Review: Unscripted Hearts

Unscripted Hearts by Peter Styles
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

When things go terribly wrong, two men come together to put things back together.

Micah and Ben have had secret crushes on each other for what seems like forever, so when the situations line up perfectly and the moment is right...

Unscripted Hearts tackles some tough issues: life, loss, death, drinking, sexuality, and what it means to really put others first.
And it's done really well.

I enjoyed this story. My only complaint is that it was narrated by one person, when I think two would have been better. However, the narrator did a great job of giving everyone a voice.

Review: Risky Play

Risky Play by Rachel Van Dyken
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I do love RVD. I haven't met a book of hers I haven't liked. Risky Play is another hit.

I fell in like with Slade as the plane's engines failed. I fell for Mack around the time she stumbled into him after their one night stand.

Lust ensued. Feelings, lust, anger, love, pain, hate, joy, sadness. Jealousy. Betrayal.

Yep. RVD puts it all in a book. And she always manages to do it flawlessly. I can't wait for the next book, although I'm a touch disappointed it isn't Jagger's book.

Review: Unbroken

Unbroken by Aaron L. Speer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have no idea why I haven't reviewed this yet because I loved everything Mr Speer did with this book.
The love, the drama, the fighting.
The heartache, the forgiveness, the acceptance.

This isn't your typical fighter story. This isn't your typical romance. Aaron Speer tackles some seriously tough issues in this book, but he does it with finesse.

This is Mr. Speer at his finest.

Review: Misadventures of a Good Wife

Misadventures of a Good Wife by Meredith Wild
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Am allowed to rate it if I don't finish it? I can't remember the rules here. Oh well. Here's the review to go with the poor rating.

I'm beginning to think it's me. I just don't seem to click with these Misadventures books the way others are clicking. This story is okay.
Kate and Price experience a tragic event.

The story picks up a year later, after Price's death. That's not a spoiler, it's in the blurb. Kate is still trying to pick up the pieces, but what happens when Price strides back into her life--alive and well?!

Kate isn't sure how to handle it, Price just wants to get back to them.

But can love conquer that kind of betrayal? The kind of lies and games that have been played to keep them both alive?

Yeah, it isn't my bag either, but here we are.

Review: Tumble

Tumble by Adriana Locke
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yes, I just fell hard for this book. Some could say I may have taken a little...tumble. Dane and Neely will have you cheering them on and wanting the best. And Dane? Dane. What can I say about Dane that hasn't already been said? He's fantastic. He's a single dad. He's fantastic. Swoony. Single. Sexy. Dad. That's almost all I needed to hear before my one-click finger got all twitchy.

This is another hit from Ms Locke and I cannot wait to read the next book.

And in case you don't want to read it, may I suggest the AUDIO??! Those southern accents are to die for. And that's coming from an actual southerner.

Review: Until We Are Gone

Until We Are Gone by Gia Riley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I grabbed this because I like a story with a good twist. And this one had that in spades. For the majority of the book I'm asking myself what is going on and who is the bad guy. Is there a bad guy? What's wrong with these people?

I will admit to being surprised by the twists in this book. What went down is not what I was expecting--AT ALL. And I love a good surprise.

This is my first Gia Riley, but I'm definitely interested in reading more of her work!

Sarah Puckett did a fantastic job giving voice to each character. It isn't often I listen to a multi-POV story and only have one narrator, but she did a great job with the different tones/voices to make sure I knew who's POV I was in.

Review: Meet Cute

Meet Cute by Helena Hunting
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Do you remember your pre-tween years? I know, I know most of us want to block those out, but just think back on your first big celebrity crush. You know you had one. The posters were taped to your walls, you had t-shirts with their faces on them, you had your first name and their last name scribbled in hearts on your notebook paper/Trapper Keeper/journal.

Yep.

That crush.

Now, I need you to fast forward a few years. And I need you to imagine running into that teenage crush.

Literally.

Dax and Kailyn are something special and sweet and fun and sexy. They aren't the rom-com you're used to getting, but they are still fun and flirty and light-ish. Somehow Helena turns something tragic into a beautiful story about love and loss and love.

And remember that tweenage crush you used to have? Yeah, imagine becoming friends with him. Imagine harboring that crush for much longer than you thought. And imagine coming face to face with him years after he betrayed your trust.

You're gonna find yourself remembering those crushes on Zack Morris and JTT and Justin Timberlake. And you're gonna fall in love with Dax and Kailyn just like I did.
