REVIEW
Reviewer: Kim
Rating: 5 Groupie Stars
This book has been my most anticipated book series of the year. I was worried I'd hyped it up so much that I'd be left disappointed but luckily it was just as amazing as I hoped.
I don't want to give much away about the story as it will ruin it for anyone who hasn't read it yet so my review is going to be short and not in-depth.
My favourite thing is books is angst and this book had it in bucket loads. It was Intense, full of drama, heavy romance, passion and smoking hot scenes throughout. As the characters are in their late teens you no the drama and angst is going to be very high while they work their way through things.
The story was fast paced and I found myself flying through the pages and reading all night as I couldn't bare to put it down. The secondary characters a deserve their own story which I hope they will after this series has completed. They really added to the story and made it even better. 
The whole story is about pushing boundaries and that's exactly what this story does.
Fantastic

Release Biltz & Review: Beyond the Bases by Kaylee Ryan




Title: Beyond the Bases
Author: Kaylee Ryan
Genre: New Adult
Release Date: July 31, 2018



Blurb

What happens when you want more in life than just running the bases? 
You hang out at home plate and stop playing the field.

He's sexy and irresistible. I've done my best to ignore the magnetism that flows between us. I don't need complications in my life. I can't get wrapped up in his world, the last thing I need is to get attached to a professional athlete. I don’t have time for heartbreak.

Something about her pulls me in. I want to get to know her. I want a chance to show her I'm more than just my career, my paycheck. I'm the man for her. I know I am. No matter how much she resists this connection between us. It doesn't change the fact that she’s my grand slam.

REVIEW
Rating: 4.5 Groupie Stars
What a sweet, sweet love story that I didn't want to end. 
Easton is the type of hero that's easy to fall for. He knows what he wants makes no apologies for it, and never gives up. 
Larissa hasn't always had it the easiest, but she takes care of her business and it's easy to see how strong she truly is. 
Paisley was a just an added bonus to Kaylee's amazing storytelling. 
This is the story of two people who happen to cross paths at the right time, and as much as Larissa fights it at first Easton is certainly persistent. 
I'd love Kaylee to write some more stories about Easton's teammates or maybe a grownup Paisley.

Blog Tour & Review: Four Day Fling by Emma Hart

blogtour.jpg

Four Day Fling, an all-new hilarious and romantic standalone from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Emma Hart is available NOW!

FOURDAYFLING3
Imagine this.
You’re ready to leave after a one-night stand, and you’re figuring out how to—shock horror—leave your number and ask him to be your fake boyfriend for your sister’s wedding this weekend.
When he wakes up.
Well, that happened to me. And over coffee and omelets, I found myself a date.
Which was how I ended up arriving at the wedding with a guy I knew nothing about.
I didn’t know his last name, or how we met, or how long we’d been dating. I didn’t know where he grew up, what he’d majored in in college, or how many siblings he had.
I sure as hell didn’t know he was Adam Winters, hotshot hockey player, and not only my father’s favorite player, but my little nephew’s freakin’ idol.
Which means I’m in trouble. Big, big trouble.
My mother is suspicious, my sister is bridezilla on crack, and my grandpa will tell anyone who’ll listen about his time in Amsterdam’s Red Light District.
Four days.
I have to keep this up for four days, and then Adam and I can return to our regular lives, where we don’t have sex whenever we’re alone, and my family aren’t interrogating him over his intentions with me.
At least, that’s the plan.
And we all know what happens to those.

Excerpt:
“Ready?” Adam strolled out of the bedroom, playing with the button on his shorts. “For lunch with my mother?” I turned and stared at him, expressionless. “I’m thrilled.” He laughed and adjusted the short sleeve of his white shirt. “It’s what—an hour? Then she’ll be back snapping at your sister’s ankles. Surely you can give Rosie a break for sixty whole minutes.” “Oh no. I’ve done that guilt trip my entire life. I’m not getting it from my fake boyfriend, too.” I waggled my finger at him before turning back to the mirror to finish my make-up. “And yes, I can give her a break, but it doesn’t mean I need to be happy about it.” “Do you ever get along?” “Yes. When I’m in Orlando and she’s in Key West.” “I mean when you’re together.” “In the same room together, or having a conversation together?” “Now you’re just being awkward, Red.” I brushed a final stroke of mascara over each of my eyes, then stopped, wand in hand, and met his eyes in the reflection of the mirror. “Given how you ended up here, I would have thought you knew that awkward was my default mode.” “That was cute-awkward. This is attitude-awkward.” “How do you know there’s a difference?” He pointed at himself. “Four sisters. I grew up with attitude-awkward. I could recognize it blindfolded with hands cuffed behind my back from two hundred miles away.” “Wow. Someone’s cocky.” “I thought we established that the night we met.” My cheeks flushed. Damn it. Why did I have to blush like an idiot? Oh, that’s right. I was a redhead and so pale I was a distant relative of Casper the Friendly Ghost, which meant you could see my blushing a mile off. “You’re adorable when you blush.” Adam grinned. “Thank God,” I drawled. “That was my life goal. Be adorable. Now, I can get it in neon lights over my bed.”


REVIEW
Rating: 4 Groupie Stars
I never thought I would ever say that there was too much sarcasm in an Emma Hart book, but I think this one did for me. I felt it kept distracting from the actual story.

Adam Winters first felt something for Poppy because she had no clue who he was, she didn’t care about his professional hockey player status. So when the opportunity presents itself to see her more, he takes it. Then life threw him for a loop when his feelings grew for her.

Poppy knew when the four day fling with Alex ended that was it. She wasn’t prepared to be in a relationship with someone who wasn’t home often and his profession as a hockey player made him leave for work.  But Poppy and Alex both have feelings grow for one another and when the ring ends they need to figure out what to do with the feelings left behind. 

I did like this story, it was humorous and sexy and I like the hero and heroine!! I only felt that it was distracting with all the humor, and I love rom coms!! Never the less I would 100% recommend this book to anyone who loves romantic comedies!!

About Everything Under the Sun:

Thais Fenwick was eleven-years-old when civilization fell, devastated by a virus that killed off the majority of the world’s population. For seven years, Thais and her family lived in a community of survivors deep in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains. But when her town is attacked by raiders, she and her blind sister are taken away to the East-Central Territory where she is destined to live the cruel and unjust kind of life her late mother warned her about. Atticus Hunt is a troubled soldier in Lexington City who has spent the past seven years trying to conform to the vicious nature of men in a post-apocalyptic society. He knows that in order to survive, he must abandon his morals and his conscience and become like those he is surrounded by. But when he meets Thais, morals and conscience win out over conformity, and he risks his rank and his life to help her. They escape the city and set out together on a long and perilous journey to find safety in Shreveport, Louisiana. Struggling to survive in a world without electricity, food, shelter, and clean water, Atticus and Thais shed their fear of growing too close, and they fall hopelessly in love.

Rating: 5 Groupie Stars
To those who know me, it is hard for me to give a five. I have reasonably hard time giving a 5. However this book deserves it. It is not often these days to get  a 3 out of me. However "Everything under the Sun" by Jessica Redmerski is one of the few books that I have read that deserves a 5. It is a well written and thought provoking book. This is the story of Thais and Atticus, Two young people swept up into a new future not of their choosing. When the fever hits Thais and her sister are eventually left alone by their parents. It is a horrible event but just a taste of what is to come. This book is not for the faint of heart. It is a painful, soul searching and truth revealing story. Thais and Atticus, who are the main characters, are brought together under horrible conditions, Yet somehow Thais wins Atticus's heart. The two of them take a journey fraught with peril and self realization as to who they are and the part they have to play in this new future of human society destroyed by sickness not just sickness of the body but of the heart and soul. This brings out the worst of a person, revealing the true nature of their souls. Thais and Atticus are shown momentary bits of peace and happiness, then reality steps in and reminds them that they are living in a dangerous, perception led world.
Do not read this book if you are squeamish, there is a lot of violence and disregard for human life. T in the heartw and minds of nehis book will open your eyes to the evil that lurks in the heart, soul and mind of men.
I will admit that this book tugged at the old heart strings. I actually cried at the end of this story. I have to say I will probably have to buy the second story in this series because I want to know if Thais and Atticus live into their now legendary adventure and are able to make a difference in the society that they are now a part of. I will be getting the 2 book because I  need to know how the story ends.

REVIEW
Rating: 4 Groupie Stars
I fell in love with MC books when I first fell in love with reading romance. I’ve never read this series before but I will definitely be buying the previous books and reading them!! 

Jake has seen his brothers find love and it has made his feelings of loss come forward! When Grace comes to town Jake makes it his mission to make her his. 

Grace is running from her past and when things got serious for her in Polson she ran, but when Jake tracks her down she has no choice but to tell her the secrets she’s kept hidden. When Jake doesn’t run when he finds out she realizes that Jake really does love her, but can Grace keep her past away from her present? 

I loved Jake and Grace! I was worried I would be confused since this was not book one in the series but I wasn’t lost at all!! I loved these two together and that Grace was so protective of her new family and friends and chose to make sacrifices for those she loved!!

But this book! Read this series!! If you love MC books you won’t be disappointed!!! 100% recommend!!!
