The Bet by J.L. Beck
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

~~ 3.5 Stars ~~

Sooo... I kind of struggled with this one. I stayed interested through the entire book and the writing was pretty good. I am a fan of Enemies to Lovers Trope as you would probably see going through my books and reviews. Also I am not one to shy away from Dark reads either. I LOVE a good Dark romance staring an angry hero with a weakness for his heroine.

This book promises that but I think it missed the mark on several fronts.

**SOME SPOILERS AHEAD Please don't read if you hate spoilage**

Firstly, I didn't really understand the volatility of the Hero's anger towards the heroine. Yes, she left and he was vulnerable at that time in his life. That blows, but it's not like she killed his dog, spat in his face, and told him to go fuck himself. She was a teenager who family was relocating ..... What the hell was she supposed to do??? The strength of his anger towards her seems a bit out of proportion for the 'crime' so to speak.

Secondly, I thought Jules' emotional reaction to the big 'betrayal' of the recordings was also extremely overblown. I mean, would I be pissed as hell about this, but she kind of went a little psycho with the whole "You're dead to me business", among other things.

IDK I think it just made the drama of the book a little OTT and not as believable as it would have been if the emotions were a little more realistic.

I also didn't like the fact that the hero was SUCH a whore. He doesn't have any relations with OW or anything during the timeline of the book -so that was a plus- but... It wasnt a deal breaker or anything, just a little ... icky.

Other than those few things I did enjoy the book and finished it to the end. I was also intrigued enough to read the next in the series. So that review is coming up next!

The Fadeaway by Rebecca Jenshak
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

LOVE LOVE LOVE ME SOME JOEL MORENO!!

Maybe that seems like too much enthusiasm, but I really don't care. As a secondary character Joel was one of my favorites and as a Hero; He makes the top 5.

Joel and "kitty" have such a FANTASTIC back and forth and off the pages chemistry! This book is absolutely a non-negotiable MUST read and make sure you have plenty of uninterrupted reading time because you will not want to put this one down.

I MAY have spent 4 hours in the bath finishing this book while my 3 year old yelled to me through the door why I have been in the bathroom so long... it's possible.
It's that good though!

Who doesn't love a hot playboy stuck on the one girl who just won't give him the time of day? Raise your hand... Anyone? Anyone??

You can't find that person!

Because they don't exist...

Just in case that wasn't clear...

ANYWAY... FANTASTIC, steamy, cute, fun, witty, unstoppable read and EVERYONE needs to read it

The Assist by Rebecca Jenshak
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I saw this book quite a while ago and shelved it it my TBR's. I just picked it up the other day and figured it might hit the spot for a College Romance craving I'd been having.

And boy did it ever!

This was such a cute, sweet, steamy, fun read!

Rebecca Jenshak is a new author for me but I will definitely be on the look out for more of her stuff. This book was filled with the best kind of tension, playful and fun characters, a sweet book boyfriend - who was not a man whore, for once - and no pointless angst. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Wes is a super sexy basketball stud who's been going through a rough time since he hurt himself of the court. He's been working to get back to his former star player self and has no room for relationships. It's his responsibility to get his team to the championships and win.
Blair is a fellow college student, sorority sister type without the 'ditz' who's trying to make it through the year with grades intact. She's failing her physics class and notices Mr. Hot Jock in the back can't even keep his eyes open during lecture, yet somehow is acing the course. A little bit of misjudgment on her part and snarkiness on his makes for a very fun start to their relationship.

This is a really fun enjoyable read and I would definitely recommend it to any fans of the new adult college romance :)

Review: His Love

His Love by Fiona Davenport
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This one was alright. It was a little too much for me.
I feel like the attraction starting at 16 is just a bit... icky... no action taken on the crush until after 18 but still...

I'm sure this totally works for some people, just not my cup of tea :/

Review: Captured

3.75 Insta-love stars...

New author for me and I have to say I enjoyed her style! These kind of books are absolutely great if you don't have a ton of time to invest in a life consuming novel that you know is going to be on your brain every second you can't read it. I'll get back to those again one of these days, but these types of reads are great craving satisfiers :)

Fun story! Very insta - Everything but you expect that going in.. at least you should :)

Review: Untouched

Untouched by Alexa Riley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

So I am on a little binge of these short lusty novellas right now and this is definitely one of those. There is even less angst than a normal Alexa Riley and I think I read it in 50 min. last night.

It's fun for a quick read :)
