Permanent Lines by Ashley Wilcox

 

The disclaimer from Merrick couldn’t be farther from the truth!  He definitely didn’t act like you would expect a man to act.  I guess I just don’t see a man as the one to fall head over heels right away for someone.  There was a lot of him pining over Amelia, after their first two days together – and when he finally unexpectedly runs into her – all hell breaks loose.

 

 

There is a lot happens once they meet up again, and I think sometimes I felt like it all was just a little too rushed for me.  Merrick definitely loved Amelia, and the feelings were returned, although there were so many things they had to tackle through to get to the other side.  It sometimes felt a little over the top for me, but if you like “love at first date” stories, that are very fast paced – then this book will be for you.

 

 

Favorite Places (TroubleMaker #2) by Kelly Gendron

A five-minute trolley ride, one troublemaking luggage, and two stolen identities. Six months later, two strangers discover they’re married. She wants an annulment. He has other plans.

Being illegally hitched is about the only way Chase Lennox would ever be shackled to any woman. But when the multimillionaire playboy finds out he’s married to the woman who caused him to lose the biggest deal of his life, Chase decides before he gives his new wife an annulment, she’s going to help him close the deal he’d lost.

Jessina Landi has a three-foot radius comfort zone. The last man she let into it cost her a lot more than a broken heart. And the huge debt she owes for that trust, well, it’s due. If she takes Chase Lennox's up on his offer, it’s sure to cover the bill.

There’s an annulment waiting at the end of their rainbow… well, that’s if they can get through the next two weeks without consummating the marriage.

 

I loved the way these two met - and the circumstances that brought them back to meet again was even crazier.  Right from the beginning, Chase and Jessina battled each other - stubbornly disagreeing how to  fix their situation, and even though they argued - they still both felt the spark between them.  At times I wondered if they would ever recover from their past hurts and move on and heal.

This story was a "love at first sight" type of story which sometimes to me feels rushed, and I occasionally  wished that I could have gotten to know Jessina and Chase a little better.  Sometimes the way they acted to different situations, didn't seem to make sense for what I did know about them. 

If you like a fast paced, cute love story that will keep you wondering if these two will ever get it together and admit their true feelings toward each other - then this book is definitely for you, and you'll never imagine who the "troublemaker" really is in the story!

Breathless by Rose J. Bell
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

ARC provided by Rose J. Bell for honest review.


I rated this a 3.5 Star Review,

This is a story about a young girl, Ree, who has been through so much in the past 2-1/2 years. She shows her strength as she struggles through her circumstances, and as she meets Logan and breaks down all her rules and falls in love. There are a lot of tender moments between "hoodie girl" and "rude boy" that you will love. I do have to warn you there are some explicit scenes as she remembers her 3 months in captivity with "psycho" - so if you have issues with that, please be aware.

I rounded down on the 3.5 Star Review mainly because of the grammatical errors, which I could understand because the author is from Germany. I also felt like there was almost an unbelievable amount of drama happening to Ree, which didn't give time to develop more of the other charachters in the book. Even with these issues for me, I'm glad to have had the opportunity to read this book and I think this author will just improve as she writes more.
