Game (Gentry Boys #3) By Cora Brent



Stephanie...
As a bookie, I know more about money lines, pay sheets and point spreads than any six men. I always thought I was in control until a terrible betrayal taught me otherwise. The price was my dignity and I can't bear to make any more mistakes.
Chase Gentry figured it would be easy to get to me. He thought I was like every other girl, just dying to spread wide for him. I knew it was a rotten gamble to get mixed up with a guy too smart and too hot for his own good. Chase is destined to be as much trouble to those around him as he is to himself. But it's too late. He's already won my heart.
Everyone around us insists that we're wrong for each other; too intense, too explosive. Everyone might be right.

Chase...
Gentry men aren't supposed to be very bright. We're big. We're brutal. Women can't wait to invite us inside. I know I can have any one of them I want any time I want.
It seems unlikely that some bad-tempered chick and her snotty attitude would keep my interest but here it is. Stephanie has no idea what she does to me. I want that girl in more ways than I can even talk about.
It should have been enough to have her and be done with it. But no matter how volatile we are together, it's never enough. To hell with anyone who objects. I'm not letting her go.


I will admit this one is the best one in the Gentry boys that I've read. I know I didn't particularly get excited over the first two, but like I said in their reviews, I love the Gentry boys.  Especially Chase Gentry. He has made me laugh so much through the books, but not as much during this one. He's still a likable character. 

I liked Stephanie's character. She was stubborn, shy, sweet, caring, hard faced, but still managed to be so likable. The only thing I couldn't see Stephanie doing is falling in love as quickly as she did. Someone with her past, her trust issues and her personality, doesn't seem the type to just fall in love, especially with the biggest whore out of the Gentry boys. It's what made me not connect to the book. 
That said, it was better written than the other books.

Still Jaded (Jaded series #2) By Tijan



Sheldon, Bryce, and Corrigan ruled their school until a killer wanted to rule them. A year later and they're all back. Bryce is the local celebrity jock. Corrigan’s running a fraternity and Sheldon's hiding from all drama. However, she's quickly pulled back into their social world and accidents start happening. With the killer killed, who's trying to hurt Sheldon this time? Or maybe it's someone closer than she wants to admit? 
Jaded Series: 
Jaded 
Still Jaded 


Okay, after waiting to calm down a little I've decided to finally write my review for Still Jaded. Trust me this isn't going to be pretty LOL 

I have loved every single one of Tijan's work, but this one really blew me for six. I didn't know how to feel, like literally. I enjoyed the story plot because I'm dying to know what happens after that massive cliffhanger she leaves us with, but I felt so confused by the whole book. 
In this one there is a love triangle, sound simple? NOPE!!! 
I didn't even know where this triangle began or why. I felt like I missed something so vital throughout the book it made me curse and want to scream like a banshee (Like I said, not pretty) It wasn't just that, I felt every time a situation came up they talked in code, like we;re  meant to know what the hell they're talking about. Like we were there in Spain with them so we don't need the recap on what went down. Like hell. We seriously needed to know something to get a grip on what the hell they were talking about. Like I said, I felt lost. 

Ignoring the love triangle because that will piss you off, I actually found more action was happening in the book, more depressing, but I plodded through. 
I wish to god I knew what was happening with the three. I just feel like the whole story plot has gone off track for me. 

Anyway..... in this one, Sheldon has another stalker. Who? I have no bloody idea there are that many culprits. It seems she hasn't learnt her lesson from the first time LOL and is still as mean as they come. Some ways though, I felt like she grew up, but in others I felt like she didn't. She still acted immature, selfish and a lot of the time stuck in her own head, I hate that about a character that is meant to be strong. We don't see a lot of Bryce in this one which is upsetting and what we did see puts us off of him. To be fare, unlike Fallen crest where I'm completely in love with Both Logan and Mason, I can't seem to like either Bryce or Corrigan now lol They've both gone down hill, like fast.


I rate it a 3*

Playing for keeps (The Game series #2) By Emma Hart



She's in love with him. 
He's trying not to love her. 
One night changes everything.

Aston Banks never meant to get close to Megan Harper - not even for that one night. Haunted by a childhood he refuses to face, he knew she could break through every wall he'd ever built and tear them down without even realizing she was doing it. 

Betraying Braden by starting a relationship with Aston wasn't on Megan's to-do list, but the second she sees a glimpse of someone other than the arrogant ass she's come to know, she can't walk away. 

Aston's childhood is worse than Megan ever guessed, but as he tries and fails to push her away, it's clear her love is stronger than the demons that cling to him every day. And now, because of it, he finally has to deal with what he's buried deep down. 

What he doesn't want to face. What he's fought against for so long. 

And they have to do it all without Braden finding out.

Keeping a relationship secret has never been harder.

Playing for keeps is the second novel in the game series by Emma Hart. I hadn't heard of this until someone on my blog page recommended it to and i'm so glad they did. I loved it. 

I found a few faults with the book and it did drag on in places but it never took me from wanting to rush the book, in fact, I was stuck between wanting to absorb it and devour it. I love a young adult romance. I love the first in the series so I was glad Emma kept on with the characters. I had loved Ashton in the first one, so I'm glad we got a inside to him. 

His story reminds me a lot of Baby P's story, but with a better outcome. It completely broke me reading the things that Ashton went through. It's hard to stomach anyone being hurt, but for a defenseless child being beaten, their protectors, their guardians, not doing a thing to stop it, prevent it or protect is just sickening. 
He has dealt with what happened better than I would have let's put it that way. The only thing that confused me during the whole book was his need for sex. In the book he says to Megan that they told him numerous of times he'd end up like his mom. Sex, drugs and countless men, selling herself etc. In stead of proving them wrong in an extent, he went out and slept with anything with a pulse and somewhere to get off. Kind of not the point. 
I think Emma did a fantastic job writing his feelings, how she made them come across made them that much real. 

Then we have Megan, his knight-in-shining-armor, she comes into his darkness bringing her light. She doesn't let him push her away when things get dark for him and he finally lets someone in. Megan. 
She's such a lovable character and when they have their banter arguments I was in stitches. Even when they were secretly together they still had banter moments that had an inside meaning to just them too. Kind of cute now I think about it. 

There were a few parts in the book that didn't make sense to me. Here is an example. 

"Honestly though, I thought he was gonna kill his mom the amount of times she embarrassed him.'' she giggles and we sink into the armchairs. "I've never seen a guy before.''

"I've never seen a guy before'' ????? um?? I'm pretty sure she was talking to a guy. There were a few more like this. I never highlighted them all, but this is one that had me re-reading over to see if I missed something.

All in all I rated the book a 3* and I'll be reading the next one for sure, I just hope the writing is better mapped out. It did ruin the book, but not the actual story. It was just as sweet, romantic, and cute as it should have been. Loved it.

The love game By Emma Hart




His challenge? Make her fall in love with him.
Her challenge? Play the player.
Until life changes the rules of the game.

Maddie Stevens hated Braden Carter on sight. Arrogant, egotistical, and the playboy of the University of California, Berkeley, he's everything her brother Pearce has taught her to despise. So why, when the girls challenge her to play the player, doesn't she say no? She doesn't know either.

Braden wanted fiery little Maddie the second he laid eyes on her - and he'd do anything to have her, hence why he's agreed to make her fall in love with him. After all, it's the only way he'll get what he wants. Sex.

But, as Braden discovers, there's more to the girl from Brooklyn than he ever imagined - and he can't help but care about the broken girl behind those pretty green eyes.

Maddie finds Braden isn't just a walking erection - he actually has feelings. He can be sweet, funny and his good looks don't exactly hurt. That means trouble - but when her brother Pearce turns up in Berkeley begging for her help, she realises Braden and Pearce aren't so alike anymore.

And maybe, just maybe, they're exactly what each other needs.


Ahhhh, what can I say. I love this book and have read it a few times now, but only just getting around to reviewing. So for those who haven't yet met Maddie and Branden, then get ONE CLICKING!!. 

I'm a huge fan of American College Romance novels. I don't know why. It may be because of their surroundings, their social life's and what have you. I just find it more realistic than I would if someone here from the UK were to write one based here in the UK. 
The Love Game is just one of the best ones out there. 

Maddie attends a party with a bunch of her friends when she sees the local, walking, male erection. He's a fu*k um and dump um kind of boy, so when Maddie's friends challenge her because she's immune (so she thinks) to his charms, to play the player, she hesitatingly accepts.What she wasn't expecting was for Branden to be someone totally different to who she thought he'd be, her brother. 

Branden is every young girls dream. He's hot, athletic, and charming. He knows what he wants and he isn't afraid to get it. 
When he sees Maddie, he labels her a princess so to speak. Thinking she had a stick up her own ass was a judgment he'd never take back. 
To be honest, it was funny to see the two try not to fall for each other. You could see it coming a mile away, yet, it still didn't ruin the book for you. 

The ending was amazing and like they always say, two wrongs don't make a right, but in this case their wrongs? Made a right.

Draw (Gentry boys) #1 By Cora Brent



SAYLOR… 
I don’t even know if love is real. After running from the bastard who brutalized me, I limped back to Arizona, choosing a vibrant college town in the hopes of starting over. I never expected to find him there. 
Cord Gentry. 
He and his brothers were tough, lusty forces of nature I’d known since childhood. Years ago, Cord seduced me as a sick game. I’ve hated him ever since. Now here he is again, a man who beats other men bloody for money. 
Cord has always been heartless, dangerous, not to be trusted. 
And I want him so much I can’t think. 

CORD… 
They called us ‘those white trash Gentry boys’ until we believed that’s what we were. Our people squatted at the edge of a hellhole prison town for generations. The childhood we endured was the stuff of nightmares. I’d learned early on that my brothers, Chase and Creed, were the only people on earth worth my time. 
They all told us we were bad, that we’d always be bad. 
The horrors of the past have scarred my soul. 
But now I need to be better. 
For her. 


For some reason I haven't gotten around to writing a review, but I remember the book so well and because I've just read the second book, I thought I'd write this out before I forget. 

Saylor is from a small town. As it says in the blurb Cord seduced her in a sick game he had with his brothers. He had her humiliated afterwards, letting everyone know he had taken the towns virgin. If I was Saylor I would never have forgiven him, but then years later she escapes her boyfriend after he hits her and goes running to her cousin, but instead runs into the person she has hated since she was a teen. 

Cord, is one of the Gentry triplets. He and his brother don't come from a good home and was beaten by the dead beat father, tortured and left with nightmares of their childhoods still years later. All Cord ever had was his brothers. His mom didn't help him, his dad was always beating them and the town folks and labelled them trash. 
When they're old enough they escape they're shitty home. Cord is honest about the mistakes he's made in life and is sorry for what happened with Saylor. 
Only she isn't the same girl she was back then and he finds him self more drawn to her. 
There relationship felt rushed to me, but I still enjoyed the story. Saylor's ex isn't happy, so they have that to deal with, but also the lifestyle choice Cord has. He's a fighter and Saylor doesn't like it. 
The book ends on a high after one of the brothers is badly beaten leaving one with no choice but to make a deal with the devil. 
I promise you won't be disappointed with this story. 
The Gentry boys are extremely hot.

Risk (Gentry Boys #2) By Cora Brent



TRULY...
My life hasn't been uneventful and a few things should have sunk in by now. I'm a tired age twenty one with a laundry list of heartbreaks. Most of all, I know what carnage comes from carelessly risking the heart. So what drives me to jump into bed with a brooding player who can barely carry a conversation?
It was supposed to be just one night.
One night of weakness, of passion, of every impulse I'd struggled to contain.
Yet I can't stop myself from going back for more.
 
CREED...
Violence had always found us Gentrys but this time I'd put the price on my own head. It was my cross to bear. No flinching allowed. There was only room for me, my brothers, and the resolve to survive. That's all there ever had been.
There was certainly no reason for more than than a quick and dirty time with any girl, no matter how much she turned my head around.
I shouldn't hold on to her for more than a few hours. I shouldn't even think about it. This thing could finish us both.
It doesn't matter. She's all I want.


I liked the first book in the Gentry boys series, but just like the first novel I felt like this lacked something. I don't know what or how the best way to describe it. I felt like an emotion or something was missing from the book. 

Creed, although is a triplet, comes across as the eldest brother. I don't picture them as triplets. I always feel Creed is the eldest, Cord is the middle child and Chase is the youngest. It's just the way they are preserved in the stories. The way they act, the way they treat each other, when really they should be equal. But it doesn't come across like that, not that I mind, I like that they all look the same, but all have different personalities. 
Creed is the mysterious one out of the group, the protector, the one who cares deeply on the inside but doesn't let it show to anyone other than his brothers. 
So when he made the deal with the devil in the first novel I honestly didn't know what to expect in this novel. I wish the deal part had played out differently, but it still worked, it just lacked emotion, any drive to make you want to say 'oh no'. 
I tried my hardest to connect to that part of the book but I just couldn't. 

Then we have Truly. Her name kind of annoyed me LOL because I kept saying it as a word and not a name. Not  the authors fault, my own LOL such a petty comment I know, but I should warn others who tend to do the same. 
I really loved her character. I wasn't too keen on her past story. It made it come across like something terrible had happened. Like when she admitted to something she did for the reason she left home, she makes it sound like her sisters never knew the truth. So it made me think it wasn't as straight forward as she told it. But then she tells Creed everything and it really is as straight forward. I think she overacted a little. I also know someone with the same story as Truly. Sleeping with their moms boyfriend and getting pregnant. I know that this can happen. I just didn't feel sorry for her if that makes sense. 

Okay well enough of the babbling. You've heard enough, but it is a good series too read even if my review comes across as negative, it's still a fantastic read. It's one I'll be waiting to read the next one.

Fallen Forth Down (Fallen Crest Series #4) By Tijan



My mother tried to destroy me. She doesn’t exist to me anymore and my father, the one who raised me and the biological one, are both works in progress. The only two people that I can trust are Mason and Logan, and they’re the two people who I could lose. It won’t happen. I won’t let it. No matter the truth, no matter who loves me, I won’t let anything or anyone come between us. 
They’re my world. They’re my life. 
They’re my family. 

I have been waiting for this book for so bloody long, I nearly died of excitment when a friend rang me to tell me it's live. It didn't help I was in the middle of a food store, squealing over a book being released LOL 

I have a mixed review on this book. Like massive mixed reviews. 
I have always wondered where Tijan was going with Fallen fourth down, so I was surprised she went completely off track in this one in places. Here are my reasons why....

1) It says Sam lost her virginity with Jeff's cousin Jackson in this one, but in the first one Jeff comments to her about having sex once and never having it off her again. Also, she tells Mason she has only had sex once. (Where the new story line came from I don't know)
2) Mason in the second novel, towards the end, confesses his love to Sam. She know's she loves him too, but he knew before she did that she loved him. Anyway, they're having this conversation where Sam asks his views on cheating (Her way of asking if he'd cheat) and Mason then comments about not having time for people who cheat, he says it's weak, no matter how bad a relationship is etc, there is no excuse. So, why in this novel, did Mason not react to his discovery about her cheating? which brings me to my next fault, but I'll get to that in a minute. I was certain he would react badly, look at Sam differently as I'm sure (but not certain on this) that when they had this conversation in the second novel, he told Sam he knew she weren't like everyone else. She wasn't a cheat, she knew the affects cheating causes etc. 
3) Then we have the whole Logan issue. This statement is going to sound pretty cryptic because I don't want to give anything away. Basically, the third installment ended with Tate telling Sam Logan loved her. So when it all comes out, no one reacted the way I thought they would, especially Mason. 
4) Marissa. I don't know where to begin. So many thing's didn't add up. It says in this novel that they were friends for years, although Tate had picked on her at a cabin party in book one. Again, it didn't add up. Tate had said on one scene she felt bad about what she had done to Marissa and went to make things right before going back to Fallen crest, but then she contradicts herself by saying she's been friends with her for years. I thought maybe the fight at the cabin had been a set up, but then towards the end Marissa bares all and again, nothing adds up. 

Put aside all these issues, which are easily ignored, I absolutely loved the book. I didn't like how it ended. It felt to abrupt for me, but I think it's because the old Mason and Logan just come back. Throughout the book I felt like they had changed. 
Then we have Logan, my lovely Logan ;) he had me in stitches numerous of times throughout the book. I couldn't stop the laughter from breaking out. It was so goddamn funny. 
I also loved how Sam started sticking up for herself with people, but I still don't get why she's so mean to her dad. Not her real one the one who raised her. She as well as any of them know how her mother was so really she should sympathize with her dad on that matter, not be against him. 
I would have loved to have read more about her relationship with Marks mom. There's a scene in the book that not only made me laugh, but made me feel like crying. I hope Sam has a happy ending, I hope they all do. 
I cannot wait for the next in the series to come out. I just hope we're not all left hanging, and it's ready mid year next year.

Rival (Fall away series Book Two) By Penelope Douglas



Madoc and Fallon. Two estranged teenagers playing games that push the boundaries between love and war . . . 

She's back.
For the three years she's been away at boarding school, there was no word from her. Back when we lived in the same house, she used to cut me down during the day and then leave her door open for me at night.

I was stupid then, but now I'm ready to beat her at her own game . . .

I'm back.

Three years and I can tell he still wants me, even if he acts like he's better than me.

But I won't be scared away. Or pushed down. I'll call his bluff and fight back. That's what he wants, right? As long as I keep my guard up, he'll never know how much he affects me . . . 

Oh my God. I absolutely loved this book. I took a gamble with it being 2.99, but my God it was so worth it. I really needed this book in my life right now. I've been having a bad case of one stars lately, so this has made up for all of them. I loved it. 
I still haven't read Until you, the second novel in the fall away series because of it been in the same story but in another POV. 
Then I saw this on my recommendation list and knew I had to have it. I liked Madoc, a little, in the last novel BULLY, but I always found his a jerk. I was so glad when I read this novel it had it in his POV as well. 

Fallen is such an unusable name, it had taken me a while to get used to. I really enjoyed her character, and loved the fact she wasn't another perfect character. She had flaws. She wasn't this made up, perfect, goody two shoes. She wore piercings, tattoos, and wore glasses. I really did love her character. 
Then we have Madoc, who every girl at a school would love to get their hands on. He's the boy, girls crush on, wishing they were his girl. That bad boy vibe, rich, cocky, and drop dead gorgeous. Who wouldn't want to be with him? aha 

This book, although kind of the same, is so much steamier than Bully. It was completely hot!!! I was so glad it got spiced up because it made the book better. Although, I did get kind of annoyed towards the end at how many sex scenes there were. I just wanted to read the story plot. 
The story plot was brilliant and well thought out. I couldn't wait to see how it turned out. 
I read the sneaky peak at the next book and I can't wait to read about Jax. I seriously want to know everything about him. He's this tortured soul who you really want to get to know. I felt so sad at the end of this book at what he did. I really wanted someone to ask him, to shout at him for what he did, but it wasn't mentioned :( I just don't like the thought of him forcing himself to do something he didn't want to do, just to make others happy. 
There goes my protective side again!!! 

5* I cannot wait to read the next one.

FateBook By Mimi Jean Pamfiloff



DAKOTA DANE IS ABOUT TO TELL A LIE SHE'LL WISH SHE HADN'T. Because her lie is dangerous, sexy, and just showed up on campus, angry as hell and looking for her... 

Ugly duckling Dakota Dane has a new boyfriend. He’s male-model gorgeous, built to perfection, wealthy, and smart. He is also a lie. As in, 100% fabricated. Does it matter that Dakota has a perfectly good reason for making him up? Not really. Not when Dakota’s made-up boyfriend shows up in the flesh. 

So is she crazy? All signs point to maybe. But the walking, talking enigma with the deadly vibe isn’t about to give her any answers or let her out of his sight. And with college just around the corner, Dakota fears her dreams of a bright future have just collided with a dark rabbit hole… 
~~~ 
Fate. 

Such a simple word, isn’t it? But there’s nothing simple about it. Not for me, anyway. Not when it comes to this man. I have no idea who the hell he is, where he came from, or what he wants, but his dangerous vibe tells me I should run away and never look back. 

But I can’t. 

Because as much as he scares the hell out of me, his sinfully dark gaze and what it does to me is ten times more powerful. 

And I know I want something I shouldn’t. I should want my sanity. I should want college and parties and this dream I’ve waited for my whole life. I should want to keep that promise I made myself back in high school to make something of my life. 

But now I’m looking at him, his powerful body, his predatory gaze, his sinfully shaped lips, and I know I’ll never be able to walk away. So I simply keep lying to myself about there being a reason for all this. I simply tell myself it must be fate.


Oh My God..... 
Fate book has to be one of the most brilliant and unique reads that I've read in a while. 
I thought this book was going to be so different from what I got. It was so much more amazing. 
I couldn't put the thing down until I had finished it. 

The characters are both believable characters and so is the story to an extent. The only scene I thought was a little far fetched was the sex scene, but I'm not ruining that. 
I loved the fact the author made it so believable. Like you were reading from someone's experience. You know when you read a book, and you question everything one of the heroins are doing? well, Dakota questions everything and I liked that. It made the book that much more real. 

Then we have the hot male heroin. Oh My God, if I knew making up a facebook boyfriend would actually get me one, i'd do it within a second LOL 
Loved his character, his personality, and his hot looks ;)

The blurb doesn't do it justice. 5* read from me.

Stupid girl By Cindy Miles




After her senior year of high school leaves behind nothing but heartache, Olivia Beaumont is sure of this: She's no stupid girl. She sets out for Winston College, promising herself that she will remain focused on her first and only love - astronomy. But all it takes is cocky sophomore Brax Jenkins and an accidental collision with a football, to throw her entire year off course.

A quick-tempered Southie who escaped the inner city streets of Boston to pitch for Winston, Brax is known to play way more fields than just the baseball diamond. So, when his name is drawn to take part in his fraternity's hazing dare, Brax eagerly accepts the mission to take Olivia's virginity. But he doesn't plan on falling hard for the sweet and sassy Texas girl who sees right through his bad-boy persona.

As Olivia and Brax battle their feelings for each other, echoes of the past year begin to surface. A boy who once turned Olivia's whole world upside down reappears, and "harmless" pranks wreak havoc. Pretty soon the aspiring astronomer is on the verge of revealing her most difficult, heartbreaking secret. All the while, Brax must wrestle with the irrevocable dare, and Olivia struggles against all logic as she does the one thing only a stupid girl would do: fall in love.


I really have mixed views on this novel. Stupid girl seems to fit the title. I'm sorry, but she was raped, and thought she couldn't remember, and because they had a video of her off her face? um, no. That's still rape. What pissed me off was her BROTHERS found her, with him. Yet, he was never charged with anything because he's rich. I'm sorry. She had hospital evidence, along with the blood tests saying she was drugged, a personal statement about her personality from a teacher to show what person she is, and plus two eye witnesses. And they didnt do anything. I still didnt understand even when she explained. As a mom, I would lose everything I owned to send down someone who touched my daughter, even if in the end they got off scott free. Anywayyyy .... like I said mixed issues. 

I loved the characters in the novel, kind of. It was a typical geek meets Jock story and it was cliche all the way through, but it worked. Kind of. 
I also found it dragged a lot and found myself skipping through pages. 

I did give it a 3* Because although I clearly have my issues with the novel, I still finished it happily and wanted to know the outcome.

Finding us By S K Hartley



I'm loud, I'm proud, and I like to bust balls in my spare time. 
At least, that's what Low Parker would do. But she is just a mask, one I have perfected over years of running. 

I am Willow Knoxx. Master of deception, secrets, and lies. 

I am the girl your mother told you to stay away from, and the girl your father fantasized about. I have been running for years, always looking over my shoulder. 

Now, the mask I have perfected is about to disappear, and everything I have done to keep myself hidden is about to be revealed.


Read the first two in the series a while back so i got to know the character Willow rather well. Never did I think she hid a life like this at all. 

I will say this book disappointed me. I honestly found it repeating it self over and over until 68% in then things got good. 
I like Willow, and I LOVE Tate. 
It was nice towards the end things got good otherwise it would have been a disaster. I liked how things come out of the wood work when things got interesting.

Pure Will By Kristie Pelton





Growing up without a mother, Camden never learned the rules of sex until introduced to them by a bad boy who took advantage of her innocence—breaking her. 

Will spiraled into a world of darkness following an unbearable hurt…in turn using women and alcohol to dull the pain. 

Two wounded people…coming together under awkward circumstances…healing each other…until the bad boy from Camden’s past finds her… 

Does Will have the power to fight for someone worth fighting for? 


Camden Biggs, the daughter of a professional baseball player…lost her mother at age 9. Eager to be loved, she fell in love with the hottest, bad boy she’d ever met at age 15, Max. Totally off limits and living under the same roof, she succumbed to his manipulations until he was forced out of her life—hanging on to a promise to only give herself to him. 

Will Denton raised by a trailer trash father and a trust fund mother had a taste of both worlds and all sorts of women—especially when he dove into a world of darkness following a tragedy and loss of his own.

Fall into forever By Beth Hyland





A girl with a past she can't remember. A guy with a past he can't forget.

Ivy McAllister had it all. Perfect boyfriend. Perfect life. Perfect future. Or so they tell her. Because one night, on a dark country road, a fiery crash changed everything...and Ivy can't remember what happened.

Now, two years later, at a new college far from home, she tries to regain control of her life, but her plans don't include a tattooed, motorcycle-riding, indie music-obsessed guy with his own sorority girl fan club.

Jon Priestly is the hottest guy at Pacific State University. Just ask his groupies. But with a dark past he must keep hidden, he shuts himself off emotionally and trusts no one. That is...until he meets a broken girl with haunting green eyes and secrets of her own.

Ivy shouldn't be attracted to Jon. They're wrong for each other in every possible way. Yet as they spend time together, something about him--everything about him--feels so right.

But when threats from her past make her question what little she does remember, Ivy must decide whether to run again or trust the one person she can't live without.

College Girl By Sheila Grace



She's a student. He's the teacher. And their worlds are about to collide ... 

In her second term of college Alex Reed has one thing on her mind: passing Calculus. So when her professor introduces Ryan Matthews, the new TA, she writes him off in a second. Tall, hotter than hell—clearly a major ego case. Whatever. Guys like him don’t notice girls like her. Besides, she’s never even kissed a guy, so her sex-crazed roommate can have Mr. Hot. 

*** 

Ryan Bennett left the family business and his pill-popping ex-fiancée to do something for himself. Then, only months before finishing his doctorate under an assumed name, he walks into his advisor’s freshman Calculus class and sees her. Alex Reed. The last thing he needs. Young, inexperienced—and off limits. But when someone who shouldn't follows her across campus at night, he’s forced to do something about it. 

What happens next will change their lives forever.

Price of a kiss by Linda Kage


I don't care what my cousin says; I am not the queen of impossible relationships. I mean, just because my last boyfriend tried to kill me and left a bit of a scar on my neck, then forced me to move across the country and legally change my name to Reese Randall to escape him, does not mean-

Oh, who am I kidding? For a freshman in college, I have to have the worst dating track record ever.

It's no wonder love is the last thing on my mind when Mason Lowe enters my life. But the chemistry between us is like bam! Our connection defies logic. And he's just so freaking hot. Being around him makes me feel more alive than I've ever felt before. I even like bickering with him. He could be my soul mate...except for one teeny tiny glitch.

He's a gigolo.

Boy, do I know how to pick them.
