Book Review: You Don’t Know Jack (The Center, #1) – M.C. Lee

you-dont-know-jackPublished July 3rd 2014
Format: Novel
Genre: Young Adult / Mystery / Coming Of Age
Length: 190 pages, ebook
Publisher: Harmony Ink Press
Cover Artist: Maria Fanning
ISBN: 978163216148
Characters: Jack Carlisle, Leo McCormack

Who is Jack? What is he? Where did he come from? Honestly, after reading this one – I was not able to answer these three questions and a lot more percolating in my very confused brain after finishing it.

Okay, maybe I’m being wee dramatic right now. Jack is apparently an undercover agent of some sort for a “secret” agency called The Center.    For the life of me, I can’t seem to see the point of “the center” – I’m not even sure what they’re doing exactly.

What happened in the story is that Jack was to befriend a certain target by the name of Leo McCormack in order for the center to accomplish their mission. There’s a twist at the end that I’ve seen coming from afar but I’m not irked about that. I get their point and why they have to do that to Jack. What I don’t understand is the whole purpose of what the center is doing – say for example, in the past. I mean, the whole thing behind the agency. Are they extracting bad people off the planet? Are they some sort of government body that kills off for war? Or what? Seriously man, it’s bonkers. What are they? This one question keeps me from actually connecting with the characters.

As for the romance aspect – it’s close to nil. There was a tiny bit of it but they’re like sixteen so on-page, it doesn’t really carry much points for the book.

Oddly enough (lols with this book being odd and all), the only character I enjoyed here is Johnny Monroe who’s just a side character and was cut off midway in the story.

As of this writing, I am halfway through the sequel. I know right? Why am I ranting about the agency and all that shit but I still continue reading the series. Well, I didn’t say I hate this story but I don’t love it either. Curiosity got the best of me I guess. I want to know what’s the whole deal about it.

I’m not jumping up and down about this book but it’s interesting to see how the author will go about the whole “center” thing and its set of characters.

Book Review: The Deal (Off-Campus #1) – Elle Kennedy

The DealPublished February 24th 2015 by Elle Kennedy
Format: Novel
Genre: Romance/Contemporary / New Adult
Length: 358 pages, ebook
Publisher: Elle Kennedy
Cover Artist: Sarah Hansen, Okay Creations
Ebook ASIN: B00TG1CZFC
Characters: Hannah Wells, Garrett Graham

I’ll say right off the bat that this is the best college romance I’ve read in ages! The story, the characters, dialogues…ooh, I’m sure glad I took a chance with this one and it totally paid off!

Elle Kennedy wrote one of my top reads from last year (Him with Sarina Bowen) so I am pretty excited to see how she fared writing solo and man’ she writes exceptionally well! The Deal is the kind of book that you’d want to reread over and over again because it’s just easy, steamy, has enough angst and just really oh-so-wonderful to read! I’m still grinning like an idiot remembering the two MCs from the book.

Hannah Wells aka Wellsy had this huge crush on football jock Justin Kohl but the latter doesn’t even know she’s alive. What in a world a girl can do?

Solution: Garrett Graham.

Garrett – captain of the hockey team, in order to continue playing hockey needs to pass a make-up exam and he just found the solution to his problem.

He convinced Wellsy to tutor him in exchange of making Justin notice her. Easy enough yeah? Only what they didn’t expect from this deal is a plethora of things that may lead to something more – something sexy and something that involves the heart.

These two are just freaking adorable! I cannot at their chemistry. It’s just so good! I loved that they both have something from their pasts that may have bonded them even more and both background are very much realistic. Although in a perfect setting, I would have liked for Garrett to pummel Aaron (won’t tell you who this one is but it’s the douche from Wellsy’s past) into oblivion! If this weren’t a series, I would’ve wished for an epilogue a few years after college and I’d be in my own fairy tale haven then! But yeah – it’d be fun to see them again in the upcoming books.

I also loved the side characters here. Hannah’s and Garrett’s friends are just awesome people! [I just have to insert Logan – Garrett’s BFF – because I was reminded of Logan from More Than Her by Jay McLean and he also had a thing with his bff’s girl – just saying] It’s interesting to see where this series will go next but I am sure glad that I picked this one up because it just totally made my day! I will definitely be checking out the rest of the series! Bravo Elle Kennedy!

Book Review: Diamonds (Life According To Maps, #2) – Nash Summers

DiamondsPublished October 16th 2015
Genre: Young Adult
Length: 71 pages, ebook
Ebook ASIN: B016B3WFZM
Characters: Maps Wilson, Lane Rhodes
Blurb: Maps’ kingdom is crumbling before his eyes.
His parents are forcing him to get a job, there’s a new kid at school who won’t stop staring at him, and his best friend is too busy thinking about girls to help Maps deal with his real problems.
Worst of all,
Maps is lost.
And none of the roads on his map are leading to Lane.

“Who needs a psychiatrist when you have the internet? I can diagnose myself. I’m very capable, you know.”

What a perfect follow-up to Maps. I loved him in the first book and I love him even more here! I mean, Maps is Maps. Maps is perfect and him and his best friend Benji are perfect bffs together.

Here, Maps’ parents are forcing him to find a job like a perfectly normal high schooler. It’s perfectly normal right? Not with Maps though, for him it was absurdly       preposterous. Besides, he needs time for all of his experimentations and time to think about Lane all day and everyday. He doesn’t miss him, tho. Lane is away for a “stupid” baseball camp and Maps doesn’t miss him at all. Nope, he was not thinking about him every minute of the day!

What a truly delightful sequel! I never thought I’d be so enamored with a YA character such as Maps! His histrionics are fantabulous! The humor and the side characters are just totally spot on!

And there’s also Lane. What a wonderful guy! I loved that he and Max finally have a bigger conflict on how to define whatever they have. It was fantastic! Just beautiful! And too sweet! Lane’s being vulnerable and all was just too much! Too endearing!

This book was such a perfect follow up I never want it to finish. Seriously, can we get three more books from Maps and get their story until they get married and have little baby Maps and baby Lane?  ^^ *sigh*

Book Review: Maps (Life According to Maps #1) – Nash Summers

Maps CoverPublished January 12th 2015Genre: Young Adult
Length: 80 pages, ebook
Ebook ASIN: B00RS96EYM
Characters: Maps Wilson, Lane Rhodes

Blurb: If Maps ruled the world, his best pal Benji would be court jester, and every day would celebrate a new experiment. No, scratch that. If Maps ruled the world, his best pal would still be living next door, and there wouldn’t be any gap-toothed new guy staring at him as if he’s bonkers. Pity Maps doesn’t rule the world . . .

Maps is just beyond adorable! His character  is perfection! There’s no way not to love Maps! Maps (the book and the character) came before Rust (Fawn) and their characterization resemble such charm that you’d most likely not forget for a long period of time. What a beautiful, fun and quirky character!

I just loved the easy vibe of the story. I loved that Maps has Benji as his bestfriend. I loved that Maps’ parents are super-cool! I even love that little demon of a chile Miss Madam Sprinkle! LOL

And of course, there is Lane. Lane with his gapped front teeth and a Ken-doll hair. Gawd, these two are just beyond adorable I wanna adopt them!!!

I cannot wait to read the second book…in 5, 4, 3, 2,…

Book Review: Until September – Chris Scully [ARC]

Until SeptemberRELEASE DATE: Feb 8, 2016
Format: Novel
Genre: Romance/Family/Contemporary
Length: 298 pages, ebook
Publisher: Riptide Publishing
Cover Artist: Lou Harper
Ebook ISBN: 1626493553
Print ISBN: 9781626493568
Characters: Archer Noble, Ryan Eriksson

Archie Noblesse did everything to escape his brutal past and leave his family and his Cree heritage behind enabling him to reinvent himself as Archer Noble, a successful blogger and author who lives only for himself.

His world went upside down when he gets a phone call that brings all his plans for his future crashing down. A car accident takes his only sister leaving behind two children who are parentless after they lost their father a few years prior.

Enter Ryan Eriksson, the teacher whose love for his sister and the kids is undeniable and someone who disagree in everything Archer stands for. Despite this, Archer easily agreed on having Ryan help him with the kids, even offering him the custody eventually.

Ryan on the other hand is adamant for Archer to give parenting a chance despite his chance of having a family of his own, something that he’d always dreamed of. He convinced Archer to try being with them for the summer and stay until September, only things turned out unexpectedly for both of them.

This is the first book I have read by Chris Scully. I was interested in the first few chapters but it actually started picking up for me at the latter part of the story. I find it a bit slow in pacing but the writing was very lovely.

I loved the easy chemistry between Archer and Ryan here; they are so opposite (physically and personality-wise) so they really tend to butt head but there’s something very likable about them. Perhaps, it’s how they both have deep longing for something permanent? In Ryan’s case, it is of course a common knowledge but with Archer, he’s unconsciously yearning for it that it’s almost heartbreaking.

Readers, please employ your patience towards Archer in the first few pages at least. The guy is trying and don’t look out for a lot of steamy scenes between Ryan and Archer. There’s just a couple of it which I figured isn’t really necessary in the story but yeah – beware – Archer is described here as a “manwhore” and ya’know what, it’s very easy to judge him at first (I did) and I admit I was wrong to do so.

Ryan is well, he’s almost perfect, and I loved his easy countenance with every situation and just life in general. He’s not boring but he’s what Archer exactly needed.

This family of four and their story is such a joy to read. I’m sure glad that my first book from this author was this wonderful story! I would definitely look out for more of her books within the year!

Highly recommended, this one is.

Book Review: Clockwork Heart (Clockwork Love, #1) – Heidi Cullinan [ARC]

Clockwork HeartRELEASE DATE: Feb 2, 2016
Format: Novel
Genre: Historical/Alternate History/Steampunk
Length: 240 pages, ebook
Publisher: Samhain Publishing
Cover Artist: Kanaxa
Ebook ISBN: 9781619227231
Print ISBN: 9781619233959
Characters: Johann Berger, Cornelius Stevens

First, let me tell you what I told myself immediately after finishing this book – “I need to reread the whole thing right away and enjoy it all over again!”lol. I just loved it! I feel that no matter how good the previous books of the author are (e.g., Nowhere Ranch, Dance With Me, Love Lessons etc…), this book just totally surpassed them all or maybe I’m still on that after-reading-an-awesome-book glow but seriously man, this is now my favorite book from Heidi Cullinan.

The book is a steampunk novel set in an alternate historical universe involving a beautiful, kinky tinker named Cornelius Stevens who saves an enemy soldier using clockwork parts. The soldier is Johann Berger, who woke up half-human half clockwork and who eventually learned that he’s got the clockwork heart as well – a weapon that their warring countries would kill to get their hands into. Chaos ensues as the enemy hunt Conny, Johann and their pirate crew to obtain the clockwork heart. With their hearts and lives on the line – they both knew that it’s going to be all or nothing for them.

Je te veux dans la bouche. Prends-moi par derrierre, la sur la table, et fais-moi hurler de plaisir. Tu veux bien faire cela pour moi, mon doux Johann?

Sex and (almost) magic. Truth. It’s deliciously magical with the steamy sex between Cornelius and Johann and some random… … … … yep, you get the point. The setting was truly fascinating to read I feel like being transported along with the characters. Yes! The old Europe! I can smell the air of Calais, I could see the Austrian Mountains, the Alps etc… The side characters are awesome! At first, I didn’t like Valentin (Conny’s BFF) but he eventually mellowed and I feel like his story needs to be told asap as well. I think I would be seeing his book in the future (with Captain Crawley, hopefully). Oh, and the pirates! Whoop! What a kick-ass crew! They should put a “Love Wins” tagline in their airship to be honest because they’re just so freaking awesome!

I couldn’t stress enough the super-awesomeness of this book! It’s just too lovely! I simply cannot wait what’s next for the series! What an epic start of a series! Heidi, you missy are way too fab! Highly recommended!

Book Review: Getting Him Back – K.A. Mitchell [ARC]

GEtting HIm BackRELEASE DATE: Feb 15, 2016
Format: Novel
Genre: New Adult / Romance / Contermporary
Length: 133 pages, ebook
Publisher: Carina  Press
Ebook ASIN: B018QI6TPM
Characters: Ethan Monro, Wyatt Reese

Charming, quirky, and unpretentious – I didn’t think that I would be describing this book as such when I first read its blurb. I feel like I’ve already read a thousand books like it but you know what – once I started reading it, I just couldn’t seem to stop because it was that good.

The book begins with tall and gangly Ethan Monroe following his high school sweetheart Blake to college only to get dumped on his first day there.

Enter the mysterious Wyatt Reese. Blake’s roommate and possibly his straight roommate. Ethan’s intention upon approaching Wyatt was to get information on how to win Blake back.  As he got to know the guy and their friendship deepens, Ethan thought it’s time to move forward from his ex and ventured into a new goal of making Wyatt believe that what they have is worth taking a chance.

I loved that even if the book is told entirely from Ethan’s POV, the author was still able to explore each (other) character and their personalities. I loved the attention the author gave to Waardenburg syndrome. I find it refreshing when the main character/s isn’t all supermodel in appearance where it almost always seemed like the prevailing pattern into describing physical perfection for book characters. Ethan here is not physically godlike here. Wyatt isn’t Christian Grey material either but both guys are realistically regular guys you can easily relate to. So that’s me basically saying that I both loved Ethan and Wyatt and thought they’re perfectly matched because of their opposite personality. Opposites attract yeah?

I also liked Ethan’s friends. Connor and Makayla are fabulous secondary characters! Both should be back for more because what is college life without your regular booze-buddy and your humans vs zombies playmates?

Overall, it was a perfect read for me. I won’t change anything in it because I’m perfectly content with the characters, their personality and the storyline and to where it is going in the future. This one I highly recommend.

Book Review: A Royal Craving – Elaine White [ARC]

a-royal-cravingRELEASE DATE: Feb 08, 2016
Format: Novel
Genre: Romance / Historical / Dystopian
Length: 323 pages, ebook
Publisher: Encompass Ink
Cover Artist:Rue Volley
Characters: Spencer, Prosper, Perry, Davian

I’ve been reading a lot of MPREG* books these past few months and I’ve to say this has one of the most unique premises so far and I just loved it! The story was told from multiple POVs where each character has unique voices throughout the book (so it doesn’t get confusing.) There are two main sub-plot involving royal twin vamps and two “human” companions but the story of Prosper (vampire king) and his human companion, Spencer is the focus of the story.

Spencer is deaf and has adoptive parents. When he was fourteen, he went to the prophetess to have his fate read. He was given two choices – a path to death and that of love.  His dark and bleak world turned for the better when the vampire king Prosper took him as its companion. Prosper became horribly disfigured after his father’s failed experiments and lives in the shadow until he stumbled upon Spencer who became a beacon for change not only about himself but everything around them.

This one isn’t exactly a short novel – it is rather long but it reads fairly quick because everything in it happens so fast. It may sound a bit odd to say that it’s not historical but it does sound like one based on their speech but there’s a reason behind it and I think it’s a promising plot to explore if ever the author ventured more into this world. It was a bit dystopian-ish but not quite.

I loved all of the characters in it even the evil sister of the vampire twins. Sienna’s a great character but well underdeveloped if I may say. The only reason I’m docking a star off this book is because I was waiting for the big reveal, a twist or some major conflict that will stir shit up which I thought will be caused by Sienna. Alas, it didn’t happen. I mean, I liked that Elaine didn’t see the need to venture into that but I wished it wasn’t just all smooth flowing for our characters.

To finish this off, I’d just like to say (again) that the setting of this story is truly wonderful and I’d love to see more of these characters in the future. Again, wonderful writing from Elaine who gave us The Cellist (one of my favorite reads from last year) and this one will surely tickle the readers who loved their sexy-broody-bloodsuckers! Recommended!

Book Review: Third Solstice (Tyack & Frayne, #6) – Harper Fox

third-solsticePublished December 17th 2015
Format: Novel
Genre: Paranormal / Romance / Contemporary
Length: 80 pages, ebook
Publisher: Foxtales Publications
Cover Artist: Harper Fox
Ebook ASIN: B019IYQKPM
Characters: Gideon Frayne, Lee Tyack

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Harper Fox released another book on her Tyack & Frayne Mystery series – and I knew I just had to get my paws on it pronto! I’ve re-read the series constantly ever since I got hold of the first book earlier last year and getting a glimpse of ‘em once again just makes me oh-so-happy!

This installment isn’t stand-alone since it includes characters from previous books which made me really happy (much so) since I really loved the “Kitto” one and he’s got a bit of a mention here.

As for the story here, it was all domestic for both Gideon and Lee and their daughter until said daughter started to show her psychokinetic abilities. It was also the winter solstice – also a time for new beginnings and everyone’s becoming what they should be.

I loved how Harper Fox focuses on their family this time and not all the odd things happening around them. I mean, it’s a given they’re an odd family what with all the paranormal stuff but this one feels more emotional in some way. Gideon and Lee’s relationship is stronger than ever, their careers are stable and just the whole domestic side is all so-endearing to read. Their love for their daughter is almost palpable and how they protect each other.

Reading the whole thing was like watching an episode of my favorite TV show. There were some issues at the beginning which got resolved easily at the end and that’s that. Purely enjoyable and you’d definitely want to ask for a repeat or perhaps the new “episode.” Highly recommended for the fans of the series!

Suddenly Miguel is fending off every single man on the planet to give Ezra room to get over Rico—while fighting a burning suspicion that the best thing to help Ezra get over his broken heart is Miguel.
