Summary:

A Hollywood Romance

Ellen Legend wants nothing to do with her famous family or their Hollywood lifestyle. She’s content to take her outrageous IQ and photographic memory and become a surgeon. But when her dream seems to disappear and her famous father becomes ill, she is required to deal with Webber Connor, her father’s agent. A Hollywood agent with cars, parties, and women on his mind, Webber is admittedly in love with his lifestyle. With a wicked sense of humor and an outrageous way with words, Webber is the guy who says it like it is, but when Webber comes face to face with the brainiac Ellen Legend, he is nearly at a loss for words. Sizzling heat, two different lifestyles, but a fierce passion that neither Ellen nor Webber can deny–Impossible Glamour takes you on a tour of the film industry that only a Hollywood insider can provide.

My Thoughts:

I am absolutely loving this series, I haven’t read them all just yet but the ones that I have read are amazing. I have been dying to read Webbers story.

Ellen is independent which I love in a female lead an something that I was shocked to read was that she wanted nothing to do with the family legacy considering who her family was. She was studying at a med school to become a doctor. She wanted to live her own life.

Webber is a Hollywood agent he also loves woman, money an cars. He has a great sence of humor that made me laugh a lot.

Ellen and Webber live completely different life styles, yet they are able to make there relationship work.

I think Webber is my favourite, it was Rhett but now that I got to dive into Webber’s story I think he took his place.

Summary:

Proceeds from pre-orders go to No More – domestic violence & sexual assault charity

Jake
I know she’s lying the moment I see her.
That her name is as fake as her story. She’s barged into my life like a beautiful nightmare, turning everything upside down.
It hasn’t stopped me from trying to help her. Protect her. Save her from the threats that seem to come out of nowhere.
She’s put my entire world at risk. My reputation. My business. My livelihood.
But Mia brought me back to life. And I will do anything to save hers.

Mia
I was running for my life the night I met Jake.
Broken down on the road to nowhere. Lost. Homeless. Scared out of my mind.
I don’t care. I’m willing to risk it all to start over. Desperate to hide and never be found again.
But it doesn’t take much for Jake to break down my defenses. A soft word. A gentle touch. He becomes mine, but more importantly, I become his.
Until the nightmare of my past shows up, pissed off as hell…

*This book contains material that might be offensive for some or elicit a strong emotional response.

My Thoughts:

Before I get into my review I just want to say that the pre orders of this book will be donated to a domestic violence and sexual assault charity which I think is amazing. Now onto my review I hope to keep spoiler free because this is such a powerful book that I think you all need to check out.

Oh my gosh. I loved this book, Jake was dare I say the perfect hero for Mia and maybe my next bookboyfriend? Well I think I will because he was. There wasn’t anything that he wouldn’t do to protect her.

Mia was on the run from her current life, she had no idea where she was going an only had a little bit of money with her. I applaud her for leaving her situation and being able to find a wonderful guy like Jake.

Summary:

Former teen star, Trick Williams, wants nothing to do with Hollywood. Supermodel, Sophia Legend, wants the Hollywood High Life. Can two people who want such different things find their way to love?

My Thoughts:

This series is pretty amazing. You getting to step into the Hollywood life. This time around we follow Trick and Sophia.

Sophia is the daughter to Hollywood Star Steve Legend. She is breaking into the world of fame as a model and due to certain things that happen it ends quickly. In the matter of what happened she needs Choo and her PR team to help get her back to the good side. In doing so she is volunteering at an animal shelter which happens to be owned by a former Hollywood Star Trick.

Trick… I don’t think there was anything that I didn’t love about him. He was had some terrible things that happened to him and he came out on top. I complete understood why he left Hollywood in the first place.

I am a huge fan of this series. I think you should all check it out.

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.

Rating:  4/5

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.
