A Midsummer 's Nightmare by Kody Keplinger Book Review

About The Book.







“Whitley Johnson's dream summer with her divorcé dad has turned into a nightmare. She's just met his new fiancée and her kids. The fiancée's son? Whitley's one-night stand from graduation night. Just freakin' great.


Worse, she totally doesn't fit in with her dad's perfect new country-club family. So Whitley acts out. She parties. Hard. So hard she doesn't even notice the good things right under her nose: a sweet little future stepsister who is just about the only person she's ever liked, a best friend (even though Whitley swears she doesn't "do" friends), and a smoking-hot guy who isn't her stepbrother...at least, not yet. It will take all three of them to help Whitley get through her anger and begin to put the pieces of her family together.”


My Review



This is the second book by Keplinger that I read and once again I was really impressed by her work, when I read The duff, (Click here to see my review of The Duff)  I was really into the story and trying to figure out what was coming next, but with this book, I was really into the story line, but the characters were so good in a way that you can really  relate to them, which is one of my favorite things about Keplinger’s writing she really works on her characters and make them really come to life in a way that can make you feel all kinds of emotions  and the different scenarios  of the book were simple  enough to make you think about, your life and the  decisions you make without thinking and how they end up catching up with you.
I highly recommend this books, I was reading it over the 4th of July holidays, which was a perfect timing considering the story and end up with this HUGE book crush on Nathan,  once I finished I was left wanting for more, so If Keplinger  would make this a series or decide to write a novella I would be the first to buy!

The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks Book Review

The Longest Ride




About The Book



Ira Levinson is in trouble. Ninety-one years old and stranded and injured after a car crash, he struggles to retain consciousness until a blurry image materializes beside him: his beloved wife Ruth, who passed away nine years ago. Urging him to hang on, she forces him to remain alert by recounting the stories of their lifetime together - how they met, the precious paintings they collected together, the dark days of WWII and its effect on them and their families. Ira knows that Ruth can't possibly be in the car with him, but he clings to her words and his memories, reliving the sorrows and everyday joys that defined their marriage.


A few miles away, at a local bull-riding event, a Wake Forest College senior's life is about to change. Recovering from a recent break-up, Sophia Danko meets a young cowboy named Luke, who bears little resemblance to the privileged frat boys she has encountered at school. Through Luke, Sophia is introduced to a world in which the stakes of survival and success, ruin and reward -- even life and death - loom large in everyday life. As she and Luke fall in love, Sophia finds herself imagining a future far removed from her plans -- a future that Luke has the power to rewrite . . . if the secret he's keeping doesn't destroy it first.


Ira and Ruth. Sophia and Luke. Two couples who have little in common, and who are separated by years and experience. Yet their lives will converge with unexpected poignancy, reminding us all that even the most difficult decisions can yield extraordinary journeys: beyond despair, beyond death, to the farthest reaches of the human heart.


My Review

I would like to start this post by saying that this has been so far the hardest book review that I have ever done, because like any other Nicholas Sparks book I was not done with the book long after I finished reading it I just couldn’t stop thinking about both stories and how they collided and how one shaped the other.
All I can said about this book is that Nicholas Sparks have this way of make me wish that he was the author of my own love life, if that was possible, man and I wish it could be, because when reading The Longest Ride I felt so many feelings with Ira and Ruth’s story how they went through rough times and there were times when they  tried to put an end to it thinking that it was best to leave things the way they were but they end up getting back together because the love that they felt for each other was strong than any situation that was trying to keep them apart and even after they were not longer together they found a way to be present for the other not even death could do they apart.


With Sophia and Luke was not so different they were young and they both came from different places and wanted different things in life but they are the perfect example of how you can know so many people and they are just there, they don’t affect your environment but then, you meet one person that walks into your life and make this huge impact and soon after that you find yourself not being able of imagining your life without that person and they end up being more than you could have ever thought they could be.


This books is amazing I loved it so much I highly recommend it to anyone who would like to experiences what true love is like it’s not perfect but can overcome any circumstances.!

Getting Dirty By Mia Storm








Dirty
A poem by Blaire Leon


If sex is dirty, why would I do it with someone I love?
If sex is dirty, then didn’t we all come from the dirt?
What if I like the dirt?
What if I want to get dirty?
What if I want to roll in the mud until I’m so fucking filthy that I’ll never be clean again?

When twenty-five-year-old graduate assistant Caiden Brenner asked Blaire Leon how old she was, she said she was a senior. He chose to believe she meant in college. They connect over Lord Byron’s Don Juan and, as their conversations become increasingly thicker with sexual innuendo, Caiden finds himself obsessing over a totally off-limits undergrad who’s bold, beautiful, brilliant, and one of the most passionate poets he’s ever met.

But it turns out Blaire hasn't been totally honest. She's the seventeen-year-old valedictorian of her high school class, taking courses at Sierra State while awaiting her acceptance to Stanford.

Will Caiden get too deeply into Blaire to back away before he finds out the truth? Or will their connection be enough to seduce him into risking his entire future on Jail Bait?



******* My Review*****

I really enjoy this books. The characters were well made and there was not so much, drama and conflict as what you expect, but what I liked the most about it is that it was realistic. Storm, really got into things that made me think a lot, especially about those ridiculous society standards about  who should be dating who and is right or wrong when it comes to love, Blaire and Caiden are bold characters that you can really related to. The most powerful message for me is that Love is love and it just happen, it knows not rules or ages, when it hits you, you just have to accepted, regardless the situations.

EXCERPT
Without realizing I’m doing it, I find I’m leaning toward her. I catch myself and stop. But before I can pull back, she closes the rest of the distance and presses her lips hard against mine.
Any thought that I shouldn’t be doing this evaporates like fog in a stiff breeze at the taste of her mouth, moving hungrily on mine. She’s scotch and fire on my tongue as she devours me. Right or wrong, I’m powerless to stop her.
Her fingers run down my face to my chest as she opens her mouth wider, inviting me deeper inside. I take the invitation, tasting as much of her as she’ll give me. Her hands tug at the hem of my shirt and my breath catches when cold fingers meet my warm abs.
I press harder against her, drawing her closer, and fire rips through my veins as our tongues and hands explore the new landscapes of each other’s mouths and bodies.
But a shard of coherent thought finally manages to pierce the bubble I’ve constructed to justify what I’m doing. “You’re a student,” I say against her mouth.
Her lips skim to my ear. “I like you, Caiden,” she whispers, and her saying my name with that hot breath, that wet mouth, is nearly enough to break my resolve. “I like you a lot.”
I take her by the shoulders and gently peel her away, my heart hammering out African drumbeats against my ribcage. “You’re so damn incredible, but I can’t do this. It’s totally against university rules. I’m sorry.”
“You’re not my professor,” she says, her expression wounded. “If we like each other, I don’t see why it should matter.”
“I’m Dr. Duncan’s graduate assistant. My boss is your professor. It’s a conflict of interest, since I do most of his grading.”
“So you are conflicted.” It’s clear from the predatory shift her expression takes that she hears that I’m trying to convince myself as much as her.
I drop my head against the headrest. “I am.”
She leans closer again, her breast pressing against my arm through the thin cotton of her top. “I’ll never say anything. No one needs to know,” she whispers, her breath feathering over my neck.

Paper Towns by John Green Book Review



Paper Towns by John Green just became one of my favorite books. John Green did it again, the characters of the books are so well define and you can just identify yourself we them all, we all have a friend like Margo, who shows the world a person but behind closed doors is nothing like it, somebody that is different that enjoys and appreciate the little things in life like having a good time, but at the same time knows, around who they can be truly themselves. I enjoy this books from beginning to end. Although everyone may see the meaning of the story in a different way, for me it was all about the things that we are willing to do for those who we care about, and the things that we are willing to risk for them. Paper Towns is an amazing story I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy a great adventure with a beautiful meaning. And the movie will come out this summer and I honestly can’t wait to see how they bring this amazing story to life!.


Did you read the book? did you like it? Are you excited for the movie?

Finding Haven by T.A.Foster Book Review





BOOK SUMMARY:


Power. Money. Control. Love.
He has all but one.


When movie star, Evan Carlson, discovers his girlfriend’s picture with another man splashed on the cover of gossip magazines, he decides he’s had enough of his fishbowl life and attempts to outrun the media frenzy his relationships have become. Driving until the road stops, he ends up on the remote and quaint Perry Island, where a heartthrob can blend in like the locals and be a beach bum as long as he wants. All that changes when Evan meets Haven Owen, aspiring songwriter and the girl he just can’t get enough of. A summer romance turns into something much deeper and Evan gets tangled in his own web of lies to keep Haven in his life. But when his ex tracks him down, Evan learns there are some things you just can’t outrun.


Is the cost of love, losing all control?
