Review :Normally I don´t read Cowboy stories, but this one caught definetly my attention from the very first page.Book 2 of the Sawyer Brothers series is also a stand-alone but after reading the first book before the second book, I just can recommend to you to read the books in order to really get a perfect feeling for the series, but also the characters.It´s a story about moving on after such a tragic past-one of the things I love soooo much about this book! Especially when there are two interesting, but also unique characters that influence each other the way it´s the case with this book!In combination with a story-line that never got me bored and an almost flawless writing-style, we just need to recommend not only this book, but also the whole series to you!We can´t wait to read the third book of the series!

Redemption River (Men of Mercy, #1) by Lindsay Cross you get the hell of a story which is definetly meant in a good way! Wooooow! From the beginning until the very end, I sat in front of the book, exited about what will happen next. Ths book gives you not a second of a break as you are surrounded by emotions(negative or positive ones), actions happening throughout the story or just emotional breakdowns which leave you breathless. A pure roller-coaster ride! It´s often difficult to find the right balance of content regarding to the main topic and the things surrounding it! Lindsay Cross did a very good job as everything felt raw, emotional and maybe because of this very real which made it easy to not only connect with the story, but also with the characters which are at least as special as the very good writing-style. All in all a very good story you really should take a look at! Action, deep conversations, emotions and a very good story – exactly what a very good book is made of!

Title : Faith

Author : Elizabeth Hayes

Series : Hades Angels #1

1, 2015

Rating : 3 Stars

Blurb :My life changed in an instant when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was only eighteen, and suddenly my once clear path was racing a hundred miles an hour out of control. I was in the driver’s seat, but completely unable to steer my life back on course. I lost friends and didn’t bother to make new ones. I refused to let anyone in… When the doctor uttered the word “remission,” my path changed yet again. That new path led somewhere I never expected—somewhere most people would look down on—but it’s where I finally found myself, and where nobody treated me like a piece of fragile glass. It’s also where I learned other people had scars to hide. This is the story of how I met…him. This is the story of how I became Faith.

Review :

The short length of this book is a bigger problem regarding to the logical development of the story. If you thing objectively about the reason for her starting to dance at the club, her reasons seem to be logical. I just could´t feel them. It happenend in such a rush which made it difficult to actually believe in this very awesome story with a nice plot-line. But because of this and a very scenic writing-style(too much description of the daily routine), the pace of the story unneccesarily slowed down .

Laura and Bryan definetly deserve more pages to tell their story as at the end of book one , there are still too many loose ends. All in all a nice story.

Everything I Left Unsaid by M. O’Keefe

M. O’Keefe

Everything I Left Unsaid #1

5 Stars

Perfect for fans of Jodi Ellen Malpas, K. Bromberg, and Joanna Wylde, readers will be unable to resist this haunting, deeply intimate tale of a woman’s journey to freedom and love. I didn’t think answering someone else’s cellphone would change my life. But the stranger with the low, deep voice on the other end of the line tempted me, awakened my body, set me on fire. He was looking for someone else. Instead he found me. And I found a hot, secret world where I felt alive for the first time. His name was Dylan, and, strangely, he made me feel safe. Desired. Compelled. Every dark thing he asked me to do, I did. Without question. I longed to meet him, but we were both keeping secrets. And mine were dangerous. If I took the first step, if I got closer to Dylan—emotionally, physically—then I wouldn’t be hiding anymore. I would be exposed, with nothing left to surrender but the truth. And my truth could hurt us both.

“Everything I Left Unsaid” by Molly O’Keefe left me speechless.

I am always careful when reading the Blurb of a new novel, especially when the Blurb mentions something like “Fans of ‘(insert author name)’ will love this book”. I can only advise (in general) to never have to high expectations when this line mentions one or like in case of this book directly 2!!! of your favorite authors. I learned the hard way that you will probably be on your way to a huge disappointment when you choose a book just based on that line.

So I choose to read this book based on the storyline not the author recommendation. BUT now, that I finished this book I am so happy to be able to tell you THIS BOOK is I an exception to that rule. I am a huge Fan of K. Brombergs “driven” series and I just love Jodi Ellen Malpas books and I could find many of the elements that made those books special to me inside of “Everything I Left Unsaid”.

But still this is book is a totally unique story. Even if the storyline might suggest that you have read books like that before believe me when I say “YOU HAVE NOT” … Molly O’Keefe has a unique way of presenting this story to you. Her writing is compelling and beautiful. This is my first book from this author and I am hooked and I can absolutely not wait to get the second book of this series because I NEED to know how it continues.

I noticed 3 kinds of reactions from myself that are good indications to judge if I am “all in” when it comes to a book.

-I often laugh kind of loud and start commenting on lines (in public places not caring if somebody hears me). This one is quite common and I did it with this book several times

-My heart starts beating fast, no matter if the reason is fear or excitement … but this is a rare thing and a very good sign if it happens … and it happened twice in that book

-And third – I cry … well I did not yet .. but twice I was very close and I am absolutely sure by the way the first book ended that I will cry when I start the second one… OH wait … I did cry in the first one … out of frustration because I want the second one – like NOW (#laughing)

This book kept me up last night until I only had 3 hours to sleep before getting back to work. I could not stop.

I liked both characters, they were both equally weak and strong, funny and sad, mysterious and obvious and all of it at the same time. The way the author told the story from both sides was intriguing. Especially the way Dylan’s side was described stood in an interesting contrast to what happened at the same time with Annie. Their dialogues with each other were mind-blowing.

The setting was described perfectly so the reader could totally relate to the leading and secondary characters and their surroundings. I absolutely loved everything about this book (except the ending and the fact that I have to wait for the next one -#laughing)

I need “The Truth About Him” … like NOW

Title : Falling For The Wrong Guy

Blurb : Ruby Davis has a crush on her brother’s best friend. At least, he was his bestie until the big betrayal. Now Drew is off limits to everyone, especially Ruby. She can’t stand the way people treat him, or the way he feels about himself. It isn’t right.

When they are assigned a school project, they become reluctant friends – even though they want so much more.She’s torn between her feelings for Drew and loyalty to her brother. There’s no way they can ever be together…but love just might find a way.

Review : Falling For The Wrong Guy by Sara Hantz was a sweet short read that I devoured in on session . I really liked the authors writing style and the storyline was intriguing. Unfortunately, I was missing a little more depth to the characters and the story. I felt kind of sad that I could not really connect fully to the leading characters as they seemed very loveable and intense. And I truly believe that a few more pages – especially when the turn of events comes would help. It seemed kind of rushed near the end. In total I can recommend this story if you are looking for a short and sweet read. BUT If you are like me a sucker for deep characters than you might not be totally happy with this book
