You’re all I’ve got.” ― “So many years have gone by that we’ve ignored what we wanted. Now that we’ve opened that door, I can’t help but see all the time we’ve wasted when we could have been happy.” Overall Opinion: The Blackshaw and Harrison clan have a old family rivalry that hasn’t settled even moving onto Nash and Megan adulthood. Despite the tension, there has always been a connection between the two, and from early on, the chase began. The chemistry between the two characters are off the charts and when one intimate night changes their lives forever, they join together to help their families push aside their differences to become one. But that itself has become a challenge when Megan’s father and Nash have difficulty putting aside their past differences especially when things starts becoming wary on the Blackshaw land.
After the overall read, surprisingly, I was blown away by this novel. I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with cowboy romance novels but right off the bat the chemistry between the characters was mucho caliente, the likability of the leads was there, the pace was steady and the overall content was enjoyable. Would definitely recommend to readers who are looking for a heartwarming cowboy romance that will surely leave you swooning for more.

Yes, yes, YES! I haven't stumbled upon a decent enemies to lovers trope novel since "Shortcake" by Lucy Watson and it was well worth the wait. I shit you not. Seriously from the get-go the chemistry between our infamous opposites attract pair has been off the charts and as the fake relationship bit continues, I can't help finding myself falling faster, deeper in love with the broody and rouchy gentle giant of a boxer and the petite size tinker bell. It was crazy how well they fit together and when I got to the end, my eyes almost started sweating because I really didn't want it to end. Needless to say, "Outmatched" is hands down one of the best reads to close the year on.
2nd READ: I didn't love this as much as the first go-around. It didn't speak with me and overall became almost too tedious to finish. I regret picking this up again.

1st READ: "Love Lettering" is an original piece of work filled with secret codes and messages (my favorite portions of the book), flawed characters and symbolism that made this downright unputdownable.
It's like wow. I am pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this. No joke. I had previously read some reviews and anticipated the worse with this one but I was nearly knocked off my feet with this uniquely written contemporary romance concept. The characters' storyline was refreshing and the pace was painful on the intake but gradually started to improve chapter by chapter. I kid you not, my eyes glued to my screen, taking all the words to heart and then without missing a beat, I found myself in a whimsical journey of self discovery and as the story unfolded, Reid and Meg great character development.
In addition, if you're looking for a whirlwind romance, this is not the book for you. This slow burn novel can either make it or break it for most readers, and the romance aspect to Meg and Reid relationship didn't start until a little after the halfway mark but the wait was worthwhile.
This is a must have, must read, must everything book for any reader looking to close the year on a high note.
Holy cow! I really really like this despite some of the cliche and cheesy moments/scenes but nevertheless the swoonworthy hero and head strong heroine won me over. I mean who doesn't love a hot alpha who knows what he wants and does the chasing for once?! It was scorching hot from beginning to the end.
Holy shit. Holy shit. HOLY SHIT! Like what the hell did I just read?! I was nearly rendered speechless on how amazing this was. I can't really get into specifics since it'll pretty much spoiled the whole series but it's soooooo worth the read. This dark twisted romance had me on the edge of my seat and the ending… dayum! I seriously can't get enough of this series, the characters and everything in between.
If you haven't already picked this gem up, the novel is centre around Zelda, a high functioning young adult diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. The heroic heroine is a viking enthusiast and uses "Kepple's Guide to the Vikings", a book Zelda reads obsessively as a handbook to her everyday life. The smooth and easy read told in Zelda's perspective is a phenomenal coming-to-age story filled with love, legends, and self-discovery. It was a pull at the heartstrings type of story that further enthralled the reader with the out of ordinary characters, storyline, and content.
Well shit. That was creepy as fuck and that only amplified after having a Ghost Adventures marathon the night before. Go big or go home I say. Nevertheless, I was highly impressed by the authors writing style and how he was able to showcase Alice, the ten year old lead, POV and her journey in finding out what was happening in her family's new home. I will note that despite the fact that this story is supposed to be in a 10 year old POV, the lead character had an almost grown-up persona and it didn’t make me feel like I was reading the story from the child’s perspective. Besides that flaw and lackluster epilogue in which case I didn’t think concluded the story in the way I envision, I wasn’t able to put this down. It was a non-stop suspense thriller creepfest surrounding a family who decided to move into a fix-upper while unbeknownst to them, something or someone lingers in the dark ready to strike. Needless to say, this would be perfect for readers looking for a little scare this upcoming holiday and would recommended that everyone keeps this author on their must watch list.
I've always been a sucker for dogs on book covers and this was no exception. Going into this read, I was a bit nervous but could you blame me after "Marley and Me". No. You can't. Nevertheless, this family-filled fluff of a tale was a refreshing break from all the overhyped basic reads I have picked up the last few days. This heartwarming story is about Cosmo, a 13 year old 'older brother' who is dealing with the everyday challenges and struggles of his family day to day lives, arguments, fights, and let's not forget to throw in dance competitions. It was such a sweet and endearing to read from Cosmos POV and to see his perspective on things. Despite the fact that this is ideal for children to middle grade, even adults such as myself can still be immersed in this cute and short read.
A page-turner from start to end, this dystopian novel was easily able to capture my attention from the get-go with the magical creative writing style the author was able to displayed, refreshing and unique characters, and storyline that captivated me. With this novel being the first I have read from this author, I can't wait to see what else she has in store for us.

It was a fast paced, well written novel that nearly blew me away and it was an impressive introductory to this author for me. Despite being a 300+ page novel, it felt so much shorter than it actually was and I was pleasantly surprised I was able to finish this in one sitting. The plot, character development, the author's ability to betray autism in a realistic light and how the novel concluded won me over. Needless to say I will be keeping a close eye on what the author comes out with next.
