Review: Fractured Paths by Heather Anne

Fractured Paths 

by 

Heather Anne

    

Skylar

Getting away from the wreckage of my past should have been the best thing for me.

I believed there was something bigger and better out there.

I believed I could whole-heartedly love again.

Finding someone who didn't even have a fraction of a heart to give never crossed my mind.

He infuriates, consumes and devastates me.

I wish I did the same for him, because I can't bring myself to walk away.

Grayson 

One bad decision changed my life.

Minutes, seconds, they culminated into the worst thing that's ever happened to me.

For years I've been trying to drown the pain and guilt.

Now there's light, beauty, and hope.

This shouldn't be mine.

She's made me want it; crave it.

But the pills in my pocket are the strongest part of me.

They always will be.

Review


***I received an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.***

This love story made me giggle like a little girl and cry at the same time. This is a touching story about two people who meet after having similar pasts that haunt themselves. No matter where they turn, they are pulled to each other. Now the choice is theirs to take the jump and hope everything works out or to just walk away for what could be...

Grayson and Skylar deal with so much struggle, and pain trying to overcome their pasts. This book includes everything from suicide, to drug addiction, to two people trying to overcome their past, but fight it at the same time. The writing makes you feel the struggle Grayson and Skylar deal with, which makes this an extremely emotional read. 


I honestly loved this book! I read this within a couple of hours and just couldn't stop! I am a huge fan of supporting new authors, but sometimes you never know how the actual story will turn out. This new author is talented and this was a book I will never forget. The only reason I will not give 5/5 stars is due to the minor editing errors, but they were easy to read through and enjoy the book. I cannot wait for the next book in this series and look forward to more books from the very talented Heather Anne!

Rating 4.5/5 

Heather Anne’s passion has always been reading and writing. After many years she finally crosses “writing a novel” off of her bucket list.  When she isn’t fangirling over fictional characters, Heather can be found, usually with a cup of coffee or energy drink in hand, playing with her son and their overly affectionate bunny, Charlotte.  When this New York native has time to herself, she enjoys karaoke, live music, 80’s movies and rewatching her favorite TV shows over and over again.

Review: Obligated by Renee C. Leigh

Obligated

by Renee C Leigh

Blurb:

Christmas is supposed to be the happiest time of year, right? Wrong... I've spent most of my life feeling obligated to take care of everyone and everything around me. This year, I'm almost to my breaking point. Meeting Zane seems to be the highlight of the holiday, but he's only sticking around for a couple of weeks. 

When a crazy stalker comes after me... Will anyone be there to take care of me? Or will I have to be my usual self and handle it alone. 

Review:

This is the first book I have read from the wonderful Renee C Leigh. She is a new author who is very talented. 

The book starts off with a girl who has been broken her entire life, but she is a strong woman and does what she needs to do to go through life. Her cousin comes to visit with this mysterious man named Zane. Did I mention he is sexy as hell and she really wants him? 

This book is a must read! I cannot wait to read more from this new and talented author. 

Rating: 4.5/5

Blog Tour: Evil by Tijan

Evil 

by Tijan 

Blurb: 

You know that group of people in school that everyone fears? Popular. Beautiful. The in-crowd?

That was my family. Kind of.

We were above that group. We held court over everyone else. We were the best looking. We were the mysterious and elusive ones. Most of the girls wanted to (and did) date the guys, but they didn't want to be one of us. They couldn't be. They were our prey.

We were the feared.

But like every family, nothing is as it seems. That was my truth.

Kellan was in his own league. He was our leader and he was the one no one messed with. No one dared. He was ruthless, powerful, and no one could match him...

Except for me.

I was about to find out just how different I was from my family.

**Evil is a full-length paranormal romance stand-alone.

**This book contains adult/mature young adult situations.

Review: 

I had the honor to receive an ARC in exchange for an honest review. 

I have to say, I have been in quite the reading funk where I start something but don't feel like reading it after a couple of chapters. And yes this has happened with authors I love! Im not sure if it is the weather or if I just needed to read a different genre. Well this book drove me out of my funk and I Loved it!

This book is classic Tijan but with a paranormal twist! This is just what I needed. I loved this book from beginning to end and cannot wait to read the next book!

The only thing I didn't care for was classic Tijan is the brother - sister romance. Obviously in all of her stories, they aren't related but it is still odd and I think some people have a hard time getting around that. Please move past that in this book because it was AMAZING! 

Oops... Did I give away too much? Guess you will have to read this and find out! 

I cannot wait for the next book to find out what happens!

Rating: 4.5/5

About the Author: 

I didn't start writing till later in life. I hope I'm doing it right, and if not, I'll continue to keep trying! Nothing special about me. I've got an English Cocker that I absolutely adore, a man I couldn't be without, and this insatiable need to keep writing the words, all the words!

Redemption and Regrets by L.A. Cotton 

Chastity Falls #4 

Publication Date: April 12, 2016 

Genres: Contemporary, Romance, New Adult, Suspense, Mystery

Purchase: Amazon US | Amazon UK | iBooks | Kobo | Nook

Blurb:

Four years ago, I had everything. All it took was the snap of his fingers and he ripped it out from under me. 

Betrayed, by my own father.

His enemies want me dead and old allies want me back in their ranks to help take what's owed. And while I’m trying to figure out what I want, there's her. The one I watch from the shadows, afraid to bare myself to her—the real me. 

Hard. Cold. Deadly.

She should fear me—Braiden Donohue—but I’m not the only one keeping secrets, and I must discover what she's hiding. 

Before it’s too late.

Redemption will be afforded, regrets will be atoned. 

Welcome back to Chastity Falls.

Review:

L.A. Cotton has done it again with the last book in her Chastity Falls series. I really have a special place in my heart for all these characters so I was so excited to read this book! I ended up reading it in one sitting because I just couldn't put it down!  

This book was about Braiden who I couldn't stand in the other book! I thought he was a cold hearted piece of work for everything he has done throughout his short life. However, after reading this book and seeing how going to jail changes him, it makes me proud of him for overcoming obstacles that were mafia related. 

I don't want to give away too much, but I love Cara! She really is the one who makes Braiden see who he wants to be versus who he was. She also stands her grounds and fights for what she wants. Anyways you will have to read the book to find out more on her. My lips are sealed!

I am really sad to have finished this book so quickly and for the series to be over, but I know L.A. Cotton will have another amazing series in the works! She is just amazing like that!

xoxo

Rating: 5/5

Booking Blitz: Catching Summer by L.P. Dover

Catching Summer
L.P. Dover
(Second Chances #6)
Published by: Loveswept
Publication date: April 5th 2016
Genres: Adult, Romance, Suspense

Former nurse Summer Jacobs has seen her fair share of suffering, but she never expected tragedy to hit so close to home. After watching her husband die in the MMA ring, Summer spends the next two years fighting her way through the darkness. The last thing she needs is another hardheaded athlete turning her life upside down. But that’s exactly what happens when she meets a gridiron star who’s as skilled at stealing hearts as he is at snagging passes.
Carolina Cougars wide receiver Evan Townsend usually has no problem winning fans, so he’s intrigued when Summer shoots down his go-to plays for winning a woman’s attention. Never one to back down from a challenge, Evan turns up the heat, setting off sparks that neither can deny. But as his slow seduction begins to chase away Summer’s pain, he gets the feeling that someone is desperate to keep them apart. Now Evan will do anything to protect her—because he never misses a chance to make a perfect catch.

EXCERPT:

Once out the door, I breathed a sigh of relief and slowed my pace. “Come on, Summer, stop acting like an idiot.”

“Talking to yourself now?” Evan teased from behind.
I stopped mid-step and closed my eyes. “Do you enjoy provoking me?”
When he circled around me, I opened my eyes. “Not really, but I do love seeing you blush. I didn’t realize I had that effect on you.”
“You seriously are full of yourself, aren’t you?” How could I be so stupid? There was no way in hell I could hide my face now. I didn’t want him to know how flustered he made me.
Chuckling, he shook his head and kept his gray eyes solely on mine. “I’m really not. I was just hoping to hear your laugh again. I guess I didn’t get enough of it yesterday.”
“So, this is you flirting with me? What do you expect to gain from that?”
He took a step closer and smiled. “For starters, I was hoping to persuade you to come to my party after the game Saturday night.”
My heart thumped wildly in my chest. I could feel the sweat pouring down my back. “Like what? A date?”
“Only if you want it to be. I just figured I’d save you the trouble of having to ward off my teammates. I can name three of the guys who are interested in you. My threats to stop their advances can only go so far.”
“What if I didn’t want to go to your party? I can easily just tell them I’m not interested.”
He nodded and crossed his arms over his chest. “You could, but that doesn’t mean shit to these guys. They’ll keep hounding you until you give in. They love the chase.”
“Just like you,” I retorted with a smile.
“What can I say? I’m relentless when I want something.” I sucked in a breath and bit my lip. Did he really want me like that? The thought made everything inside of me tighten. It was too dangerous to think of him like that.
“So are you trying to save me from your friends or are you really wanting me to join you? I know how you guys work, and I don’t want to be a part of some game you’re playing to get girls.”
His grin faded, gaze hard. “I don’t play games, Summer. I may have in the past, but I would never do that to you. Have I ever given you the impression that you can’t trust me?”
Sighing, I shook my head. I felt like such an idiot. “No, and I’m sorry for being presumptuous. It’s just . . .” I paused and bit down on the side of my cheek.
“It’s just what?” he asked in all seriousness.
“It’s just this is all new to me. All I’ve ever known is Austin. Being around you makes me nervous. I’m not like the girls you’ve brought into the restaurant. If it’s sex you want, you can forget it. I’m not one of your groupies.” For a second there, I thought he was at a loss for words, but then he belted out in laughter. Ouch, that hurt. “I’m glad I could amuse you.”
When he straightened up, he took off his hat and ran his hands through his hair. And again, my heart sped up at the sight. Shit. “Damn, you are a fiery one. And just so we’re clear, I’m not trying to fuck you or trying to put another notch in my belt. Believe it or not, I’m actually interested in something else.”
“What is that, exactly?”
“I don’t know, but I’m hoping you can help me figure it out.” Grabbing my hand, he pulled me toward his truck. “Let’s go.”
