Summary:

Our entire world has been turned upside down after a few nights of passion.

Love is in the air, commitments are being made, careers are being abandoned—nothing is easy. Except our sexual chemistry. Which is off-the-charts hot. But is it JUST chemistry, or is it more? We both want it to be more, but the question is, which one of us is going to be the first to risk heartbreak in order to find out? We both have dark pasts that are holding us back and may keep us from true happiness.

Intense sexual connection is easy…love, commitment, and figuring out the future? Well…that’s a whole lot harder.

And it’s twice as hard when you’re twins

My Thoughts:
I thought that the first book about the twins was intense oh boy! This one this picks up from where the last one ended. You definitely get hooked from the first chapter. This one is Canaan and Aerie’s story. Their story is more serious than Tate and Corin. This book will have you on an emotional roller coaster and you don’t want to get off because you want to see it through.

I absolutely love this series, Jasinda Wilder does not disappoint. The Badd brothers are some of my favourite brothers.
I can’t wait to read Lucian’s story!

Summary:

Violet

When my mum gets sick, I volunteer to fill in for her and clean some hot jock’s penthouse. I’ve heard all the rumors about him, so the plan is get in, clean some toilet bowls, and get out. After my last experience with a “sports hero,” I’m done with that sort of guy.

But Lucas Carter is full of surprises. He wants to help me clean and is nothing like the toad the press has made him out to be. Resistance may be futile for some girls, but not me. Then he asks me to help him with the interior design of his new place. I can’t say, no. It’s going to look great on my resume.

Unfortunately, spending time with Lucas is dangerous. He’s so charming and sweet, but I can’t let myself forget––once a player, always a player.

 

My Thoughts:

This is the first book that I have read by Christina and it was so good. The guy on the cover is smokin!

This was a fast-paced book that was filled with lots of chemistry between Lucas and Violet. It may only be a few hundred pages but there’s a lot packed into it.

Lucas has some insecurities, while reading you can really feel what he’s going through. I found that Violet was the perfect match for him because she balanced all that out.

Lucas is quite the charmer I loved reading about him.

This is one of my shorter reviews because I don’t want to spoil to much of the story.

Summary:

Everyone thinks they know Libby Strout, the girl once dubbed “America’s Fattest Teen.” But no one’s taken the time to look past her weight to get to know who she really is. Following her mom’s death, she’s been picking up the pieces in the privacy of her home, dealing with her heartbroken father and her own grief. Now, Libby’s ready: for high school, for new friends, for love, and for every possibility life has to offer. In that moment, I know the part I want to play here at MVB High. I want to be the girl who can do anything. 

Everyone thinks they know Jack Masselin, too. Yes, he’s got swagger, but he’s also mastered the impossible art of giving people what they want, of fitting in. What no one knows is that Jack has a newly acquired secret: he can’t recognize faces. Even his own brothers are strangers to him. He’s the guy who can re-engineer and rebuild anything, but he can’t understand what’s going on with the inner workings of his brain. So he tells himself to play it cool: Be charming. Be hilarious. Don’t get too close to anyone.

Until he meets Libby. When the two get tangled up in a cruel high school game—which lands them in group counseling and community service—Libby and Jack are both pissed, and then surprised. Because the more time they spend together, the less alone they feel. Because sometimes when you meet someone, it changes the world, theirs and yours.

My Thoughts:
This book follows a girl named Libby and boy named Jack. Libby was formally “Americas fattest teen”. After her mom passed that’s when her whole life changed. Then one day after she has lost a significant amount of weight she decides that she wants to go back to school after being home school for so long.

Jack has everything in high school that he could want lots of friends and a pretty girlfriend. There is one secret that he has been hiding from everyone. Is that he can’t recognize peoples faces. Me personally I don’t know how I would handle that waking up every morning and not be able to recognize my family. That’s what Jack must do every day an he has found tips and tricks to remember peoples face. It turns out that Libby is the one that helps him because she is the only one that knows about it.

I loved how these two came together and there ending is kind of perfect if you ask me. This book has so many important messages behind it that everyone should read it.

This is a very unique story I don’t think that there are others like it, if there is I haven’t found them but I would love to read them. I completely fell in love it the whole idea is beautiful I just can’t get enough of it. I know that I will be for sure reading this in the future

Download today to continue the third installment of Jace and Laura’s exciting journey towards saving the world and finding love!

My Thoughts:
Jase loves Laura so much that he is willing to go to purgatory just to save her. Will he be able to save her in time? I loved that all the characters from the previous books are in this one. At the end of this book my heart just breaks for Jase. I was also surprised that we got to see a different side of Alex/ Urban I think I like this side of him. This is such a great third instalment, I can’t wait to read the next book.

Summary:

Two sets of gorgeous twins, a weekend alone together in a remote, picturesque, rural cabin with plenty of alcohol…what could possibly go wrong?

Figuring out the blurred lines and tangled mess of relationships grown out of a deep, lifelong friendship that is now somehow exploding with sexual chemistry…along with a very real subtext of something MORE? A four-way, multi-directional attraction between you and your twin and the other two twins who’ve been your best friends your whole life and are now suddenly sexy as hell and VERY into you, and your twin?

Can it be double the pleasure and double the fun, or is it just double the pain and double the heartache?

My Thoughts:
Tate and her identical twin sister Aerie have been Super models since they were sixteen it was there mother’s dream not there’s. Now with them being in collage they had an incident with one of the photographers and they quit. Now their life is completely different they don’t know what to do with there lives. They call up their old friends Cannan and Corin they also happen to be identical twins. To see what they are up to. There rock stars making music back home they live in Alaska. While talking to the guys the girls decided they were going to go back home to Alaska and visit them and their Grandparents at there B&B. While there they hang out with the boys and things start to get heated between then and their Story begins. I loved seeing Tate and Corin’s side of the story. I can’t wait to see Aerie and Cannan’s side.
The ending though!!! Such a cliff hanger! I can’t wait for the next book to see where the story goes.

I was given this book for an honest review.
