I feel like i am coming down off of some kind of book high haha! I just finished it and i couldn't log on here fast enough to write my review while everything is still so fresh in my mind!!!!!!! OMG this is by far the best book i have ever read! Better than Captive in the Dark! The whole book had me in a whirlwind of emotion..I felt like i didn't take a breath until the last page, then i was like ahhhhhh okayyyy!!! How do authors do that?!?!?!!? lol! i love it! It had been a while since i read captive in the dark, so i was a little confused when i started reading Seduced because i was thinking..wait a minute, how did she get into a psych hospital? did i forget something? and then when she started talking about caleb being dead, i seriously considered putting the book away and re reading captive in the dark to refresh my memory bc i had obviously forgotten some very important parts, but a friend of mine said "no, don't do that, just keep reading, it will start to make sense in a little while" lol! I was sucked into this book, obsessed, and could not put it down. Just like Livvie, i hated caleb one minute, loved him the next. Every twist and turn in this book had me thinking one minute caleb would steal away w/his kitten and be gone, the next im thinking "he's really going to do this, he's really going to sell her to these freaks?!?!?" I just kept keeping hope that he would change his mind or something would happen, but every sick scene that played out kept proving me wrong. I feel so much emotion for poor Caleb, going through what no human should ever go through in his life, and yet he finds a light, a miracle among such corruption, he finds Livvie. This is such a beautiful story if you can get past the disturbing sexual scenes of the very cruel and real world of human trafficking. It is a sick, sick feeling to know this is a real thing, and is happening presently in our world. As im sure the author wanted, it takes living through the bad, to appreciate the good. To understand how Livvie could love caleb, she had to live through just a little bit of what he had been living in his entire life, to overlook what he had done to her, it's all he had ever been taught to do. I think he loved her long before he ever said it to her. Livvie is such a strong character, to live through that, i can't even begin to imagine what i would do..but as stated in the book, the "fight or flight" sense takes over..and she decided to fight for her life, doing whatever it takes to stay alive, not giving up on Caleb, taking the flicker of emotion she would get from him and knowing it meant something more, knowing he couldn't say it, or act on it, but knowing it was there....that's what kept her holding onto hope that he would protect her from the imminent world of slavery that was about to be her life. I just cant stop writing...this book was just amazing. I will be thinking about it for days....

EPIC read. All the feels. Enigmatic. Powerful. I haven't been so much captivated and consumed by a story. L.H. Cosway did it and it was tremendous and majestic, painted by a melancholic and poetic mood. **You can read this book like a stand alone, but I recommend to read all the series to get the whole picture.**

This time, this is the story of Alexis Clark and Oliver King, and get ready for a tsunami of emotions, because you're gonna feel a LOT!

Alexis is a young woman hired as Oliver King's assistant. Sassy, bold, funny, caring, she's all I like in a character and so refreshing! This is the one you want immediately to be friends with. This woman is golden, sharp when she had to be, with a big heart. When she met Olivier, they clicked, with an intense and strong connection, like they could read each other. Tempted by her boss?? Definitely!

Oliver ... Where do I start? There is so much to say, so I'll try to be quick! Peeling all the layers of his personality was so compelling. I was mesmerized. Handsome, bossy, caring and with a successful career, he enjoyed being on top of the world, managing big investments. And the way he talks, with his British phlegm  sigh  Im in love. For a Man who seemed so self-confident, his vulnerable side really moved me.(especially with his mother)

About their undeniable chemistry? Just mind-blowing!!! It felt so natural and were complementing each other. Great team at work, but also as friends, with a heavy sexual tension and a lot of teasing. Even if their relationship started with a misunderstanding, that makes me laugh each time I think about it, all bring them closer. For once, Olivier felt attracted by Alexis, a breath of fresh air, with a no filter kinda girl, who completely captured his heart. She was drawn into him, and she knew that once they started to be more than friends, there would be no turning back, and holy guacamole, it was intoxicating!

The feels??? I went through a range of emotions, I was so experiencing, living their Journey! Straight to the heart and straight to the guts! Each moment was precious; from the sweetest, to the hottest and especially to the hardest ones, when you want to grab your pillow and crawl into your bed, and just crying because it was so hurting. The author could write characters with so much passion, heart and making them so interesting and compelling.

I don't want to post any spoiler in here because you should to read this magnificent tale, about love, loss, second chances that gonna rip and warm your heart for sure. Reading this story reminds me why I love to read; to live someones else journey and to travel into their world. King of Hearts is a must read and one of my best reads for 2015! Book Hangover alert!

This book is going to forever change the way I look at a true Nerd! Why you ask? Because Andrew has broken through all the stereotypes I had of men like him. Dont get me wrong, he fits the bill physically with the hair and the glasses, being a math genius, hes got a box of calculators for god sake, and a sense of humor that just takes a little while to get used toonce over that hurdle, youll appreciate as much as I did Andrew and all his little nuances.

Then theres Sadie who is a girl that has a tough outer shell that she doesnt really want to let people in. Shes got her circle of friends and thats itno new entriesuntil Andrew that is. What starts as an almost adversarial relationship, Sadie has to train Andrew on the fountain area of the restaurant they both work at, eventually turns into a friendship which leads to romance.with lots of snarky comments, baseball, whipped cream, ice cream and cough syrup in-between.

I can honestly say that from the first page I was drawn into each of our H/h lives. I felt Andrews awkwardness and his need to be on his own without his helicopter mom and an incident that hes trying to get a fresh start fromand let me tell you, this incident made me snort laugh!!! Sadie on the other hand has some secrets shes hiding that really explain how she became who she is and my heart hurt a little for herbut once Andrew enters her realm, all bets are off!

The writing in this book is pure Meghan Quinn gold! All the characters are so well developed including the secondary ones like Smillythat girlwow, along with the storyline. It all fits together so perfectly and once I got into the story, I didn't want to put it down. This is yet another reason why Meghan Quinn is an automatic 1-click author for meshes never let me down!

Hands down the BEST read of the year! As an avid book worm I am always on the hunt for the next great read of my life and let me tell you this is it! From the very first chapter this book entrances you into the world of Elliot. I felt connected to him from the beginning and Robin does a fantastic job of showing you who he is throughout the story. His character grows and becomes so strong throughout the plot & I felt like I was riding the waves with his every up hill battle. (I won't give too much away as I hate spoilers) but this book will leave you on the edge of your seat, biting your nails at what the next page will bring. I could not put it down & now I am left waiting for the 2nd installment of this series. These characters will stay with your forever and I found myself questioning our world after finishing this book. It is thought provoking & truthfully we can take so much of her words and apply them to our every day life. Elliot is funny, smart, witty & such a great underdog rising in Specious. You will be rooting for him from the get go and will fall in love with his character as I have. When I say buy this book, I mean go BUY it right now!!!! You have no idea what your missing!

Wow! Just wow! I cannot possibly say enough great things about this book!! Seriously, I connected so hard with this book. It went straight to my heart, just like a book should. I went on a Bender while I was reading it! I am so in love with this book and with Camden! I seriously can't get it out of my head. It was the perfect journey that I feel EVERY book should be, but most rarely are. It took me on highs and lows that I definitely didn't expect but I loved every minute of it. I finished reading this book two days ago and I am officially in the middle of a book hangover! I can't move on. I want more! More of Camden and Dodger. I can't forget about Dodger. I liked how the main characters were enemies who hated each other at first, but they really only hated each other because they liked each other. Keegan is a strong woman who only wants to be independent because she feels like she's had to be the mom to her little sister for years and she's finally ready to put her foot down and make her mom be the parent. So, she moves out of her mother's house. This was the beginning of a headstrong and stubborn woman who I greatly admire! Keegan isn't skinny, but she's not fat either. I love how the gym aspect played into the story. That can be a touchy subject for a lot of people and it has to be handled with care, and Stacy was able to do that. AND we get one of the hottest scenes in the book there!!! Oh, did I mention that this book is steamy? It is! There were some of the hottest sex scenes I've read in this book and I loved it! I wish everyone could read and fall in love with this book like I did! Stacy, you definitely hit this one out of the park!!! <3

I'm going to make this my shortest review ever. Ready?  I really liked this book.  THE END

I'm making the review that short because I wanted to share with you something really fun I did while reading this book.  I cracked open DARKER DAYS, poured an adult beverage that included seven olives, and tweeted my reactions in real time. It's like a live action review.  Something I've come to call Tweading. (Clever, right?!?)  It may be too late to see all the goodness that went down on the #DarkerDays hashtag, but here's a recap of most of the tweets I sent out to the universe.  Hope you enjoy!

 I'm excited to finally have the chance to read it! Jus writes a mean (aka really nice) book and I have HIGH expectations.

 My hope is that I <3 Jessie Darker as much as I love Deznee Cross bc Dez is one of my fav heroines EVER.Tell me I will, Twitter!

 Sassy heroine? Check. Zombie action scene? Check. Tuna Bagel? Check. All this in one chapter. This is gonna be good.

 LMAO! Watch the next tweet for a perfect example of why I love Jus like I do. Hilarious quote is hilarious.

 "Hey, show me a guy who can take down a dirt demon without [CENSORED}ing himself and I'll smack his [CENSORED} and let him take me to prom"

 YOU GUYS! This "mystery" is going to make for a great story!! I might already adore Lukas & his shaggy hair.

 Chapter 3 started confusing my pea sized brain but Jus's brilliant use of dialogue in that scene made it come together nicely!

 Just finished up chapter 4, or what I'm referring to as, "The one with sexual tension and [CENSORED]"

 Oh, and WHO IS DAMIEN? (That's a rhetorical question. Please don't tell me.)

 OK. Not sure if this is the reaction I *should* be having, but angry Lukas is HOT.

 Oh! Here it comes...here it COMES! They're going to...oh. Never mind.

 Chapter Seven requires me to replenish my glass with a bunch of cold water. BRB

 Oh, ZING! Thanks for prepping me for start of chapter 8, guys. GEEZ. I'm officially a Lukas girl.

 Oh, SNAP! Now whatcha going to do, Jessie? I didn't see that coming. AT ALL.

 A common theme in Jus's books: an authentic teen voice. Maybe Jus IS a teen & has her neighbor pose for her at signings?

 Yesterday, I read through chapter 10, which ended with a loud roar spliting the air. I have a theory about that roar

 I'm betting that Jessie & Lukas have stumbled into the 100 Acre Wood and Winnie the Pooh is lodged firmly in Rabbit's hole

 I was wrong about the Pooh theory. But I DID come up with another theory about the person with the shoes & Kit-Kats!

 AHA! The mystery of "Who is Damien?" has been solved. But, but, but...WHY? Nevermind. Mystery is still in effect

 BAHAHAHAAHA! Officer Fife, er, I mean Barnes is killing me right now! "So about dinner...Clothing is optional."

 I just realized who Lukas reminds me of, guys! He reminds me of KALE! It's the whole sweetly naive thing, I think. <3

 Oh! Oh! Oh! I totally want to see Jessie and Lukas do some courting! And some kissing. With their tongues.

 WHAT is up with all these texts from [INSERT BOY NAME HERE]! Something is UP.

 WHOA! There have been a few twists in Darker Days but the one at the end of chapter 27 has me open mouthed and speechless.

 I am STRESSED OUT.

 Darker Days plays out like a movie and these last few chapters have had me on the edge of my seat. *pops popcorn*

 Darker Days was AWESOME. I want more!

Listen. If you're a fan of Jus's Denazen series, you're going to love Darker Days. It's an exciting start to what has the high probability of being a really great series. Lots of paranormal elements, swoony romance and a kick arse heroine. What's not to love, really?

And, hey! What do you think of this idea of Tweading? Should I do more of it or is it L-A-M-E? Cause I had a blast and would totally do it again if anyone is interested in reading along with me sometime.

So much for the shortest review ever. *giggle*

Thank you, KA. Just thank you. You have spoiled me and ruined me for all others. Anyone wondering if they should buy this book (and I'm guessing if you have doubts this is your first time buying a Kristen Ashley book) be warned. You will get invested in EVERYONE. The H will be your new book boyfriend. The h will make you want to try something different. If you're trying to figure out who you are, be warned. You'll want to be like all of the h's but since they're all so different and unique you may have to start making lists. Proficiency in Excel will be useful. You'll get ridiculously invested in side characters lives and happy endings. If there is young love involving any of the main characters kids, be prepared to root for them and hope to see more of them if they're in a series. I mean I get just as invested in their relationships as I do the main characters. It's like getting 5 flushed out, full blown love stories in one book. I don't know how she does it without losing the readers in the process but it is amazing. I will admit to purging on books. I'll read tons and will go through various genre fazes, but after a while I just miss feeling full. Sometimes I need a beautiful book hangover. Obviously, I'm in the middle of one right now and I'm a bit sad that there will only be one more book in this series but I won't lose hope cause I know there's a chance they'll pop up in another series to give me a smile. Like, say my favorite architect. :) Anywho, if you read my entire review you may as well read Soaring because really everyone should include meat and potatoes (or tofu if that's your inclination, to each her own) in their diet to keep them healthy and keep them sane. And in my case, keep them hopeful. :) Now please excuse me I was in the middle of revisiting the 'Burg when I realized this was finally in my library and I have a repeat book hangover to look forward to.

I have the biggest book hangover!!! I don't know if I can't wait to November to find out what happens.

this book was pure awesomeness!!! it was everything you expect of a Rose Gardner book. I love Rose and Neely Kate's friendship and is one of my favorite parts of the book. To see Rose just being their for her friend as she is going through a hard time was wonderful. I think they should open up their own private detective agency if the landscaping business doesn't work!

This book just brought out so much emotions and that cliffhanger had me screaming, crying and wanting to throw my kindle. I can't wait to read more and to see how this whole JR solution will get resolved.

This is not a stand alone novel and you will need to read the other books in the series before reading this one!

This is simply one of the best books I have read in while. It gave me all the right feels, had me laughing at the banter between Jake and Addie. I just couldn't help but love the characters and the relationship that formed between them. I couldn't put Listen To Me down!

I have been a fan of this author since her first book Come Away With Me come out a few years ago. And I hate to admit but I hadnt read one of her books in a while. After picking this one up I remember why I love her writing so much. She writes strong women that just haven't found the love they long for yet. She creates heroins that every women can relate to, and hunky men that we all long to be with.

I loved Listen To Me and I cant wait for more from the supporting characters. All of Addies friends in the book are going to have great stories to tell, I just know it. Such a great start to a new AMAZING Proby Series!! Pick it up today you will not be sorry!

I preordered this book and stayed up Thursday night until it released, thinking I would read a chapter or two to get started on a great reading weekend. Its now Friday morning, I haven't slept at all, but I couldn't stop reading about Nate and Tenn until I finished Chaps  its that addictive!

I immediately connected with Tenn because I know guys like him (or I *want* to know guys like him :) ). Hes not just going through the motions. He really wants to make something out of his life, and I was cheering him on all the way. Nates distance (which is really his self-protection mode) is beautifully written and offers a real understanding of what its like to struggle with emotions. The fact that hes a father struggling to understand his emotions (and omg Kenzie is such an adorable little troublemaker!) truly gives the reader a full picture of who he is as a man.

So the love story between Tenn and Nate had me completely hooked, but Chaps also includes cameos by Grayson and Izaac (which made me squeal out loud) and several other potential future couples (Matt & Zeke? Kae & Rik? Yes, please please please!!!)  I feel like I am part of the community and know these people. Im really hoping the next book in the series releases SOON!

I can't put into words how much I loved Aced. Ella and Brooke did an amazing job with these characters as we meet Dylan from Devil's Kiss (by Ella Frank) and Ace from Hooker (by Brooke Blaine). I fell in love with them from the beginning and didn't want the story to end. Their chemistry was off the charts and we saw sides of them where they let their guard down showing just how vulnerable they were. Ace has issues (as you will find out) and Dylan has a few insecurities, but damn if I didn't love the openness he had with his family. lol..This is an amazing story that I highly recommend and I am patiently waiting for the continuation of their story to see what these ladies have in store for us! <3

Gah! I finished reading an early copy of this book about a week ago...and I can't stop thinking about it. It's 3am and I'm sitting in bed like a lunatic insomniac replaying -no RELIVING -- all the gritty open-wounded emotions this book ripped open.

It's THE MOST COMPELLING CoHo book to date and a MUST READ!!! Trust me. I've been a long-time CoHo reader and fan and this book caught me in a web of feelings I'm still stuck in.

First and foremost: GO INTO THIS BOOK BLIND.
Please.
Seriously.
You don't need to know if it's an alpha-male romance, rockstar, college, etc.
It. doesn't. matter.
Just know that this a realistic romance written in a way that is uniquely CoHo.

Everyone says it's a different "Coho" book.
That's true.
It's a departure from many of the other storylines she's done. It's real, and raw, and shoots you to an entire new level of feelings.

Rest assured, all the elements of CoHo's writing that we (and I) have come to love are still there:
The creative characters - check 
Sarcastic dialogue - check 
Humorous banter  - check 
Everyday life situations in extraordinary circumstances - check 
Swoony male lead you fall in love with - double check !! 

However, the difference is in how Colleen takes you deep into the headspace of Lily Bloom, the heroine, and in my opinion, the strongest of any of Colleen's characters to date. You are led on a journey where you become part of Lily. You empathize with her FEELS at every stage: Lust, love, anger, confusion, heartache, and pure joy. Everything, all at once.  Then those feelings get manipulated to create a new level of emotion and understanding that very few books have ever instilled in me.  All of it driven by the hard choices that needed to be made. The lessons learned. The courage undertaken. Oh, the amount of courage!! It made the cowardly lion look, well ...cowardly.

And OMG!!!
O.wen M.ason G.entry !!!!
That ending. I haven't experienced such a plethora of raw FEELS from four words since reading the last two words in "The Sea of Tranquility". It's THAT profound.

(HINT for all you end-of-book peekers: RESIST THE URGE.)

Dive in and get lost in the characters and their story. Allow yourself to be consumed by their love because when you do, when you hit the twists, your feelings will morph into something so unique and indescribable, it will cut through your soul and bury into your psyche so deep, it will live there.  Only two other books have ever had that much of an emotional impact on me, and I've read a lot of books.

This book will CHANGE you. It will CHALLENGE you to think differently. It will turn your world upside-down about a topic that many of us looking from the outside-in often misjudge.

I'll say it again...It Ends with Us is THE MOST COMPELLING Colleen Hoover book to date and a MUST READ!!!

A must read. This book was recommended to me and I was apprehensive. Lies, ugghh. Boy am I glad I bought it. I read it in less than a day and was blown away. Alessandra Torre you have a fan my dear. Keep them coming!!

This book.  Words cannot describe how amazing this book is!! The level of pure genius that is K Webster... I bow down to her greatness as this book just floored me!! FLOORED!!!  You think you have things figured out then BAM! You are so wrong!! When the pieces started flowing together I was literally doing the infamous slow clap to the author.  This book just solidified that if K Webster writes it, I will read it!! She is by far my favorite author of 2016!  I started out with her with Dirty Ugly Toy and ended it with Whispers and the Roars and I loved everything in between!!  She is the ONLY author on my best of 2016 list with multiple entries!!  This is a MUST read book!!  Its twisted and delicious and I loved every second of it!

At this point I would normally go into the characters and how much I love them but when an author has in in her blurb to don't read any reviews or the blurb and it's best to go into the book blind I will leave you with this.... JUST READ THIS BOOK!!!  HUGE HUGE HUGE 5 star read!!
