Book Review – Crazy Good by Rachel Robinson

By 9 Comments

Crazy Good
Okay I’m gonna totally cliché out by saying (’cause I just can’t help myself) 😉 “Crazy Good is CRAZY GOOOOOOOD!!!!” I know probably every good review of this book (and it’s brother) starts with that very sentence but… I just… couldn’t have said it any better myself.

WOW! This book has it ALL and with just enough detail for every phase of this story to have me connecting. Affecting every one of my senses. Now to be fair, it already seemed to have everything going for it from that start. I couldn’t help but move it to the top of my TBR list when: read more

Book Review – Hard Time by Cara McKenna

Hard Time
While this does eventually turn into a book review below (LOL!), it’s also pretty much an ode to everything Cara McKenna (and her awesome stories). I couldn’t help myself. 😉 ‘Cause I love love L-O-V-E LOVE this author!! Have I told you yet? Of course I have, because with each new book she releases (and each older book I reminisce about) I blow up my blog with BIG LOVE for her. And lemme tell you… she never disappoints. I can’t even begin to choose which one of her books is my favorite because EACH of them has that *oomph* and unique “catch” that rocks my reading world. (P.S. I linked each of my “Cara McKenna” reviews below). read more

Book Review – Rock Bottom by R.K. Lilley

By 9 Comments

Rock Bottom (Tristan & Danika #2)
SPOILER ALERT!!! Well not really spoilers, ’cause even I don’t know how this is going to end yet, but I do explore some of the drama in this book, and if you haven’t read #1 yet (my book review of Bad Things by R.K. Lilley (Tristan & Danika #1)), you have enough drama there to contend with,  first. LOL!!

Just know I am LOVING this angsty rock-star series, and if you love the “old school” New Adult indie-feel reads from a year or two year ago, this’ll be right up your alley! read more

Book Review – Bad Things by R.K. Lilley

Bad Things (Tristan & Danika #1)
Bad things is deliciously loaded in all of the good things (er… good “bad” things) 😉 that I love about books. So it was good? No. It was AWESOME!!!

OMG, you guys!!! Pheeeeewwww *fans self* This was pure “old-school” book-angst at it’s best! Steamy, sexy, jealousy, alpha-y and full-on hurty!

Old School? Yep! This story felt like one of my “old school” indie reads from about two years ago, when I first came upon all of the hidden indie-treasures, like Beautiful Disaster, Thoughtless, Rock Me, and Love Unscripted, just to name a few. read more
