I did really enjoy reading this one though, a bit more so than the Lets just say, the title is spot on.
Chase... It was more like a marathon. My god.
I did really enjoy reading this one though, a bit more so than the previous one, Nothing Left to Lose. I can see why this one has mixed reviews as Nate, well, he can be considered cringe worthy. Those 'chat up lines'.. yeah that does not butter my biscuit personally. Although they were so bad I ended up finding them funny. I just had to laugh at it. I found Nate changed a lot through out, I have to admit he became more whipped and desperate, but if a girls holding out on you for that long, I can kind of see how that can change a guy. Poor bloke. I did love those two together though. They kept each other on their toes and Nate really is a sweet heart. <3 Especially when it came with DJ. Now him I loved. His dad, yeah... Not so much. I don't understand why Rosie would put up with that. She needed to be more assertive in my opinion. She let him get away with too much.
All in all, I did enjoy this book. There would be some things I would have liked to have changed, but it was an easy read, full of cliches and cheese sprinkled all over, but I must say I didn't mind it. I think Moseley handles it well in her writing. Thats also another thing I like about her books, the length. She really goes into detail and an actual story! I hate reading books and thinking, If you made this a bit longer and gone into a bit more detail, it could've been good. A book thats basically a plot and is over before you know it. ...more
Well, I must say I am thoroughly disappointed. As my first book of 2016, I wanted an easy read to get me back into the swing of things as I h1.5 Stars
Well, I must say I am thoroughly disappointed. As my first book of 2016, I wanted an easy read to get me back into the swing of things as I haven't read in a while. I know, how did I manage?! Well it was difficult but here I am. And I must say, reading this book was like losing my virginity. You've waited this long, you wish you held out that bit longer for Mr Right! This book was exactly like that. I mean, it was okay, but you expected better. Hey.. If I was my 5th book in to the year, then it would be your average Joe where you can mark it as your do not repeat and easily forgotten. But it wasn't. It was my first.
Oh well, what you gunna do?

I'm gunna keep this review short, (like all first times), and dish out the pros and cons and hopefully move forward.
1. It wasn't so bad. It hasn't scarred me from reading again, but I definitely won't be coming back to this one for seconds.

2. Eden = has no respect. Falls for bad boy who treats her like crap the entire time. Doesn't stick up to her Dad who, (shocker) didn't want her there. Gives in to peer pressure and follows the crowd. And my pet peeve, she can't handle her alcohol. Why oh why does every storyline have there main characters out to be such (not pussies because there fucking awesome and shouldn't be used as a negative) ... Wooses.
3. Tyler = Oh wow! I've never seen a bad boy who's rich and has a dark past and treat everyone like crap but manages to convey an emotional human being inside!

I know Judge Judy... I know...
4. Their relationship wasn't consistent. To put that point bluntly.
5. I did not connect with a single character throughout. The closest I came was Dean, but again, a nobody who would've been overlooked in another book. They are all either delicate sheep *cough cough* (Eden), page fillers, *cough cough* (the little brothers and Rachael's monologue on her crush Tyler), pointless party people (Jack and extra 1 and 2) or psychotic sluts (Tiffani), and no, you don't get a cough you crazy bitch and let's not forget the ignorant parents (all parents in the book).
6. Your step siblings. Get over it! Your not blood related. You've known each other for a few weeks! Not been brought up like siblings. Like Tiffani pointed out, it's like clueless. Which wasn't a big deal.

See...
Overall I class this book as a drunken one night stand....more
Or on the other hand, maybe it should've been longer.
I read someone else's review Well that was a waste of time..
Luckily it's was a really short read.
Or on the other hand, maybe it should've been longer.
I read someone else's review briefly and I saw the word steamy.. Hm, that person needs to read better erotica books because I would not use steamy to describe this book. I wouldn't even say it was lukewarm.
One scene. Just one scene where they were gunna get on with it but no. One minute there talking about how good his hand felt on her thigh, the next she's washing her face.
Yep. That was it. They skipped that scene.
So basically this was a short book about a woman not wanting love but an affair (which had no sex scenes), and then changing her mind 30 pages in.
**spoiler alert** Thank god this book was free because I would have been seriously pissed if I wasted money on it.
It wasn't horrifically terrible but **spoiler alert** Thank god this book was free because I would have been seriously pissed if I wasted money on it.
It wasn't horrifically terrible but OH MY GOD! Could she become any more of a stalker?!
Seriously, I would not let a guy walk all over me as easily as she had. And I mean, they hardly had a relationship! I can name ALL the time they interacted!
1) first met at the party where he tried to sleep with her 2) returning his clothes where they played truth 3) Quinn waiting outside her class then going back to her studio where she asked him to leave after a few minutes 4) taking emilie to the 80s prom night where they got jiggy in the lift 5) asking to join her back at the studio again where they don't really talk as she's got work to do then he falls asleep 6) Quinn is then woken up by a kiss and they have sex 7) emilie relieves a note saying that it was fun but won't be seeing each other again 8) meet at the art show where he buys her work 9) she finds out about the whole spilling drink plan to sleep with girls and she confronts him where he turns her down infront of everyone in his sorority house
And then this is where she becomes crazy. I would like to think that us girls aren't always so desperate. Has no one ever heard of 'there's plenty of fish in the sea'? I liked her friend who had a crush on her. He was a nice guy. Quinn has too many problems and ain't nobody got time for that.
I just felt considering the amount of time they interacted, they shouldn't have been madly in love with each other as frankly, there wasn't even a lot of wooing going on.
The reason she turned obsessed, and here's what I got the gist from, is that his touch made her tingly and she couldn't get enough. And when they had sex her mind was blown and she would never experience anything like it again.
I started reading this book as I am currently travelling and trying to save money where I can. Including books! And as some of you may know, iBooks ofI started reading this book as I am currently travelling and trying to save money where I can. Including books! And as some of you may know, iBooks offers free books within a series so I downloaded loads and thought I'd give this one a go.
I'm currently into romance right now but I love paranormal books so this fit within the criteria.
So I'll start off with saying that it was a good read but nothing special.. To best explain this book, it would be the word 'okay'.. It wasn't bad. It wasn't good. It was okay.
I liked the main character at the beginning of the book, it followed the typical themes of. Nerdy, quiet shy girl that gets bullied and isn't popular, but she seemed like she had a good head on her shoulders.
But then it's insta-love and not in the sweet way. It was a weird way. She couldn't concentrate and was being.. Weird. I can't describe it but I like insta-love where the girl doesn't suddenly go cookoo over a guy.
So then not even half way into the book, they start to form a relationship. As romances do.. But she starts to alienate her friends and I for one, do not think that's okay! They helped her a lot with her looks and how to act to get he guy and then she ignores them as soon as it happens. If I was one of the friends I would have made her give back the eyeliner I lent her! Even though it's purple.. :/
I thought the storyline itself was really well thought out. IF ONLY IT WAS WRITTEN BETTER!
By the end the characters started to annoy me and the whole situation itself.
Also, when she started to appear better looking I expected more of a transformation then just no glasses and no more spots..
Overall, there was way too many cliches, to much cringey insta-love and not enough originality. Which is such a shame because I actually like the story itself! It could have been something great and that why I'm disappointed.
So I'm sad to say, I will not be buying the next book in the series....more
It wasn't as bad as I initially thought and I'm glad I persevered.
The mistake I made was that I had just read 'Welcome to Sugartown' which is too simIt wasn't as bad as I initially thought and I'm glad I persevered.
The mistake I made was that I had just read 'Welcome to Sugartown' which is too similar in the storyline for me to read one after the other.
Mental note: remember to read synopsis!
The beginning was all Pharrell Williams happy (which I have no problem with) but it was too sickeningly sweet. I swear every page had them both say 'I love you' on it.
You know when you see people who are too affectionate in public and you can't help but think, Seriously?! Could you really not go another second without fondling each other? Could you not wait to get a room? Or at least have the decency to use a public restroom. Just saying... Well I felt like that.
Too summarise, I felt like a third wheel the whole way through the book.
Then shit hits the fan all hell breaks loose. (Don't worry, no spoilers)
Without going into to much detail... I think this book should've been split into 2 books. It all started rushing through in the middle and I didn't feel emotionally involved with the characters. I'm all into love at first sight but you have to draw a line somewhere before it goes OTT. Which it did.
Also, I feel bad for Ava. Loved her. Where did she go may I ask?...more
