My Thoughts:

Holy moly. I can’t believe that were actually at the end of the series. This has been a world wind of emotions.
I’m going to try an keep this spoiler free as possible.
This book picks up were the last one ends, it was wonderful to see all the things that Lizzy went though in the series. She had some wonderful things happen but she also that some terrible things happen in the end Lizzy was a kick ass female and didn’t let anything keep her down.
There are so many elements to this story, Ava does an amazing job at keeping people interested with her writing style.
I defiantly recommend this book for you all to check out. It’s free with Kindle Unlimited.

Summary:

Louisa Clark is an ordinary young woman living an exceedingly ordinary life—steady boyfriend, close family—who has never been farther afield than their tiny village. She takes a badly needed job working for ex-Master of the Universe Will Traynor, who is wheelchair-bound after an accident. Will has always lived a huge life—big deals, extreme sports, worldwide travel—and now he’s pretty sure he cannot live the way he is.

Will is acerbic, moody, bossy—but Lou refuses to treat him with kid gloves, and soon his happiness means more to her than she expected. When she learns that Will has shocking plans of his own, she sets out to show him that life is still worth living.

A love story for this generation, Me Before You brings to life two people who couldn’t have less in common—a heartbreakingly romantic novel that asks, What do you do when making the person you love happy also means breaking your own heart?

My Thoughts:

Did I enjoy this book? Yes. Did I cry? Yes. This book through me for a loop. One minute I was smiling a laughing and the next think that I notice I’m on the verge of crying and possible ugly cry because of the things that Lou and Will went through. I wanted to read the book before I watched the movie and when I did get to the movie I knew what was going to happen, so I was getting all emotional before certain things did happen.

Will’s story is heart breaking because he used to be an active guy a then next thing that he knows he’s in a wheel chair, he feels trapped and wants to be able to do the things that he used to. He just wants to find a way out.

Lou she is such a sweet person. She lost her job as a waitress and she was looking for another job because she still lives at home where everyone there depends on her. By chance Will’s mom is looking for a new care taker for her son and when she meets Lou she thinks that she is going to be the perfect fit.

When Will and Lou first meet Will doesn’t make it easy for Lou, but she doesn’t let it get to her because she is happy working for him. Well that is until she over hears a conversation that will says that he’s giving her 6 months and after that he is going to go to Switzerland. With finding this out she is first wanting to quit her job but then she decides that she is going to change his mind.

When Lou starts to get feelings towards Will and he gave her, her favourite pair of socks I cried. A little while later in the story when Lou tells Will about her feelings Will’s response gutted me because I didn’t think he was going to react that way.

The ending though????????? WHY????? I couldn’t believe it. I really had hoped for a better outcome.

Summary:

Annie Mathers is America’s sweetheart and heir to a country music legacy full of all the things her Gran warned her about. Superstar Clay Coolidge is most definitely going to end up one of those things.

But unfortunately for Clay, if he can’t convince Annie to join his summer tour, his music label is going to drop him. That’s what happens when your bad boy image turns into bad boy reality. Annie has been avoiding the spotlight after her parents’ tragic death, except on her skyrocketing YouTube channel. Clay’s label wants to land Annie, and Clay has to make it happen.

Swayed by Clay’s undeniable charm and good looks, Annie and her band agree to join the tour. From the start fans want them to be more than just tour mates, and Annie and Clay can’t help but wonder if the fans are right. But if there’s one part of fame Annie wants nothing to do with, it’s a high-profile relationship. She had a front row seat to her parents’ volatile marriage and isn’t interested in repeating history. If only she could convince her heart that Clay, with his painful past and head over heels inducing tenor, isn’t worth the risk.

Erin Hahn’s thrilling debut, You’d Be Mine, asks: can the right song and the perfect summer on the road make two broken hearts whole?

My Thoughts:

There are some trigger warnings there’s mentions of suicide, alcoholism and drugs.

This book follows a girl named Annie who happens to be smart, genuine and  talented daughter of country music legends. One day there is something tragic that happens when she’s 13 and leaves Annie all alone and shocked from the event, she refuses to follow in her parents footsteps.

Clay and he is the country swoon worthy bad boy. He gets drunk and arrested one night an his music label makes a deal with him. But he needs to convince Annie to sign to there label, will he be able to? Or will she run because she doesn’t want to be in the spot light?

I this this would be a great summer read to sit at the beach and read.

If you are a fan of country music you will love this book. so make sure to check it out in 2019.

Buy now to dive into this sexy reverse harem world!

My Thoughts:

Okie, now that we are almost at the end of the series I’m going to try and give a spoiler free review, because I think you should all check this series out.

This book is packed with romance, danger and excitement. I feel more than the pervious books. Since were are in the sixth book now.

Elizabeth has the chance to go back to her pack and her vengeance that she’s always wanted. It’s not the easy, there are some losses. She needs to find out who can be trusted and who can’t be. There happens to be a cliffhanger which is a bummer but it’s a segway into book 7. Which I can’t wait to read.

Summay:

When a heart is broken, it withdraws, shielding itself from further pain, but also from further life.

Brandon Kuvat gave up on love ten years ago—the year he was set to become a dad. A wealthy playboy pilot, he still sees plenty of action, but he’s not the man he once was. Or the man he wishes he could be. The first time he encounters Jordan, he knows immediately she is different. He also knows hurting her is inevitable. Still, he can’t stay away, even if it means he’ll have to settle for a friendship—but only for as long as that can last.

Wounded by a disastrous relationship, Jordan Artesian has put her whole focus on work, nurturing her dreams of owning her own fashion line. But though her creativity blooms, the rest of her is still frozen, that is, until Brandon charms his way into her life. He’s irritating, but somehow…intriguing. She hates that she finds his charming and challenging ways attractive. He isn’t supposed to make her feel things she’s given up on feeling.

For these two, friendship will never be enough—not when she’s what he needs to heal, and he’s what she needs to feel again. But can they find their way down the path of friendship to truly love and trust one another, or will they only destroy each other’s hearts all over again?

My Thoughts:

After reading this book I have to say that I wasn’t a fan of how it ended. It made me feel like there is more to the story that hasn’t been said. So hopefully there is another on to this series.

In this book the relationship with Brandon and Jordan does go on for quite a bit even though the chemistry was there, it was all most coming off the pages. I was getting a little frustrated with Jordan and Brandon because I just wanted to yell at them to tell one another how they feel. To me also seemed like they were purposely trying to sabotage their “Relationship” on purpose but when it finally happened I was happy. While I was reading this I did feel a disconnect with Jordan, I did feel a connection more with Brandon.
