Summary:

Jameson 
I let her slip through my fingers…
No, that’s a lie. I was reckless and pushed her away.
I was never supposed to fall for her. She was my tutor. My best friend. My fantasy. I tried to stay away. I failed.
Then we graduated and everything changed. All I needed was a step back. A moment to breathe… And by the time I came up for air, she was in the arms of another man.
Four years later, everything is different. And when I see her again, I remember why I should have never let her go in the first place.

Lyric 
It started on day one…
New school. New life. And there he was, the boy I grew up with, walking up the steps of my very first class. Except now, the boy from my memories was gone, and his place was an Adonis of a man.
It didn’t take much for me to fall for him. Even though I knew we were doomed from the start. But when you find something that perfect, you don’t second guess it.
Until it ends.
Four years later, he’s back. Steamrolling through my life like he never broke my heart to begin with. Only this time, I’m older, wiser and know that second chances are the stuff of fairytales.

 

My Thoughts:

I absolutely adored this book. I didn’t want to finish it. I wanted to stay in the world of Jameson and Lyric.

They grew up together, they met in their kindergarten class. This happen, and they went their different ways and meet up again in collage. There relationship begins when they are in the same class and Jameson askes her to help him study. When he didn’t need the help he just wanted to spend time with her. As time goes on their feeling begin to deepen and they try to deny it. At Christmas break there stuck at Jameson’s place because there is a big storm coming, that’s when their relationship starts to develop into something that I can only explain as wonderful. There relationship does have its ups and downs because they end up spending months apart due to there jobs. I loved how realistic it was.

4 years pass, and Jameson has a ton of regret, Lyric had shed a lot of tears. The big question is can Jameson prove to Lyric that he made a mistake? Can Lyric forgive him? You’ll have to read it and find out.

This is my first book that I have read by Saman and I don’t think that it will be my last. She made these characters feel real and they had there flaws just like everybody.

Title:  All I Want

Author: Megan Lowe

Page count: 150

Published: June 2 2018

Publisher:  Hot Tree Publishing

Genre: LGBT

Received: E-Arc

Purchase: Amazon

Rating: 3.75/5

Summary:
Bishop Royal is a sleaze. He’s a cheat, a copycat, a bastard. He knows what you think of him and he doesn’t care. All he cares about is his best friend, Jake.

Jake Ellis has loved Bishop Royal for sixteen years. He’s been by his side through everything: deaths, hardships, and triumphs.

When Bishop’s life is pulled out from underneath him, he figures with nothing left to lose, it’s time to tell Jake how he feels.

Under pressure to be the picture-perfect boyfriend and his father’s perfect son, will Bishop fold or go after the only thing he’s ever truly wanted?

My Thoughts:

This is the first time that I have read a book by Megan and I loved it. This is also the first time that I have read a MM romance book an I don’t think that it could have gotten any better. I was a little sad that I was able to read this book on one sitting. I wish that I made it last longer. This book was more about Bishop than Jake. Which I was fine with.  Bishop he is always trying to get his fathers approval when really, I can understand but at some point, no. Bishops dad is a jerk to say the least. Bishop also deals with sex, drugs and alcohol when his life gets flipped upside down. He gets fired from his BMX team among other things. To see him fall a get back up again was truly heartbreaking.  Jake and Bishop I enjoyed how there friendship turned into a romantic relationship.  All in all, I enjoyed this quick read. If you’re into MM books then I say you should defiantly pick this one up. With this book being the 5th in the series I was a little worried that maybe I might be missing something but I didn’t feel like that and I loved that. Because sometimes reading a book in the middle of the series you can get a little confused.

Title: Fifty Shades Freed

Author: E.L James

Page count: 597

Published: April 2012

Genre: Romance, Erotica

Rating: 2.5/5

Summary:

When unworldly student Anastasia Steele first encountered the driven and dazzling young entrepreneur Christian Grey it sparked a sensual affair that changed both of their lives irrevocably. Shocked, intrigued, and, ultimately, repelled by Christian’s singular erotic tastes, Ana demands a deeper commitment. Determined to keep her, Christian agrees.

Now, Ana and Christian have it all—love, passion, intimacy, wealth, and a world of possibilities for their future. But Ana knows that loving her Fifty Shades will not be easy, and that being together will pose challenges that neither of them would anticipate. Ana must somehow learn to share Christian’s opulent lifestyle without sacrificing her own identity. And Christian must overcome his compulsion to control as he wrestles with the demons of a tormented past.

Just when it seems that their strength together will eclipse any obstacle, misfortune, malice, and fate conspire to make Ana’s deepest fears turn to reality.

My Thoughts:

Was I happy when the series ended yes because I just found Ana to be extremely annoying throughout the whole series. Until the last little bit of this book I found her to be less annoying. Maybe even tolerable at some points.

They are now married an have traveled to amazing places.

I did want to give up on this series but like I have said before I had the box set and thought why not it couldn’t get much worse right?

After reading this entire series I have to say that in imo it would have been better as just a standalone. Having the other 2 were just unnecessary.

For all of you that plan to read this, go into it with an open mind and maybe just then you will enjoy it.

This is one absolutely beautifully written heartbreaking story I have read. It’s one of my favourite books. You get wrapped up in the characters and you feel what they feel. The emotions are so raw an real.

–

The story starts with Reagan writing letters to her husband and wanting him to come home since he is in the military. He sadly doesn’t come home. Just as your getting into Reagan’s story you go into Derek’s and a promise he made so he decides to visit Texas. Reagan and Derek are dealing with grief in their own ways but they come together and help one another in such a beautiful way.

–

This was such a beautiful story I absolutely loved it.
