Playing Patience By Tabatha Vargo

Buy Link: Playing Patience

Sometimes all you need is Patience. 

Life’s been hard for Zeke. Being a punching bag for his alcoholic father has turned him into stone. Not even the dodgy trailer park he lives in can scare him. Fighting is his release and sex, drugs, and his guitar bring him peace, but deep down Zeke isn’t quite as hard as he makes himself out to be. When he meets Patience, she finds all his broken pieces and puts him back together, but she’s a ray of light in his shadowed life and the last thing he wants to do is bring her into his dark world. Playing careless is easy, playing the bad guy can be fun, but playing Patience is impossible, especially when she can see right through him. 

Zeke isn’t the only one who’s broken, and for the first time, in a long time, Patience feels alive. Her black and white world gets a shot of color when she meets Zeke. He’s unlike anyone she’s ever met with his tattoos, piercings, and blunt honesty. She wants nothing more than to let go and ride the wild side with him, but some wounds never heal and the broken pieces of Patience aren’t so easy to find. 

Playing Patience isn't your typical school romance. It's deep, it's dark, and it's shockingly stomach turning. 
When I first read this I couldn't believe what I was reading. As a mother, I could never imagine hurting my kids physically or mentally and I don't even want to get into sexually. 
Zeke has being his dad's punching back from as long as he can remember. The abuse has hardened him out of his trailer. He doesn't let anyone in, doesn't let anyone see the abuse he receives. 
I really liked him. I could understand why he acted the way he did with Patience at times, but then at others, I wondered what the hell he was thinking. 

Like all the other reviews I had read I will say the ending is really rushed. We don't get answers to what we want to know. I mean, there must have been a case as to why the dad was shot dead etc. And how Zeke never got caught in the case. I dunno, the ending all seemed rushed, especially when the rest of the book dragged in places. It repeated on it self a few times also. 

Other than that, the seriousness of the book is heartbreaking. It's just shocking to read. How a parent, or pretty much anyone could do this to someone else is beyond any words I could give you. I think the author handles the situation well and doesn't overdo it or over step the mark.

Fallen Forth Down (Fallen Crest Series #4) By Tijan

Buy Link: Fallen Fourth Down

My mother tried to destroy me. She doesn’t exist to me anymore and my father, the one who raised me and the biological one, are both works in progress. The only two people that I can trust are Mason and Logan, and they’re the two people who I could lose. It won’t happen. I won’t let it. No matter the truth, no matter who loves me, I won’t let anything or anyone come between us. 
They’re my world. They’re my life. 
They’re my family. 

I have been waiting for this book for so bloody long, I nearly died of excitment when a friend rang me to tell me it's live. It didn't help I was in the middle of a food store, squealing over a book being released LOL 

I have a mixed review on this book. Like massive mixed reviews. 

I have always wondered where Tijan was going with Fallen fourth down, so I was surprised she went completely off track in this one in places. Here are my reasons why....

1) It says Sam lost her virginity with Jeff's cousin Jackson in this one, but in the first one Jeff comments to her about having sex once and never having it off her again. Also, she tells Mason she has only had sex once. (Where the new story line came from I don't know)

2) Mason in the second novel, towards the end, confesses his love to Sam. She know's she loves him too, but he knew before she did that she loved him. Anyway, they're having this conversation where Sam asks his views on cheating (Her way of asking if he'd cheat) and Mason then comments about not having time for people who cheat, he says it's weak, no matter how bad a relationship is etc, there is no excuse. So, why in this novel, did Mason not react to his discovery about her cheating? which brings me to my next fault, but I'll get to that in a minute. I was certain he would react badly, look at Sam differently as I'm sure (but not certain on this) that when they had this conversation in the second novel, he told Sam he knew she weren't like everyone else. She wasn't a cheat, she knew the affects cheating causes etc. 

3) Then we have the whole Logan issue. This statement is going to sound pretty cryptic because I don't want to give anything away. Basically, the third installment ended with Tate telling Sam Logan loved her. So when it all comes out, no one reacted the way I thought they would, especially Mason. 

4) Marissa. I don't know where to begin. So many thing's didn't add up. It says in this novel that they were friends for years, although Tate had picked on her at a cabin party in book one. Again, it didn't add up. Tate had said on one scene she felt bad about what she had done to Marissa and went to make things right before going back to Fallen crest, but then she contradicts herself by saying she's been friends with her for years. I thought maybe the fight at the cabin had been a set up, but then towards the end Marissa bares all and again, nothing adds up. 

Put aside all these issues, which are easily ignored, I absolutely loved the book. I didn't like how it ended. It felt to abrupt for me, but I think it's because the old Mason and Logan just come back. Throughout the book I felt like they had changed. 

Then we have Logan, my lovely Logan ;) he had me in stitches numerous of times throughout the book. I couldn't stop the laughter from breaking out. It was so goddamn funny. 

I also loved how Sam started sticking up for herself with people, but I still don't get why she's so mean to her dad. Not her real one the one who raised her. She as well as any of them know how her mother was so really she should sympathize with her dad on that matter, not be against him. 

I would have loved to have read more about her relationship with Marks mom. There's a scene in the book that not only made me laugh, but made me feel like crying. I hope Sam has a happy ending, I hope they all do. 

I cannot wait for the next in the series to come out. I just hope we're not all left hanging, and it's ready mid year next year.

FateBook By Mimi Jean Pamfiloff

Buy link: Fatebook

DAKOTA DANE IS ABOUT TO TELL A LIE SHE'LL WISH SHE HADN'T. Because her lie is dangerous, sexy, and just showed up on campus, angry as hell and looking for her... 

Ugly duckling Dakota Dane has a new boyfriend. He’s male-model gorgeous, built to perfection, wealthy, and smart. He is also a lie. As in, 100% fabricated. Does it matter that Dakota has a perfectly good reason for making him up? Not really. Not when Dakota’s made-up boyfriend shows up in the flesh. 

So is she crazy? All signs point to maybe. But the walking, talking enigma with the deadly vibe isn’t about to give her any answers or let her out of his sight. And with college just around the corner, Dakota fears her dreams of a bright future have just collided with a dark rabbit hole… 
~~~ 
Fate. 

Such a simple word, isn’t it? But there’s nothing simple about it. Not for me, anyway. Not when it comes to this man. I have no idea who the hell he is, where he came from, or what he wants, but his dangerous vibe tells me I should run away and never look back. 

But I can’t. 

Because as much as he scares the hell out of me, his sinfully dark gaze and what it does to me is ten times more powerful. 

And I know I want something I shouldn’t. I should want my sanity. I should want college and parties and this dream I’ve waited for my whole life. I should want to keep that promise I made myself back in high school to make something of my life. 

But now I’m looking at him, his powerful body, his predatory gaze, his sinfully shaped lips, and I know I’ll never be able to walk away. So I simply keep lying to myself about there being a reason for all this. I simply tell myself it must be fate.

Oh My God..... 

Fate book has to be one of the most brilliant and unique reads that I've read in a while. 

I thought this book was going to be so different from what I got. It was so much more amazing. 

I couldn't put the thing down until I had finished it. 

The characters are both believable characters and so is the story to an extent. The only scene I thought was a little far fetched was the sex scene, but I'm not ruining that. 

I loved the fact the author made it so believable. Like you were reading from someone's experience. You know when you read a book, and you question everything one of the heroins are doing? well, Dakota questions everything and I liked that. It made the book that much more real. 

Then we have the hot male heroin. Oh My God, if I knew making up a facebook boyfriend would actually get me one, i'd do it within a second LOL 

Loved his character, his personality, and his hot looks ;)

The blurb doesn't do it justice. 5* read from me. 

Waiting on the sidelines By Ginger Scott

Buy link: Waiting on the sidelines

Nolan Lennox had things figured out. Named after a baseball legend, she enjoyed being the Tomboy, her closet filled with her brother's hand-me-downs, cut-off jeans and soccer shorts. But when her first trip to high school results in a broken heart from the first boy to ever make her heart flutter and cruel words from an older girl she once thought a family friend, Nolan starts to question the very person she thought she was and wonders if her humble upbringing can compete with the afforded luxuries of her privileged peers.

Throughout the next four years, Nolan struggles to maintain herself throughout her path of discovery, learning just how cruel teenagers can be through the pressures of underage drinking, sexuality and class. And despite how life seems to continue to work against her, she still manages to listen to her heart, falling deeper and deeper for the guy the entire town adores, even if he only sees her as a friend. Can Nolan strike a compromise between her own integrity and the boy she loves? And can she make him notice her before it's too late?

Reed Johnson came to Coolidge High School with a lot of fanfare. The son of a hometown football legend and the brother of a local football hero, Reed wore all the pressures of carrying a town without hope into the spotlight. Thankfully, he had the talent to back it up. But when he meets a girl who makes him think twice about exactly what being a hero means, he starts to wonder if following in his brother's footsteps might be all wrong. 

Nolan Lennox was everything that was opposite of expected. She didn't flirt, she didn't drink and she didn't sleep around. Nothing about her was easy, but something about her made Reed want to try harder. Though she didn't look the part, she seemed to be spending a lot of time in Reed's thoughts, and he wondered if she could be the one who made it all worthwhile. But could Reed handle letting her down? And would breaking her heart break him beyond repair?

Waiting on the Sidelines explores young love to its fullest, exposing how real young heartbreak and passion is and how important it is to discover yourself and hold onto your own identity. The story follows two young characters as they deal with mature situations, including the prevalence of bullying and promiscuity in today's high school setting. Ultimately, Waiting on the Sidelines is a story of hope, honesty and those powerful, first true loves--the ones worth holding onto at any cost.

I'm going to be honest and rate this low for ME !! Not because of anyone else or because I didn't finish to the end.

I literally stopped reading 77% in. Before I say why, let me explain. I don't usually read these types of books. Although I did have an argument over Fallen crest and few other novels I've read are in the same genre. I just felt this book was so plain and it was boring, FOR ME. 

My rating isn't fair on this novel as when I brought the sample I flipped through it easily and thought, I'm enjoying this. Then I purchased it and found my self falling asleep. It dragged so much. Everything was soooooo detailed. The writing was fantastic though. 

Also, it brought up many issues school girls have at that age. I think someone younger than me will enjoy this book. How they can compare it to their first love or the person they love. I don't really know. All I know is, this book isn't for me. Which is why I haven't given it a rating, but thought I'd write a review. 

Hopeless By Colleen Hoover

Buy Link: Hopeless

Sky, a senior in high school, meets Dean Holder, a guy with a promiscuous reputation that rivals her own. From their very first encounter, he terrifies and captivates her. Something about him sparks memories of her deeply troubled past, a time she's tried so hard to bury. Though Sky is determined to stay far away from him, his unwavering pursuit and enigmatic smile break down her defences and the intensity of their relationship grows. But the mysterious Holder has been keeping secrets of his own, and once they are revealed, Sky is changed forever and her ability to trust may be a casualty of the truth. 
Only by courageously facing the stark revelations can Sky and Holder hope to heal their emotional scars and find a way to live and love without boundaries. Hopeless is a novel that will leave you breathless, entranced, and remembering your own first love.

This is the third time I've read this book and I loved it as much as the first time. I got reading it again after I read Ugly Love and noticed I had yet to write a review. 

This book is similar to Kirsty Moseley's The boy who sneaks into my bedroom window. They are both empowering, emotional, inspiring books. 

Everyday we hear something tragic on the news, read about someone being abused and we never think it could happen to us. 

In this novel, you will be on such a high throughout. You will fall in love with both Holden and Sky and they will stay with you for a lifetime. They were both teenagers and at school. Holden had originally dropped out after having gone through a hard time the year before. Sky has only just began to start public school after having years of home schooling. When the two meet it's like a bomb explodes within both their lives. 

The story is beautiful yet tragic, heartbreaking yet heartwarming. It gives you so much an emotional experience, you'll not even know what part you are crying over.

This is a 5* read and as I said before, It's my third time reading it and I loved it and was glued to it just as much. That's how brilliant this book is. It's one everyone should read once in their life and one that will be forever listed as you top favorite reads. 

Well done to Colleen on this novel because it's exceptional work

A whole new crowd by Tijan

Buy link: A whole new crowd

Taryn grew up in a different world. Her boyfriend was a criminal. His older brother was part of a gang. They weren’t great people, but they were her family. Then everything changes when she’s adopted by a family in the neighboring town. New family. New friends. A new world. She’s elated. This is her chance for a new beginning, but secrets start being revealed and Taryn learns her new life has ties to her old one, ties that she’s not happy about. Her new family might not have been the lucky break she thought she had. Now she's not only fighting to live that new future, but she's fighting to survive as well. 

I'm a massive fan of Tijan's work. This novel wasn't any different. It is a brilliant book. 

Before I start with my review, I will say, the writing is a little bit of a disappointment. It is easily ignored, but at times I felt like I had to re-read some things. I never understood them, with so many mistakes. It does need another read through. 

If so, the book is fab. I read the first few chapters and I didn't know what to think. Like literally. In the end I carried on reading and thank god I did. The book is freaking amazing. I think it had taken me time to get into because I've been missing Logan and Mason from Fallen Crest, but this book filled that.

I fell in love with both characters and felt a deep connection with them.

I loved Tray straight off, but always knew there was more to him. (This isn't a spoiler) 

He is hot, strong, powerful, leader, alpha male and protective. I loved his loyalty and his relationship with Taryn from the start. 

All the characters in this novel were similar to the ones in fallen crest, so I could easily follow the story line. 

This has some mystery, some action and a really good story plot. 

The ending was fantastic and I am sad I won't be reading about this characters again. 

It had everything you could want in a book. 

Well done Tijan.

Forever (Seaside series) #3.5 By Rachel Van Dyken

Buy link: Forever

Men fall hard. Rock stars? Fall the hardest.

This is the conclusion to Alec and Nat's story.

I breathed in and out for a few seconds as I waited at the end of the aisle. It felt like I was standing overlooking the edge of a cliff, and the minute I saw my future wife, I was going to freefall.

The music started.

Shit, I was seriously going to pass out.

People stood, Demetri nodded his head and patted me on the back.

And then I saw her.

It was like seeing her for the first time all over again. Memories of meeting her that first day of school had me grinning from ear to ear. The local girl, who didn’t even know who I was the first time she saw me, fell for me. And in return, gave me her heart for safekeeping. I ached to touch her as she walked slowly down the aisle. Her brown eyes met mine. And I lost it. Every single fear that I was holding on to snapped.

Forget drugs.

Forget needing to calm down.

I couldn’t stop my heart from beating out of my chest, and I didn’t want to. I just wanted to touch her, to tell her how pretty she was in her white dress. I wanted to promise her forever, I wanted to be her eternity.

This is a short novel for the seaside series. Its about them all coming together and finally seeing what they have. We get to see more characters make brilliant memories. 

Another short review but I promise it won't disappoint. Its hilariously funny, and had me reading it in one sitting.

Pull (Seaside series) #2 By Rachel Van Dyken

Buy link: Pull

Jaded rock star, Demetri Daniels, is in Hell — also known as Seaside, Oregon. Sent to rehab after nearly getting himself killed last year, his record company wants nothing more than for him to lay low, away from the limelight.

Irritated and more alone than he’s ever been in his life, Demetri tries desperately to rebuild his shattered reputation as a drug addict and player, which proves to be difficult when he meets Alyssa.

Alyssa is everything he should stay away from. She’s beautiful, smart, but above all else, she’s damaged. And one thing Demetri has learned is two broken hearts don’t equal a whole.
In the end, he has to decide if he can rise above the life he’s created in learning from his past mistakes, or fall into the darkness of his choices.

This book had me in complete stitches. I couldn't put the thing down, and I cried tears I couldn't stop the laughter. My sides hurt and everything. 

We get to see a different side to Demetri in this novel, but we also get to see his vulnerable side. 

The two main heroines in this novel were perfect for each other. Once you get past the laughter, and his funny banter, you get another side to him. I seriously fell in love with him in this novel. 

I felt sorry for Alyssa in this book. Her own tragic story tugged at my heart and it was nice to see it wasn't just going to be about Demetri Daniels. 

I seriously loved this book. I don't think you'll find a funnier book than this one. It had me glued from page one and read within a day. 

I don't have much to say on anything else because for me this novel was a perfect read. I didn't want it to end.

Tear (Seaside Series) #1 By Rachel Van Dyken

Buy link Tear

Life as a teenager is never easy. But for Natalee Murray, things have just gotten way more difficult. Bored with life, she can't wait to graduate high school and get out of town, especially considering the famous band members from AD2 suddenly start attending her school, making her once boring life, absolutely insane.

It starts with a pen. A single brush of fingers, and she is captivated.

But Alec and Demetri have a dark secret, one that could shatter their reputations and Natalee's heart. What do you do when one guy paints your life with color while the other infuses your soul with passion? How do you choose when your heart is divided?

Firstly, I just want to say, I never expected this to be a five star. I've read pretty much all of Rachel Van Dyken's novels, but this series never caught my attention. It is currently free on amazon, so I thought why the hell not. 

First thoughts? Why the hell didn't I read this sooner. 

Never have I fallen for two characters in my life so quickly. 

Alec is mysterious, mature, and level headed. Then Demetri is the clown of the two. He's honestly the most funniest character I have ever read about. I loved him, but always felt like his relationship with Nat wasn't right. It was forced, and he only cared about himself. 

The story line is bloody great, and I had purchased the 2nd within two seconds of finishing this one. 

The only negative thing I had to say about this book was the beginning. It says Nat's parents were controlling, never letting her to parties or to wear makeup or have a boyfriend, etc etc. 

But in the book they were always absent. She always felt like they never cared for her. Then when she brings back Demetri, who her mother is currently counselling, no one says anything, and her mother out of all people knew their reputation. 

I just felt that had been overlooked. 

Anyway all in 5* will be writing next reviews in the series now.

Pushing the limits By Katie McGarry

Buy link: Pushing the limits

I can’t remember the night that changed my life. The night I went from popular to loner freak. And my family are determined to keep it that way. They said therapy was supposed to help. They didn’t expect Noah. Noah is the dangerous boy my parents warned me about. But the only one who’ll listen. The only one who’ll help me find the truth.

I know every kiss, every promise, every touch is forbidden. But what if finding your destiny means breaking all the rules? A brave and powerful novel about loss, change and growing up, but most of all love.

I didn't know what to expect when I first got this book. It look kind of angsty to me, and I needed a break from it at the time of reading. I was so wrong and so happy I picked this book up. I loved every single minute and had trouble putting it down. 

Everyone has issues growing up, but a majority of families get to have a normal one, normal loving parents etc. Only Pushing the limits is nothing like a normal family. I wasn't keen on her father, or her step mother, I thought they were selfish, spiteful, and manipulative. Then there was the mother, she was even worse. I honestly couldn't believe what I was reading. She almost killed her daughter, and then only thought about HER recovery. It was just plain wrong. 

Now Noah, I loved Noah. He and Echo go through similar stories. Both getting over lost loved ones. 

The story is completely compelling, and beautiful to read. It doesn't hurt that Noah is a complete Darling and I fell completely in love with him. 

It took me a while to get used to Echo's name, but I got there in the end. 

I don't know how to explain the story, when I read all the hyped up reviews, I was really unsure. I thought nothing is that good. Boy! Was I wrong lol This is one book you defo have to read. Its one that shouldnt stay on your TBR list and one that needs to be read, to be seen, to be heard of. The author was truly amazing gifting us with this novel.

Free falling By Kirsty Moseley

Free falling By Kirsty Moseley

They say that your school years are supposed to be the best years of your life, and that you should make the most of them because you’ll miss them when you’re all grown up. Up until Maisie Preston’s senior year, she would have totally agreed with that statement. Life was great; she had everything going for her, excellent grades, great parents, an annoying yet caring twin brother, and an impossibly sweet boyfriend. 

Everything was perfect — that is until the arrival of Zach Anderson. A misfit delinquent that seemed to bring with him a lot of bad karma. Is it just a coincidence that his arrival marks a significant change in Maisie’s life? Up until senior year, life was perfect, but things seem to be going downhill fast. 

This is a companion novel for ‘Always You’ — though this novel stands alone so there is no need to read Always You first.

This isn't a new read for me, but I noticed recently that I hadn't reviewed it so I decided to read it again. 

Maisie annoys me in this novel. The way she kept going back to her cheating Ex like he didnt just cheat on her or stick up for the girl he slept with. I wished throughout the book she would see him for who he truly is. 

Now Zach on the other hand is a mystery. I seriously loved his character. 

This is another short review as I dont want to give to much away. All you need to know are the characters were great and the story plot was greater and is a 5* read. 

Mason By Tijan

Buy link: Mason

Mason Kade is not known to be nice. He is ruthless, manipulative, and unforgiving. Most will say that he is a jerk and he is to those that cross him or cross his loved ones. However, he does not want to be who he is. He does not enjoy hurting others, but there is no limit to the lengths he will go to protect himself and his brother. This is the story of how he came to be and this is why so many love Mason Kade. 

This is a story of a destroyed family and the effects it had on a son. 

I didn't know whether to read this novel or not, so I downloaded the sample. After reading the first three novels over again I started getting Mason and Logan withdrawal, so when I came across this I thought what the hell. Then I read the sample and thought, oh no they're young in this one. 

I am so glad I put that aside and still read it because it was another fantastic read by Tijan 

The book flows through months and years quickly, but we get to see why Logan and Mace are the way they are. I really enjoyed it. 

In fallen crest series when we found out about Marissa I felt sorry for her. In mason we read about their friendship, which to me isnt all what the first books made it out to be, but something tells me there is more to Marissa then meets the eye. 

Also we had a sneak peak into fallen crest fourth down and I am so excited for the release I could burst. If you havent read the first in the series read this one then go from there. 

Best series you could read.

Cross my heart By Katie Klein

Cross My Heart

True love can blossom in unexpected places. This is Jaden pretending not to notice. . . . 

Jaden McEntyre and Parker Whalen are a wrong fit from the start. Jaden is driven and focused, Harvard Med School within reach. Parker has a past—a reputation—and the rumors about his mysterious habits abound. So there’s no reason why, when they're assigned to work together on a project in English, they should discover they have anything in common, or even like each other, and they definitely shouldn't be falling in love. 

As they bond over Edith Wharton’s tragic novella, Ethan Frome, the “bad boy” vibe Parker plays begins to dissipate. Soon, Jaden finds herself shedding her own “good girl” image: sneaking around to be with him, confiding in him, and ultimately falling hard for this leather-wearing, motorcycle-driving loner who plays into the rebel stereotype. 

Still, Jaden can't shake the feeling that there's more to Parker than he's letting on. He's hiding something from her, and discovering the truth means reconciling the Parker she's grown to love with the person he really is. Because it's possible that his life inside the classroom—everything Jaden knows—is one, massive lie.
