Rogue (Real #4) by Katy Evans

Synopsis:
HE SAYS HE’S NO GOOD FOR HER.
SHE HATES THAT HE MIGHT BE RIGHT.

Brook Dumas found Remington Tate in REAL, and now it’s her best friend Melanie’s turn to find the man who makes her heart sing. After years of searching, one night in the rain, the strong and mysterious Greyson King comes to her rescue. He’s bold, and maybe just the lover, friend, and protector she’s been searching for. When they make love, he says her name like it means something. Like she means something—and that’s everything she’s ever wanted. He disappears for days without a word, and when he’s around, he says he’ll only hurt her. Buy when he’s away, her heart hurts more. Then Melanie uncovers the dark world he’d been determined to keep hidden, and suspects that their random first meeting might have not been so random after all. Caught in a free fall of emotions, Melanie has no one to catch her but the man she should be running from. But what do you do when your Prince Charming has gone Rogue?

Teaser 1:
"Are you deliberately ignoring me?" I murmur, sliding  my hand around her waist.
"No." She Smiles down at the sidewalk as she tucks her hair behind her ear.
I drop my head until my lips are almost grazing that ear. "Good, because I'm not someone you ignore."

Teaser 2:
"Don't ever answer a call from an unknown number unless I warn you beforehand."
I can her the laughter in her voice, beneath the scowl, of course. "Then don't call me from a strange number, you dick."

Promised (One Night #1) by Jodi Ellen Malpas

I absolutely love Jodi Ellen Malpas and This Man Series. I love her writing style, the story she comes up with and the characters. I had real high hopes for the One Night series. Jodi Ellen Malpas wrote an amazing series with This Man and I fell head over heels in love with Jesse. I was wondering if she was gonna top the This Man series or if she would be able to write another series just as great as This Man. I can honestly say I don't know.

Promised is very different than This Man. I can't say I love it but I can't say I hate it. It's different. I keep thinking I need the next book in the series to give an honesty opinion on the book. It feel like nothing big really happen in the book. There was great character development with back stories and everything. But I didn't get a feel for the characters as a couple.

Miller is difficult and different. He's mysterious and closed off. He has secrets that I couldn't figure out. He is hard to read. He is however, sexy, super sexy, well dressed, well mannered sometimes, and likes the finer things in life. He is a clean freak and has OCD that fits him in a way.

Livy is young and sheltered so to speak. She doesn't go out or live her life because of her past. She is afraid of becoming her mother and I think every woman is afraid of becoming her mother. I didn't really care too much about her past. Her mother being a hooker seemed like a way to get the reader to love her and it instead annoyed me.

Livy's grandmother and friends annoyed me. Her grandma was trying to set her up and find her a man. I felt like if Livy wanted a man, she would have had one. She didn't need her nosy grandma in her life. Her friends wanted her to have a life and a guy but then when she found Miller, they didn't approve of him. I didn't like her friends at all. Someone like Livy should have different, better friends. Her best friend Gregory reminded me a lot of Tom in This Man series. I thought Tom was super annoying and jealous of Ava and I felt Gregory was the same with Livy.

I did love Miller's little issues. I loved how he was a clean freak. I'm a clean freak and I related to him on that level. Although, I didn't understand why he was a clean freak. People just don't wake up one day and decided to be clean freaks. A little back story on that would have been nice and was needed. I love his thing. He doesn't do romance or cuddles but he loved cuddling with Livy and having himself wrapped around her. It was cute. His OCD with placement of things was weird but made Miller sort of hot and seem out of reach.

I have to read the next book in the series to see where the characters and story goes. Promised ended in a weird cliffhanger and I'm interested in where things are headed.

Tamed (Tangled #3) by Emma Chase

Tamed is the third book in the Tangled Series and is now one of my favorite books. I absolutely fell in love with Matthew. Tamed is told from his perceptive and is during the exact time Tangled was happening. Emma Chase knows how to write a book from a male's POV. And it's funny and it's exactly the way I think a guy would think.

Tamed pick up with Matthew being depressed about his and Dee-Dee's relationship. It then takes us back 4 weeks to when Matthew first met Dee. The moment he met Dee-Dee, he was in lust with her. She was different and wanted her. But instead of asking Dee-Dee for her number, he asked Kate for it. He calls her that night and they start their fun relationship. 

Dee-Dee doesn't want a relationship. She just wants fun and Matthew is all for that. Until he's not. He falls for Dee-Dee quick and wants more. They hang out a lot and sleep together a lot. Dee-Dee thinks everything is moving too fast and makes a run for it in the middle of the night. She wants space and Matthew gives it to her. After a couple of days Matthew goes to her. Well more likes stalks her and they get back together.

Dee-Dee has a messed up past. She has a bad habit of falling for the wrong guys and getting hurt. She doesn't want to do the same with Matthew. Matthew to also has a bad habit of falling for the wrong girl. His college girlfriend was only with him for some stupid reason and cheated on him the whole time. He is over her and what happen but he hasn't falling for another girl until Dee-Dee. The college girlfriend does make an appearance in the book and almost messes up Matthew's relationship with Dee-Dee, but Dee-Dee ends up believing him. I don't know how she did though cause the situation looked sounded pretty messed up and I wouldn't have believed it.

Dee-Dee and Matthew end up having a serious argument about Drew and Kate's relationship and they end things. Matthew is miserable. Dee-Dee is miserable. They shouldn't have let there friends come between them but they did. Dee-Dee does come to her senses and goes back to Matthew.

I loved Matthew. Drew was my favorite in the series until Matthew. He seems real. He is funny, smart, loves sex, super hot and drives a motorcycle. I think I love Matthew more than Drew and I never thought that was possible. Drew does make some appearances in the book but it's not much. His sister makes some appearance too. I forgot how much I liked her character. Matthew seems to have a better relationship her than Drew does.

I love that Dee-Dee is different than any character I have read about. She is fun and free spirited. She doesn't care what people think of her and I like that. She is dresses crazy and is super smart. She tends to fool people with her clothes and her job. She tends to be difficult at times too but that just because of her past. The past tends to mess people up even if we don't want it too. I wish there were more books like Tamed. Matthew and Dee-Dee are my new favorite book couple.

I loved Tamed and Emma Chase and I seriously hope she writes more books.

Promised (One Night #1) by Jodi Ellen Malpas

Synopsis:
Livy notices him the moment he walks into the coffee shop. He's heart-stoppingly stunning, with a blue-eyed gaze so piercing she's almost too distracted to take his order. When he walks out the door, she thinks she'll never see him again. Then she finds the note he left on his napkin . . . signed M.

All he wants is one night to worship her. No feelings, no commitment, nothing but pleasure. Every defense mechanism Livy has adopted during her solitary life is at risk of being obliterated by this confounding man. He's obnoxious but well-mannered. He's a gentleman but aloof. He's passionate but emotionless. Yet the fascination is so powerful, Livy can't deny him... or herself.

M awakens something in Livy, something deep and addictive that she never knew existed -- and that she fears only he can satisfy. But she senses that behind the fast cars, fancy suits, and posh apartment, he's aching inside. To have him, body and soul, she'll have to brave his dark secrets. Delving into his world and breaking down his defenses become her obsession - an obsession that could shatter her heart beyond repair.

Teaser 1: 

‘You said you could only offer me one night.’

‘Twenty-four hours, Livy.’

Teaser 2:

For the first time since I’ve met him, he smiles. It’s a proper smile – a beautiful smile . . . and I fall a little bit more. ‘Because I simply have to kiss you again.’ Leaning in, he gently rests his lips on mine. ‘It’s new to me. I need to taste you some more.’

New? It’s new to him? What, like different from his usual polished, diamond-adorned women?

‘And because what we can create together shouldn’t be passed up, Livy.’

Teaser 3:

I jump a mile when I feel hot breath in my ear and a firm grip of my nape. ‘Come with me.’

I stiffen under his hold, my eyes darting to the bar to see where Luke is. I can’t see him, but that’s not to say he can’t see me.

‘Get up, Livy.’

Wow!

Today marked 2 years exactly for me for when I first opened a book and became addicted to all things books. I love reading and going to another place when I read. I love falling in love with certain characters and their stories. I love transporting (that's what reading feels like to me) to another place when I read. I live in a fantasy world where I wish some things that happen in books happen in real life. I also wish guys were like the ones I read about. Guys in books set very high standards for girls in reality. I know guys aren't like book guys, but a girl can dream.

I have a list of every book I have read in the past 2 years. Some are great. Some are horrible. Some are questionable. Some are a little embarrassing. Some are I don't even know what I was thinking. When I first opened a book, I could finish it in about 2 days. But now it can take me up to a week to finish one. I used to not be able to put a book down but lately it seems like I can't find a book that grabs my attention and keep it. I have been finding boring book or books that have the same story lines but with different characters. I need a good book again.

I am sad to say that the Fifty Shades Series are the books that got me hooked on reading. I wish there was another book that got me, something a little better or more interesting but it is what it is. I also clearly have some favorite authors since most of the books I read are by the same set of authors.

Tamed (Tangled #3) by Emma Chase

Synopsis:
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: girl meets player, they fall in love, player changes his ways. It’s a good story. But it’s not our story. Ours is a lot more colorful. When I met Dee I knew right away that she was special. When she met me, she thought I was anything but special—I was exactly like every other guy who’d screwed her over and let her down. It took some time to convince her otherwise, but turns out I can make a convincing argument when sex is at stake. You might know where this story’s headed. But the best part isn't where we ended up. It’s how we got there.

TAMED goes back in time to the Tangled days. But this time around, it’s not Drew dishing out the advice and opinions—it’s his best friend Matthew, who of course is dealing with Dee Dee.

Teaser 1: 
"It's just so fucking sad!" I blurt out as I gesture to the television. "How can you watch this shit and not want to blow you head off with a twelve-gauge shotgun?"
Dee covers her mouth and laughs into her hands. "The fact that it can make me cry is one of the reasons I love it so much."

Teaser 2:
Her smile gets wider - more suggestive. "Then let's make a bet. Whoever can make the other person come first gets to pick the movie? What do you say?"
It's clear to me why Delores is such a successful chemist - she has such an amazingly innovative mind.
I scrape my teeth over my bottom lip thoughtfully. "I say this is a bet I'm going to really enjoy winning."

Rhett (Rhett #1) by J.S. Cooper

Rhett is totally not that horrible of a book. The whole book is in Rhett's POV and if all guys are like him, I glad they keep a lot of stuff to themselves. I don't want to know what goes on in a guy's head or want to know what they are thinking ever again. The first half on the book, I felt like I was reading a book about high school kids instead of kids in college. These people seemed super immature. The storyline wasn't that originally and nothing exciting happen. The best friend turned lovers thing is a little over played in books nowadays.

Rhett seems like a really hot, super sexy guy with baby blues. And what girl doesn't love baby blues.  He is an asshole, charmer and a bit immature. His friends and him constantly talk about sex and boobs. He uses girls and he still calls his best friend - best friend. At 21 that seems a little ridiculous especially if you're a guy. He is super rich and knows how to play a girl. He can get whatever he wants as long as he flashes his smile. He doesn't believe in marriage, love or relationship. He is a keeper - sike. He is stubborn, cocky and arrogant too. 

Clementine is Rhett's best friend and is in love with him. Although she doesn't say anything, it is clear as day, she wants him. She is a virgin and is set on waiting for marriage. She is curious about sex and she too talks about it a lot. She believes in romance, grand gestures, dreams and prince charming. I had mixed feeling about her. She wanted the relationship and love and she kept trying to put her beliefs on Rhett who obviously didn't want the same things in life as her.  

Rhett and Clementine's friendship was a little creepy but cute at the same time. They acted like an old married couple, joked around a lot, bickered and knew each other since they were kids. They got jealous of each other when the other person talked to someone of the opposite sex. I think the whole Clementine dating Elliott was a joke. She wanted Rhett to notice her and make a move, so she did what every girl does and brought in a new guy. The only way to get one guy to step up the plate is to show him he has competition. Clementine was using Elliott to make Rhett jealous and it worked. Rhett hated seeing her with another guy. Although he kept saying it was because he was gonna lose his best friend but that wasn't it. Rhett wanted Clementine for himself. He always told his guy friends she was unavailable.

The book was horrible but it could have been better. The cover and synopsis makes the book seem like its gonna be great and I guess I should learn not to judge a book by it's cover. Cause this cover lied to me. I like reading well written books with great story lines and this book wasn't it. I also just noticed that J.S. Cooper is writing another book in the series called Rhett In Love. I hope it's better than this one. I hope the author matures Rhett into a man and he isn't as immature. 

Until We Fly (Beautifully Broken #4) by Courtney Cole

Synopsis:
Ex-Army Ranger, Brand Killien, has always been good. A good friend, a good soldier, a good everything. The problem is, good hasn’t gotten him anything but a crushed heart. So after licking his wounds, he decides to move on. And moving on doesn’t include being good anymore. Bad sounds so much better. Jaded and detached, Brand is determined to never open himself up to anyone again. It’s not worth the pain. Instead, he becomes closed, hardened, aloof. But then he’s called back home for a family emergency… a family that he is estranged from. A family that he put out of his mind a long time ago for very good reasons…reasons that involve secrets and pain. Reasons he tried hard to forget. But home is where the heart is, and it just might be where Brand finds his again. Why? Because home is where Nora Greene is. A fiery, red-headed spitfire, Nora is a thing from his past. A beautiful, feisty thing. When Brand left, she was away at boarding school. But she’s back now.  And she wants Brand, scars and all.

Teaser 1:
"I own her, Killien. And I'll never let you be with her. Know that right now."

Teaser 2:
"I don't have the first clue how to take a sponge bath," he grumbles as limps past me.
"Me either," I tell him. "But we can figure it out."
We.
The butterflies start flying again, hard and fast, in my stomach. Brand turns to look at me.

Game Changer (Hell's Saints Motorcycle Club #1) by Paula Marinaro

Game Changer was not a book for me. I don't see how anyone could like this book at all. It was horrible. I thought since it was going to be about a motorcycle club, I would give it a chance. I shouldn't of. It wasn't like any motorcycle club books I ever read before.

What the heck did I just read? That was my reaction after the first couple of chapters. But for some unknown reason I kept reading. Then after a couple of more chapters, I was asking myself "Why am I still reading this horrible book?" This book is like watching a horrible train accident happen. It's horrible and you should look away, but you never do. That's how I felt. It was bad but I kept reading it. I just wanted to get the book over with as soon as possible with all my brain cells still attached.

I don't even know to begin with why I didn't like this book. It could be the that the main girl Raine's eyes kept changing colors. Her eyes were blue, then brown, then blue again. The author couldn't even remember the color. It could also to the constant repetitiveness that annoyed me. For example, starting every sentence for four paragraphs with 'I get' is very annoying. I get that the author is trying to make a point but it seemed like the author was a 12 year old instead. This sentence stuff happen a lot throughout the book. Every time a character was telling someone off or talking about something they would use the same set of words over and over again. ANNOYING.

Also there was very long inner monologues that lasted chapters. It was like I was reading someone diary instead of a book. I wasn't going through the day to day stuff with the characters, they were telling me what happen after it happen. For example, after Raine and her sister Claire go through a terrible accident, Raine tells the reader what has happen in a very long, very drawn out monologue instead of me experiencing it with her. I wanted to see more dialogue between the characters. I don't see how Raine and Deigo were suppose to be in love when I think throughout the whole book, they maybe talked to each other 3 times.

I thought there was too much back story. Sometime it can be a good thing but in this case it was bad. The author would tell the back story over and over again, every chance she got. And it was like this with every character. Every character in the book had something horrible happen to them and made them the way they were. It didn't work. There was too much going on in everyone's lives. Too much information.

The different POVs were too much. I can understand having the main couple Raine and Diego's POVs but everyone else was too much. It was too many people and really unnecessary.

The grammar, spelling and the run on sentences drove me crazy. The author is in need of a good editor. At times, I felt I was reading a story my 7 year old niece wrote instead of a published author. The plot could have been really good starting point for a great book but this author just didn't know what the heck she was doing.
