Summary:

Lisa is a card-carrying, book-lovingGryffindor. Solid. And that’s why everyone knows she’s awesome. Well, exceptfor her crush, Matt. He only ever sees her as a friend. Plus, he’s got his eyeon another girl. Oh well, plenty of fish and all that. 

Good thing Lisa just read a book on the “wedding ring phenomenon”—you get moreattention when you’re already taken. What if Lisa pretends to be Matt’s plusone? Maybe it’ll help Matt get his girl and Lisa can hook her own fish. 

After the plan works, Matt suddenly claims he doesn’t like the view from thefriend-zone and wants her instead… But she isn’t interested in being anyone’ssecond choice. If this guy wants to earn her attention, he’ll need more thansome silly “phenomenon.” 

He’ll need to go all out… 

My Review:

I have noticed a fewtimes that I have read books and it being the second or in the third in the series.I really need to pay more attention to that, so that I get the full affect ofthe book and I’m not missing out on anything. Now onto my review.

This was a cute bookthat I was able to read quickly which I enjoyed.

Lisa is a senior in highschool works hard to get good grades and is a book nerd. She loves Harry Potter(awesome right?) she has also had a crush on Matt for a while now.

Matt is also a seniorin high school, but he is the complete opposite to Lisa he is kind of a slackerin school and he also works for is family landscaping business.

How theirrelationship begins is because they come up with an idea for faking dating. Oneday Matt says to Lisa that they should become more then friends they should becomefake boyfriend and girlfriend just so that he can get the attention of anothergirl that he likes. Lisa didn’t want to at the beginning but in the end, shedecided that she would to see if it would get the attention of a boy that shelikes. Sounds familiar ya? Its like To All the Boys I Loved Before.

Once things start togo good Matt asks Lisa to be his girlfriend for real because he doesn’t want tofake date her any more. Now Lisa has the hard choice of who she wants to bewith, Will it be Matt, or will it be Trey?

Summary:

Charlie Grant’s older sister is getting married this weekend at their family home, and Charlie can’t wait for the first time in years, all four of her older siblings will be under one roof. Charlie is desperate for one last perfect weekend, before the house is sold and everything changes. The house will be filled with jokes and games and laughs again. Making decisions about things like what college to attend and reuniting with longstanding crush Jesse Foster all that can wait. She wants to focus on making the weekend perfect.

The only problem? The weekend is shaping up to be an absolute disaster. There’s the unexpected dog with a penchant for howling, house alarm that won’t stop going off, and a papergirl with a grudge.

There are the relatives who aren’t speaking, the (awful) girl her favorite brother brought home unannounced, and a missing tuxedo. Not to mention the neighbor who seems to be bent on sabotage and a storm that is bent on drenching everything. The justice of the peace is missing. The band will only play covers. The guests are all crazy. And the wedding planner’s nephew is unexpectedly, distractedly cute.

Over the course of three ridiculously chaotic days, Charlie will learn more than she ever expected about the family she thought she knew by heart. And she’ll realize that sometimes, trying to keep everything like it was in the past means missing out on the future. 

My Review:

I have read 2 other books by Morgan Second Chance Summer and Since You Been Gone, and I really enjoyed both of those so I thought that I would tackle this one.

Charlie wants to go to collage but she isn’t sure she wants to leave her family yet (I can understand that), so she is thinking of going to a collage that is closer to home and he older sister is getting married. The best thing about getting married is that all the family comes together, and Charlie is dying to have one amazing weekend before there family home gets sold, but that didn’t happen. The things that followed and everything that came together was just a disaster it was just one thing after another like the Wedding Planner decides not to show to lots of family drama. I felt bad for Charlie. Despite all of that and more there was still a wedding, and everyone had a great time.

I liked how this book was more family based then romance based because a lot of YA books are all about the romance so this one was nice for a change. The family interactions kept me smiling and laughing.

Summary:

A year ago, she begged me to stay.
A year later, it’s my turn to beg her not to go.
My obsession. My downfall.
I tried to resist, to keep her at a distance.
I tried to save myself.
But no one will be saved here, not even a selfish bastard like me. 
My life has always been about sport and family, including my stupid brothers. Until that night, the night I made the worst decision of my life. And I’m still paying the price for it.
We both are.
But the time has come to take back control of the situation, to risk it all, to convince her to let me in, because she can’t be anything other than mine. 

I am Ian O’Connor, and I’m about to accept this challenge: to try and hold on to the only woman I’ll ever be able to love.
And even if I already know how this badly written romance is going to end, I won’t back away. This time, I’m going all the way. Because I only want her.
And I have no intention of losing her.

I’m an O’Connor, and the O’Connors never lose.

My Review:

A.S. Kelly does another amazing job with this book.

Ian is a professional Rugby player and Riley works in a Cinema which I think is pretty awesome job. At some moments they seem like an unlikely pair because of there differences but the fact that Riley’s brother is the one that gets them back together is really sweet of him. Ian has an interesting back story and one interesting family dynamic. I love that about him.

I loved Ian he was just someone that I wanted to go into the book and just be able to give him a hug.

I can’t wait to read the next book in the series and see what happens with Ryan.

Summary:

Treyan lived his life bound by duty and honor, believing his future as told by the Prophecy of Fire and Light. Even after he found his Empress, he felt he was doing as he was foretold and in the best interest for the Empire. But when his own brother threatens to ruin all he holds dear, Treyan discovers it’s love, and not duty or honor, that drives him to question everything he once knew.

My Thoughts:

I did enjoy this novella I felt like it had more depth then Reylor. I will be adding Two Thousand Years to my TBR so that I can’t get to know Treyan’s story more and after finishing this I do have a lot of unanswered questions. I think the only way to get the answers is to read the first book. Which I haven’t done yet. I will be adding it to my tbr.

When I do finish Two Thousand Years. I will come and give this a proper review, because then I will know the boys better.
