★My Review★

 

I will be honest here, the cover and the title is the reason I picked up this book. Then I read the blurb and I was a goner. I loved this book, it reminded me why I love reading. It was a total feel good book, and I find it at the right time.

The story started us off when Carter Reynold was 5 years old and his was cruelly addressed by his grandfather as a bastard. The word defined his whole life.

At the age of 17, his mother found her ‘happy ever after’ with her new husband. Although his mother was happy and some in love with her new husband, Carter was insulted and humiliated when she was not around to see it. Carter does not want to destroy his mother happiness so he bit his tongue and wait for the day when he gets to leave.

He then fell in love with his happy and lovable neighbor Indi Montgomery, he did give her a hard time, but she just turn him on more. Due to for fear of rejection by someone he cares about, he left without saying good bye to Indi.

Fast forward 5 years later, Carter is back and Indi has moved on. But his feel is still there and stronger, he just has to convince Indi that he loves her and he will stick around this time.

It was hard not to fall in love with carter and indi, I love their story, and they went through a lot together. Even through Carter could be an asshole, Indi gave as good as she got from Carter, their banter kept me very entertained.  I will be reading a lot more books from JL Perry, I enjoyed her wrote, she was able to draw me to her characters.

★My Review★

I have been looking forward to this book for about a year, I love Abbi Glines books and i wasn't disappointment at all. She has always be good with cute, ansty and intense story line, and she can write a great mean girl. I was expecting mean girl drama, and I was not disappointed.

 This book was a great read, it reminded of that movie with Kristen Stewart speak, but better.  It was an easy and light read. 

West Ashby the hero is the star football player, popular guy, and appears to have the perfect life, but  he is struggling with the secret of his father’s illness. None of his friend knows about his family life, and he has no one to talk to, until his best friend’s cousin Maggi moved to town.

Maggi also has her struggle, after witnessing a father kill her mother, she stop speaking to deal with her pain, and not have to talk about it. She hasn’t said a word to anyone in two years. West and Maggie are both trying to survive the heartache they were dealt and together they felt connected.

What I loved most about the this book was the character growth, development and the way they supported each other. I also loved the supporting characters and can’t wait to see how their stories unfold; Brady, Nash ( my favourite lol), Gunner, and Asa. Overall, I will recommend this book, for a light easy read and I look forward to the rest of the series.

In Isabella Austin Evangelista’s life miracles never happen… she knows she’s destined to be the princess who’s stuck in the middle of a fairytale where there will be no happily ever after.

Once upon a time, Prentice Cameron loved Isabella Austin until he discovered she was a spoiled, rich girl who spent her summers toying with his heart.

Life led Prentice to his own fairytale, the love of the full-of-life Fiona Sawyer. That being so, that fairytale was torn away when Fiona died of a brain tumor leaving Prentice with a house to keep clean, piles of laundry to be done, a business to run and two children who were getting tired of takeaway.

But Isabella comes back to Prentice’s tiny fishing town and she sweeps into his children’s lives like a beautiful, well-dressed fairy godmother who bakes exquisite chocolate cakes and gives the perfect manicure to six year old girls. Then Prentice finds out Isabella’s soul destroying secrets, secrets that explain why she left him so many years ago.

Fiona, stuck in her village and forced to haunt her family and watch Prentice and Isabella’s crazy dance, finds the impossible happening. She’s cheering for Bella and Prentice to rekindle their love. Then she finds out why she’s caught in her heartbreaking haunting and discovers she must embrace her magic and keep Bella safe or Bella’s fairytale will never come true......

• The way Prentice loved the two women in his live, the mother of his children and his long lost love of his life.

• I felt for Elle in the first part of the book, the misunderstand about why she had to leave Prentice all those year, and way other village reacted to her coming back.
• I love the way Kristen wrote the kids into the book! so funny and Sally is just the cute kid ever!
• I love the happy gay best friend, i think Elle needed happy friends in her life.

★My Review★

 This is a book i have been waiting for awhile, there was a big waiting gap between the first and second book, so i was glad the third book came sooner. I really enjoyed the last two.

I was not disappoint by the third, I love this book. I am always a sucker for a good MC romance. This book wasnt has dark as other MC book it was light and funny and I loved it.

The hero Tracker has been in a not so real 'relationship" with Allie in the last book, and tracker wants more and can't see a future with her. Enter Lana our sweet heroine, who has seen tracker in all his man whoring ways. she has been a close friend to the MC, through her best friend.

The book is a bit of a clichéd, but i was excepting it, a man whore hero falls for his one and only sweet heroine and become a changed man, and i loved this about this book.

I have always loved any thing form Chantel Fernando, so i wasn't disappointed. One thing i didnt like is tracker's reaction to Lana secret job as a exotica writer, it was about over the top, i think the author wanted to add a bit of angst. 

Overall it was a great book, and I can't wait for Rake's book, that should be a great on aswell.
