Summary:

Bianca

Pretty things don’t distract me. In my line of work, a distraction will get you caught. Or in my case, blackmailed. But this isn’t the only time I’ve been hustled, and soon Connor Hayes will learn that men are only pawns in my end game. I don’t love. I hate. Even a pretty boy like him. 

Hayes

Two wrongs don’t make a right. Except when they are five-foot-seven and hotter than my exhaust pipe. So, I blackmailed her. It was either that or turn her in. And if anyone was going to put her in handcuffs, it was going to be me. Bianca Morgan stole the only woman I’ve ever loved. It’s only fair she replace her.

My Thoughts:

Omg Kristy you have out done yourself again with this one. I read this book in one sitting it’s that amazing. The opening scene with Hayes was wonderful. 

Hayes is one of those guys that you cane help but fall in love with. I knew it was going to be good but this excited my expectations. This book is filled with so much chemistry between Hayes and Bianca. They may have started off to a rough patch but in the end they were swoon worthy and I couldn’t get enough.

Getting to know Bianca and seeing the person that she had become due to things in her past made her a badass she’s got a good sense of humour and a good match for Hayes.

When Hayes was introduced into to us in the previous books, I knew there was something extra special about him but I couldn’t put my finger on it until I read this an now that I know, I absolutely love him, not as much as Theo mind you but he’s up there.

If you haven’t read this series I definitely recommend that you do. You’ll love all the men in this series.

Summary:

Ari 
When you’re young you think you know it all. I was fortunate enough to live in a world where poverty was just something I’d heard of, but never experienced. Until, I took a chance on the boy from the wrong side of the tracks. The chemistry undeniable. Our worlds collided and I fell hard, we both did. I needed him to stay and when he didn’t, it broke my heart. So, I grew up and moved on. I didn’t know who I was back then, or what I was up against. But I do now. I won’t make the same mistakes. 


Torren 
I made mistakes, I thought I knew what I was doing. Turns out sometimes loyalty and stupidity go hand in hand. I took the one thing I needed most, and I pushed her away with my actions. Sent her running in the opposite direction is more like it. When fate brings us together again, I desperately want to make things right, prove to her that I’m not that guy anymore. Time has done nothing to put out the fire between us, but she has no plans to let me be a part of her future. I’m about to change that.

My Thoughts:

I absolutely loved, this book. Torren works with his brother and Ari works for her dad and because of that they these two come together is a unique way. Torren needs help with something, and Ari is the one to help. With them hanging out more and more they were having a great time and falling in love.

That’s until one night they are hanging out with friends and Torren needs to borrow his friend’s car. They get pulled over and the officer that pulls Ari and Torren over has had it in with Torren for years. Some things happen and Torren gets arrested and gets sent to prison for a little while. When he gets out, he’s loving his life, until one day he meets Ari again and all their feelings flood back. So, trying to be co-workers is a little difficult at first. Until one day something changes.

This book will make you laugh and cry. Say OMG, Nooooo and many more. If you’re into second chance romance, then this is the book for you.

Summary:

Jesse Lachlin is cursed. 

So the town folklore says, but while Jesse’s had his fair share of tragedy, the only curse he believes is in his grandmother’s will: in order to inherit his family farm he must win the approval of his childhood best friend, the girl he froze out his freshman year, Scarlett Copeland.

Scarlett Copeland is psychic.

Glory Gardner tells Scarlett she has hidden psychic abilities, but Scarlett thinks Glory is delusional. What is real is Scarlett’s father’s irrational fears, controlling attitude, and the dark secrets at home. Scarlett may have a way to escape, but there’s a hitch: she’ll have to rely on the one person she used to trust, the same boy who broke her heart, Jesse Lachlin.

Each midnight meeting pushes Jesse and Scarlett to confront their secrets and their feelings for each other. But as love blooms, the curse rears its ugly head… 

My Thoughts:

Katie Mcgarry is one of my favourite authors. After I read her Pushing the Limits series, I knew I wanted to read all the books she puts out.

There are some trigger warnings in this book. There is talk about abuse – physical and verbal.

This story was truly emotional in every way, making me laugh one minute and the next want to ugly cry. I love that about Katie’s writing style. She gets you right in the feels and the story resonates with you for a while.

Jessie and Scarlett both have gut reaction stories that they both have to over come, I won’t go into to much detail because i don’t want to ruin it for you. Jessie’s grandmother recently dies and in her will has left a piece of land to him but there’s a catch before he gets it. Scarlet lives with a abusive/controlling father, but will he let her follow her dreams? I think you all should check out there love story if your looking for a truly emotional read.

Summary:

Beth’s life hasn’t been thesame since her sister died. Her parents try to lock her down, believing theycan keep her safe by monitoring her every move. When Beth sneaks out to a partyone night and meets the new guy in town, Chase, she’s thrilled to make a secretfriend. It seems a small thing, just for her.

Only Beth doesn’t know how big her secret really is…

Fresh out of juvie and determined to start his life over,Chase has demons to face and much to atone for, including his part in the nightBeth’s sister died. Beth, who has more reason than anyone to despise him, iswilling to give him a second chance. A forbidden romance is the last thingeither of them planned for senior year, but the more time they spend together,the deeper their feelings get.

Now Beth has a choice to make—follow the rules, or risktearing everything apart…again.

My Thoughts:

Beth is a 17-year-oldsenior year of high school and her parents are extremely controlling and aretrying to suffocate her at the same time, because of her sister’s death. They don’twant the same thing to happen her. So, they have taken extreme precautions to “protect”her. One night she decides that she wants to go to a party. In doing so shemeets Chase and there is an instant pull between the two of them.

Chase is the new badboy at school he did something that will always loom over his head. Beth shouldstay away from him but there is a pull the two of them have that they both can’tfight. Aside from having a few classes together they are always around oneanother. Chase thinks they he doesn’t deserve her but, he does.

These two are an unlikelypair to say the least, but I get why they are together. Things at first are complicatedto say the least but when they get past all that they have a beautiful relationship.I loved how this story ended. I think it was a little rushed, but it all came togetherbeautifully.
