Slade (Walk of Shame #1) by: Victoria Ashley

3.5-4 stars

So I hated Slade with a passion but thought he was so f**cking sexy! I didn't start liking him until the very end, I wanted to scream at what a cocky asshole he was and even though Aspen was suppose to be hard to get I feel she gave in a little too easily. I wish she would have given him a harder time. I still enjoyed this book, it was steamy, sexy, and hot, I needed a fan after that read. If you want a guilty pleasure this is it. I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

Patiently waiting...

Can you say July 1st!!

Flat Out Celeste by:Jessica Park

5 fabulous stars!! I loooooved this book.
 
If you haven't read Flat Out Love I suggest doing so before reading this book.

Celeste is all grown up and a senior in high school, she's trying to decide what college to attend while still trying to overcome her awkwardness around people and in social situations. When Justin from Barton College in San Diego emails her and tries to propose his school to her they form an instant connection through emails.  He has his own quirks and she finds them adorable where others find them annoying. They soon meet and develop deep feelings for each other. While trying to manage a long distant relationship and their own insecurities a secret comes out about her brothers breakup and destroys everything. Will Celeste ever get over her issues? Is Justin the person to get her to come out of her shell?

*****slight spoiler*****

When I first read that Julie and Matt broke up I was devastated. I looked at my husband and said, "remember that book I read about the girl that carried around a cardboard cutout of her bother and how much I loved it?" He was like, "Yeah." I said they broke up, the H/h broke up NOOOOO!" He looks at me and rolls his eyes. So anyways I was extremely upset but became so wrapped up in Celeste and Justin that it was only in the back of my mind instead of the forefront as a thought it might be. I thought this book was so well written and there were so many quotes that I could copy and paste into this review but it would take me forever.  I loved the message of this book and their was a chapter where Justin is trying to explain to Celeste how boring the world would be is everyone were just clones. What is perceived as normal? Who sets these standards? I loved this chapter and it really made me think... Society has this preconceived notion about how everyone should talk, walk, dress, and act. Why who cares? How boring life would be if everyone did the exact same thing.

So besides being a great book with two HEA's it a great message as well!

Highly recommend!!!

Just Listen (Public Lives #2) by: Clare James

Copy provided by author for an honest review...5 stars!

I found a new favorite author!

I really loved Finn and Casey's story. This book picks up where Talk to Me left us. I couldn't wait to find out what happened between the two of them and it didn't disappoint. I really liked the writing style and how it was dual point of view as well as them being interviewed. The H/h had great chemistry and I didn't find them to be cheesy or did I find myself rolling my eyes as I so often do with back and forth banter and lines in some romance novels. I felt that the characters were real and as I said in my last review I really liked both the H/h.

I really wish we got a little more of Finn and Casey at the end. I always love an epilogue at the end just giving the reader an idea of how things ended up. Regardless though it was still a great book and I will be reading this authors previous work and future work as well.

Thank you for providing me a copy!

Just finished and 5 starred them both!

I will post reviews soon but loved both of these wonderful books!
