I am in the process of building a new website!
However this process is taking so much longer than what I thought it would. So in the mean time I have about 2 to 3 books to review prior to the launch of the new website! Really excited to share with you all this new journey into the book world!
I will be posting here until we're ready to rock with the new site!
With love,

Here's a blog for my fellow book lovers and bibliophiles to come and chat about what I'm reading, what you're reading and what you think I should read, and our feels. Feel free to stop by, comment, and follow. :)

After the Game by Abbi Glines
Blurb:
Two years ago, Riley Young fled from Lawton, Alabama. After accusing the oldest Lawton son, Rhett, of rape, everyone called her a liar and she had no option but to leave. Now she’s back, but she’s not at Lawton High finishing up her senior year. She’s at home raising the little girl that no one believed was Rhett’s.
Rhett is off at college living the life he was afraid he’d lose with Riley’s accusation, so Riley agrees to move back to Lawton so she and her parents could take care of her grandmother, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s. But the town still hasn’t forgotten their hate for her, and she hasn’t forgotten the way they turned on her when she needed them most.
When town golden boy Brady Higgens finds Riley and her daughter, Bryony, stranded on the side of the road in a storm, he pulls over and gives them a ride. Not because he cares about Riley, of course, but because of the kid.
But after the simple car ride, he begins to question everything he thought he knew. Could Brady believe Riley and risk losing everything?

The Wrath & The Dawn ~ Renee Ahdieh
The Wrath & the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
YOU GUYS!
This was a chance encounter. I walked into B&N looking for a specific book that they didn't have. On my way out I spotted this beautiful, beautiful gem. I picked her up and read the back and it tickled my fancy so I got it. And I'm so GLAD i did.
I devoured this book in under 2 hours. Could not put it down. This book took me and my emotions for a topsy turvy ride. And I enjoyed every minute of it, so much so I couldn't wait for the physical copy of the sequel I ordered it as soon as I finished from the apple store.
Do yourself a favor and read this book. Its got romance, action, mystery, thrills, betrayal, sacrifice, hard choices, and . . . JUST TRUST ME. You want to read this. You do. And if you don't then, it just cant be your cup of tea. Renee seriously knew what she was doing here. She weaved an amazing tale that I'm elated to pass on and around to my circle.
slight spoiler: I've seen a lot of people judging saying that the prince gets off too easy. Considering what he endures and what he goes through towards the end of the book and for more than half of the second book I believe he didn't. In no way am I saying he's atoned and guilt free but I'm just saying he does suffer, or at least that's how I perceived it.

Jaak and Ilse: A Dutch Billionaire Love Story ~ Marian Tee
Ok all so I have so many Marian books to review... well publish Mondays will be Marian Tee Mondays for the rest of the year. Min 1 review Max 3. Hope you enjoy .
Jaak and Ilse: A Dutch Billionaire Love Story by Marian Tee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Alrighty then!
Marian. Marian. Marian.
via GIPHY
Jaak and Ilse was the cutest love story to me. And then I got pissed.
I wont spoil it but I really found myself ready to have words with JAAK over his hot then cold then hot self. I wanted to shake some sense into him. And then shake some sense into Ilse. She deserved better.... loads and loads better. However I was happy for them once the book was over. She was with the man she loved and I respect that.
But I think the next book if the guy is as. . . I don't even have the words for Jaak, if he sucks as much as Jaak did and our girl just takes it, I'll be emailing you asking why. Clearly I'm still a little salty for Ilse. I'll live.
via GIPHY
This was a good book guys, just certain things resonated within me throughout it and it made me very passionate about what Ilse deserved and what she didn't.
Read it.

Once She Dreamed ~ Abbi Glines
Once She Dreamed by Abbi Glines
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Ok, where to start on this book. . .
It was good. This was the kind of book where you're not sure if you want to keep reading and once you get into it all the way it's more than halfway over. And although its not that big of a cliffhanger because I wanted more from the story, the ending left me bereft and in need of a pick me up due to the mother of all cliffhangers. OKAY, I joke, but not really. I have so many questions.... WHO? WHAT? WHEN,ABBI, WHEN? WHYYYYYY?!?! How does this even work!!! This story is shrouded in mystery and my little heart cant take it.
On a serious note! The lessons that our main character is going to have to learn are lessons that every girl/woman must learn. I am eager to see where this takes us, and hopeful for a better man, I mean better understanding next book!
At first I was all into the mysterious guy who flirted but towards the end of the book, I think our girl is better off with someone else. IJS ok I'm done with this review. Sorry I jumped around but at least now you feel a small fraction of what I felt once I finished this one. BUT 4 stars!

Until the End ~ Abbi Glines
Until the End by Abbi Glines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Will totally reread this one again and again. It was awesome to see how everyone is doing in their ever afters. Truth be told I am waiting with baited breath for what could be the crossover story Mrs. Glines gave us a hint of at the end. Overall this was awesome and yes it inspired me to go back to the beginning and work my way to the end all over again....
P.S. PLEASE MRS GLINES I NEED THAT CROSSOVER IN MY LIFE BEFORE JESUS RETURNS
signed,
a long time fan
xoxo

Yuri - Marian Tee
YURI
by:
Marian Tee
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
So of the heart racer series this is one of my favorites.
Yuri takes the angel and an angel in disguise and brings them together in a perfectly balanced way.
This story starts off rough! Our main character Kalliope Antoinue has a very rough beginning that leaves her under the impression that she is unlovable. Yuri's life has left him believing that he's heartless. You can imagine my frustration with the pair of them the entire book!
How can someone as sweet, pure, kind, and loving believe she's unlovable? How can someone who repeatedly steps out of his box just to make said girl feel at ease and calm around him think he's heartless!!!
But I digress. This story was amazing. Yuri literally pisses me off with his pretending but not really situation! In the end this book has a strong message of getting out of the way of love. Let it do its work.
READ IT PEOPLE. Its Marian Tee. She never disappoints me.
