Rating : 4 Stars
Blurb : He was a man angry at an accident which left him forever incapacitated. She was a woman disfigured and empty. Add one immense painting imbued with a magical ability, and the resulting enchantment changed more than just their lives. It changed their world.
Review : OK Book – what am I gonna do with you …. ??? Your content really promises a GREAT read … but so far you look like you are in need of rework… Reading you was like reading the idea of a real great book. If your author would add more pages on the development of the characters… the development of their relation … and added something to the storyline – like some “bad guys” so there is a little bit more happening this would have been a real great story – the kind of story going into reading charts ….. But like this – you are only the 3 star outline of a 5 star story … but because i feel so good about the idea I give you 4 stars – in the hope the author might consider to rework you and create something bigger out of you … you have the potential – belive me … you do !!

Title : The Accidental Movie Star
Author : Emily Evans
Series : Accidental, #1
Rating : 4 Stars
Blurb : How did Ashley spend her summer vacation? Imagine the hottest guy in Hollywood. Do you see the girl next to him, the one handing him a cup of coffee? Yeah. That’s her. Interning on a major motion picture is not all bad. She gets to watch some of the scenes and even offer her opinion. “That kiss looked lame. Laughably weak. There’s no chance at an MTV award with that kiss.” LOL. Until the director says, “Hey, Intern. Yeah, you. Ashley. You’re right. So, teach Caspian how to kiss. Oh, and get in front of the camera. We’re going to need you in this next shot.” OMG.
Review : Basically the story is a 3 star – but because I found the characters charming I give it 4 stars… It could have been so much better though – … the story had potential … With a little rework this could be a solid 5 star one … But like this its a nice read and I enjoyed it 😀

Take This Regret (Regret, #1)

  

Take This Regret
  Regret #1
 A.L. Jackson
 July 5th 2018

 

There are some mistakes we make that we will regret for the rest of our lives. For Christian, it was the day he betrayed Elizabeth.

Christian Davison has a plan for his life. He is determined to become an attorney and to one day take his place as partner in his father’s law firm. Nothing will stand in his way, not even Elizabeth Ayers and their unborn child.

After Christian cuts her from his life, Elizabeth spends the next five years struggling to provide for her daughter and willing to sacrifice anything to give her child a safe, comfortable life. For five years, Christian has regretted the day he walked away from his family and will do anything to win them back just as Elizabeth will do anything to protect her daughter from the certain heartache she believes Christian will bring upon them.

When Christian wrestles his way into their lives, Elizabeth is faced with asking herself if it is possible to forgive someone when they’ve committed the unforgivable and if it is possible to find a love after it has been buried in years of hate.

Or are there some wounds that go so deep they can never heal? They say everyone deserves a second chance.

Lost to You and Take This Regret can be read as Stand-Alone Novels. Recommended reading order: Lost to You, Take This Regret, If Forever Comes

Title : Denied
Author : Jodi Ellen Malpas
Series : One Night, #2
Rating : 5 Stars
 
Blurb : The passion that burned between Livy and Miller in One Night: Promised may end up destroying them both in this new novel of overwhelming desire and shocking discoveries… He’s amazingly wealthy, sinfully gorgeous, and can bring her to heights of pleasure she’s never before known. For Livy, there’s no turning back. She’s determined to be the light in Miller Hart’s dark world. Yet this new life comes with a steep price… Miller knows that the power he possesses hasn’t come without sacrifices-but he won’t let Livy be one of them. Though he wants nothing more than to have her in every way, his first duty is to protect her at all costs…from his sins, his enemies, and especially himself. But as their insatiable affair intensifies, the two attract the attention of an obsessive-and dangerous-third party. Discovering new revelations about Miller that rock her to the core, Livy will have to decide whether he’s ruined beyond repair. And he must face his fear that in order to save her, he may have to lose her after all…
 
Review : We learn that Miller lives in a dark world, not only in his mind filled with OCD behavior but also in the real world out there. But we also learn that they can not live without eachother. The question is – will the world let them Live ? I surly hope so – because I really get to like Miller – yeah – but still – he will never get rid or the comparison to Jesse – poor guy

Title : Unbeautiful
Author : Jessica Sorensen
Series : Unbeautiful, #1
Rating : 4 Stars
 
Blurb : Emery You want to know my secrets? What lies beneath the pretty? The scars I can’t let anyone see? The scars tied to my secrets? On the outside I appear normal. Some might even say perfect. They say that I’m a pretty girl. They say I should be happy. They say that I have nothing to be angry about. That I’m popular. A cheerleader. That I’m perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. But all they see is what’s on the outside. On the inside I’m raw, open, bleeding. Scars that can’t seem to heal the wounds. Carrying dark secrets about who I really am. How afraid I am to tell the truth. And it’s slowly killing me. Ryler Tattoos. Piercing. Scars. The guy who can’t speak. Gothic freak. Mute. Punk. I’ve heard it all. They say that I’m probably dangerous. They say people should stay away from me. They say. They say. They say. But who are they anyway? To decide what I am. They don’t know what’s hidden beneath the scars. Beneath the piercings and tattoos. The secrets I keep hidden beneath the silence. Maybe if they knew, they wouldn’t fear me so much. Then again, maybe they’d fear me more.
 
Review : I would have never guessed that this book will suck me in this deep I’ve been hearing on repeat nonstop one song …. which somehow perfectly fits this book… Eminem & Rihanna – The Monster

Come to Me Quietly (Closer to You, #1)

  

Come to Me Quietly 
  Closer to You #1
 A.L. Jackson
January 7th 2014

 

Aleena Moore is content with her life. She has goals and dreams and an easy smile. She also has a secret she holds locked inside.

Jared Holt believes he doesn’t deserve to love or be loved. He destroys everything he touches. Haunted by the mistake that shattered his life, he’s fled from the memory of that pain.

Jared doesn’t know why he’s compelled to return, but finds himself drawn back to the place where it all began. The exact place where it ended. When he runs into his childhood best friend, Aleena’s older brother Christopher, he agrees to share Christopher and Aleena’s apartment while he looks for a place of his own.

Aleena is no longer the little girl Jared remembers from his past and evokes feelings in him he never wanted to feel again. Terrified of destroying her, he fights to keep her away. But her touch is something he can’t resist—the touch that sealed his fate.

Their pasts are intertwined and their futures uncertain. The only truths they know are the secrets they whisper in the night.

Title : Break Me Slowly
Author : Joya Ryan
Series : Shattered #1
Rating : 3 Stars
 
Blurb : Graduate student Katelyn Gunn is headed for her first day of assistant teaching when she is almost hit by a car. The nervous and inexperienced Kate is shocked to realize that it isn’t the near death experience that has her heart racing, but the sinfully sexy man behind the wheel. Adam Kinkade is ultra-wealthy, devastatingly handsome, and the most powerful distribution mogul in Chicago—he is also the first man who ignites emotions inside of her other than fear. Adam is a man used to getting what he wants. And he wants Katelyn—naked and often. Willing to stop at nothing to possess her, he relentlessly pursues Kate only to discover that it is she who possesses him—completely. Kate quickly realizes that Adam has secrets of his own, secrets dark enough to break the walls she keeps so firmly in place. Passion turns to possession, and Adam’s controlling nature and seductive hands sparks a desire so strong, it destroys her own demons. But when desire turns to addiction, Kate fears that it will rage too hot, and shatter her sanity.
 
Review : Another reviewer wrote it perfectly …. Quoting : “If the Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy and the Crossfire Trilogy made a baby, it would be called Break Me Slowly.” (except the crossfire books are not a triology anymore but that is an angry story for another time) And it would not have been a bad thing really – and I wanted to like the story – but I suddenly catched myself counting the things I read before in one or both of the other books … And after that it was not like reading something I liked anymore – it was more like reading a copy of something I like – if you understand the difference … Maybe it was because I was missing the depth of the main characters – and I could not feel the attraction …. there was nothing that made me feel the development between the two … there were some good minutes and at one point I thought OK I might be onto something – AND maybe another 50 or 100 pages spend on character development would have saved the whole thing but like this – … no … sorry … Its a nice short read but nothing new for people with a full reading list ….
