daughter flew by really quick, I would almost be convinced I hadn't read it if it hadn't been for the emotional roller-coaster ride.

I was more connected to the characters this time around. I also really liked a character I wouldn't have dreamed I would like (and they turned out to be awesome). At one point I even cried and I teared up in a whole lot of places as well. This book really played with my poor emotions and I'm glad, because it just goes to show how much I like the story and cast (my favourite is still Cait Sith and Puck).

Last time I took back what I said about disliking Meghan, but...Meghan has got to shape up. She was so whiny! It was like her own pity party throughout the story and I just wanted to strangle her! Get over it already or do something about it! Ash had his pitiful moments as well and I felt like encasing him in ice and letting him stew! In the end, Meghan stepped up and displayed how awesome she really is. Yes, I like and dislike her (and Ash) and I can almost forget about her whininess...almost.

That ending though! I did not see that coming and I applaud them for finally stepping up. *cue applause* Now I'm extremely curious to see what happen in book 3! If this one is even better than the first, I can only imagine how The Iron Queen will be!

Bring on the iron fey!

First I plan on starting all my reviews like this but you're either going to love it or hate it and I Loved it! I agree with everyone that Cam is just too yummy sounding! His character was such an awesome guy that it was almost sickening how great he was for Avery, this was such a great YA book. I could not stop smiling and sighing, eventually Avery and Cam start "dating" and that's when the stories about Avery and Cam's past/future start to come out and you get to know both characters. The sex between them was good when it finally happened and the ending was satisfying enough for me.  I hope the writer writes about the other friends in this book, for some reason I want to know about Ollie and Brit and see how Avery & Cam are doing.
Last, why only 4 stars? This story was told from Avery's POV only, I'm not a big fan of that but this was still a good story even though you don't get to read Cam's thoughts.

I need to come clean and admit that I spent my entire February 2017 binge reading the Alabama Summer Series- for the first time. With that being said, I feel a bit selfish because I didn't have to suffer for however long the rest of yall did with the highly anticipated release of CJ & Rileys story. I dove straight into it after finishing When I Fall and JEEEEEESSSSSUUUUUUUSSSSSS.

To those of you that have suffered (waited) in silence, I bow my hat to you. BUT! I promise that this book is worth the wait. CJ Tully helped cure me (very temporarily) of my loneliness since Man Friend is gone he stepped up and filled my heart with his charm, caring demeanor, appreciation, how complimentary he is, and how courteous he is! Seriously, this man is the perfect example of how a southern gentleman should act.

**CJ Tully is my top book boyfriend of 2017- for now.
Itll take A LOT to beat him out though, just sayin.**

Ok, now that Ive swooned enough over CJ lets focus on the actual story and talk about Riley! I mean, she was half of the reason this book was so enjoyable!

First things first! This fabulous story is a S.T.A.N.D. A.L.O.N.E. novel! I mean, I highly recommend reading the other books in this series but if you haven't and are impatient to board the Tully Train, hes good to go on his own. (You still need to go back and read the first few books. K? K!)

Riley was fun, a tad shy, and extremely quirky! She and CJ met under interesting circumstances, their friendship continued to develop under more interesting circumstances, all while Riley tried her hardest to hide her true feelings. Unfortunately, she has the worst poker face in the history of Ruxton, Alabama and CJ was proud to call her out when she would get distracted. I felt her emotions toward CJ grow more and more after every interaction. I was cheering for her to spill her true feelings every time she let a little more of her guard down. Trust me, I cheered HARD.

I truly love this world Daniels has created. I regret not starting it sooner but at the same time, a binge read was the perfect introduction to this fun bunch! I love how this group continues to grow and develop as the series progresses, including snippets of our favorite characters from previous books. Keep them coming, J!

The author did a wonderful job portraying a 15 year old girl and making me care about her and her future.  The story starts off with a strange occurrence, and you get to help unravel the mystery and its consequences through Cat's eyes.  It made me wonder what I would do if I was her.  I hope he writes more books sharing her journey through a strange, new world (so to speak). I can't wait to see where things go for her!

Jay Mclean did it again! She has a special way of making you feel all of the emotions! She made me laugh, cry, and sit there just staring at my Kindle contemplating what I had just read because it was so beautiful. Im so glad we got to see a little bit of all of the Preston Punks, and even little bits of the More Than gang. She made me fall even more in love with the whole Preston bunch, and I cant wait to read the rest of the books. I wish I had Jays writing skills so that I could adequately express my love for these books, but you will just have to trust me when I say you NEED to buy this book and go read it now! You won't regret it!

Camila cracks me up! She knows who she is and owns it (albeit in a different form than her real one!) I love all of her costume changes and interactions with the guys. This book is a really fun take on Jin and fae mythology. After being stuck in a clock for 2 years, Camila is rescued by 4 men who turn out to be fae and becomes their genie. Meaning she can grant them things and will stay with them until their quest is complete. She just doesn't get why the guys freak out when she changes forms . . .

Be warned - MAJOR cliffhanger! My only complaint is that this book is too short, but it's great for a quick evening read!

This book was the perfect blend of YA, drama, magic, mystery, and romance! I'm pretty confident that I'm in love with a certain hunter, but there's a little part of me that doesn't want to totally give up on a certain prince too (maybe that's not right of me, but I can't help it lol). Great world-building and lots of action! Enjoyed this book a lot!

Well Brittainy has stolen my heart once again...just when I think she can't top the last book, she does! I'm not even sure where to start with this book...Oh Graham...you poor misunderstood and reclusive soul. And Lucy...everyone needs someone like her; willing to put her own life on hold to be someone's savior. I love that this book was a slow burn and not an insta-love kind of romance. Despite the fact that you could sense the course and direction of the story there were still those little "ah ha" moments that kept you hooked. Thank you Brittainy for creating more unforgettable and poignant characters. Maktub; and it is wonderful :) "She became my strength when I could no longer be brave."

YYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA **wild happy dance clap** I am so excited to read about Charlie  and Clink too  but mainly Charlie!
I want to know all her secrets and Im so glad I do.
I said that the last book was my favourite but this one came firing out of the gates and overtook easily! Im not one for spoilers but there was one that took me by surprise but as soon as that was revealed  I was like I KNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW ITTTTTTTTTTTTTT!
I love the subtly of hints given along the way. The other thing I really like about this story is the relationship development between Clink and Charlie. What started out as fun and uncertain has forged into a great love and one of strength. Even when it all goes down and the cards that were held firmly to Charlies chest, they still have a love that is unbreakable. Im just not sure how Clink is going to recover or Charlie for that matter.
I want to give Ms Oakes a huge high five. She has nailed this series for me. Drama, tension, love, off the charts hot sex and complex threads of life threaded throughout. This ticks all my boxes and I am eager for book five.
The tie in with Lil and Jay is perfection. Lil might be young but she is very wise for her years and shes a kicka** character. Love strong women personas.
I will admit, there was a bit of a Hulk  Smash moment at the end of this book but that reflects more on me, than Ms Oakes.
I was kindly provided with a free copy of this book from the author to provide an honest review. Receiving this book for free did not influence my opinion nor review.

I love Naya!!! She is one confident, bad ass chic!! I want to be her! She is loving, stands up for what is right and protects those who Need it most. All the shenanigans she finds herself in keep me on the edge of my seat. What a world she lives in. Its not unlike our own in the political world. We could learn a lot from this half shifter/ mage!

I have been reading my series of books By Author K.M. Golland, and I own book 1 and 2 and I got Book 3 and this book from the Library, I intend to buy them but they need to be signed so they match my first 2. I booked out the whole set so my signed books stayed perfect!

#Bookaholic that I am - I hate to bend my Signed books.

So this book is about one of my favourite characters in this series BBF Carly.
Alexis is a great character, but if I had a #BookBestFriend come to life I would want Carly.

I loved this line:

Have you ever thought you knew exactly where your life was headed? - Once upon a time I did think this but then live tends to throw curveballs ( and I have been playing in the major leagues of Curveballs lately!)

Carly is a secretary/Admin at a school (Funny so was I once upon a time) My school was full of teenagers, but oh how I laughed at the things the kids got up to, and this is what I like about Ms Gollands writing, its down to earth, believable and relatable so the reader can see themselves in the characters on the pages.

Then there is DIK - oh my, don't we all wish we had a DIK ( well I do have my own - but he isn't a firefighter  - oh swoon!)
Firefighter-Derek. Drop-dead-gorgeous-Derek. Brown-eyed-dirty-talking-cocky-as-hell-Derek. Their banter between each other kept me smiling and turning the pages.

There was one part in the book when I got very frightened, I thought oh no Ms Golland please don't make me cry again! ( She has had me sobbing in the other books)

But I can thankfully say that by the time I had finished the book I was full of smiles and fluffy marshmallow feelings. #ohthefeels

I think I have enjoyed this book the best from the series, I guess because both characters are more down to earth and funny. I think I had a smile on my face for most of the book.

Anyway - I am saving for either a ticket to Aussie again for more signed books - or maybe I can tempt Ms Golland to visit good ol Southland! Her books are in the library after all :D

I'll be honest - I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed this book.  When the book starts out, Chloe is the typical bratty, mouthy teenager.  She's hurt, confused, and scared when her parents get divorced and she's forced to move from a big city to a small, close-knit town.

She tries everything to fit in but nothing works.  She eventually makes friend with a "goth" girl, Jenna, and a boy, Ryan, who is very confusing.  One second Ryan is nice to her, the next he's being a jerk.

Chloe is strong, I'll say that much.  She's attacked by the kids in school, attacked by wolves, and hangs in there. I really love her development throughout the story.  She grows up as the pages turn and by the end, that bratty teenager is gone, replaced by a young woman who has seen and done things that most wouldn't be able to handle.

This book is full of secrets.  The town has a big one.  Chloe has one that she's struggled with for years.  Ryan has one he's trying to run away from.  Jenna has one that she embraces but still keeps hidden.  All of their secrets make this book a page turner!

I look forward to reading a lot more from Michelle Clay!

OH. MY. GOD. This is such a good book! I can't even describe my feels. Lol. I love every single page of it. I need the paperback. I need to inhale the scent of the book. Eeek. Jared is soooo hot! Hahaha! Yes, I'm fangirling over the guy again. :p

I love everything about Maddie. She has some faults but hey, no one is perfect. I love she plays guitar, piano, violin, and clarinet. It was one of my dream to know how to play guitar. So, a heroine that could play guitar, a Strat for that matter, OMG. Major points! And of course she's in a ROCK BAND with hotties! Hello, Jared. :p

I love music based book. Especially rock bands. I love this More Than Music and I really believe Elizabeth Briggs did a wonderful job with this one! :)

I am so hoping for more! And!!! For all my friends who love good smut, you won't be disappointed with this one. ;) Briggs did it right. :p

Team Jared x Maddie! :)

While it wasn't one of my favorite books ever I really enjoyed Girls Like Us! Triss and Hailey's adventures are hilarious and their friendship is amazing!

Thank you so much to the author for a copy before it comes out, I really do appreciate it!

So I have been a fan of Amy McNulty and her work for a few years. Since I have read Never Veil, I have just loved all of her writing so I am so glad there is yet another YA series for me to love because reading YA is definitely my addiction... I just can't help myself! I had no idea what to expect with this book, but I am very pleased overall. I have never heard of a vampire vs merfolk story so that alone caught my attention. I am one who enjoys vampires... have never read too much about merfolk, but I do like the direction this series seems to be going. I devoured this first installment quickly, and I look forward to more in the future.

Ember and Ivy are new step sisters. Their parents have married quickly and now they are family. They seem to get along well. And then there is a new guy in town who catches both their attention...and someone else who also does. All of the sudden, there are cute guys who want the attention of the sisters. And it is about to get a lot more complicated when they find out who the guys are and what they intend for the sisters to do for them. Just... wow. I was enthralled this whole time because I have to admit, I liked all of the characters for various reasons. Ember is so sweet and I could relate to her wanting to fit in. Ivy is strong willed, and I could also relate because I can be the same way at times. I love how I could connect with both sisters for different reasons. I don't find that too much in books so I was even happier to find that here. Even though there are two main guys, I have to admit I was more of a team Calder person. I don't want to spoil it, but he is my favorite and I want him to be the one who has a happiest ending. There was just a spark about him... I just really adore Calder the most of all the male characters so I am biased when it comes to him. McNulty does a superb job with this speculative fiction, raising questions about allegiance and making the choices best for yourself or those you care about. It will grip you and keep you wanting more.

I am looking forward to seeing what will happen next. I just adored this book, and I am sad that I read it so fast but I needed to know what was going to happen. With some many questions and events about to happen, the next book will surely be even better than the first. Of course, I am going to remain loyal to Calder so I can't wait to see how this whole saga will play out!

Caitlyn is a wereleopard in a strange country trying to stay under the radar of the local packs. Werewolves did not like her kind and though she was there to support her newly rescued half-brother Colin, she knew better then to announce her presence to his people. Discovered in her brothers home by none other than her stepfather, weak and not at the top of her game, she is taken by surprise and finds herself injured and imprisoned. She finds an unlikely ally in Dougal, Alpha to her brother and his pack. The demands of his clan put him at odds with his growing feelings for Caitlyn and the knowledge that not all is right in his pack. Dougal cannot help but play the role of protector and needed to prove to himself and his clan that he had the knowledge and heart to lead them. Would his pack support their new Alpha or would he and Caitlyn both not survive his first true test as leader?

I really enjoyed this book, my first read from this author. Reading this as part of the Shifters Bundle I did not realize it was the fourth in a series. I believe reading the first stories would have provided more context and details but this story was readable as a stand-alone as well. Caitlyn was independent and strong though her history with Colins father also revealed her vulnerability. Dougal made a wonderful alpha as he struggled with his own honor and protective streak to wrestle with the needs of his clan and the woman he knew was going to mean everything to him. Though a quick read, the story packed everything I wanted  suspense, chivalry and love for ones mate and family. I loved the easy writing style and a refreshing take on the shifter storyline. Im definitely a fan and will be looking for more books in the series!
