Book Review: Bend by Kivrin Wilson

Review:
Bend (The Water Series Book 1) by Kivrin Wilson.

Surprise!! 
Two posts in one night. I’m on a roll. I have an anatomy test at 8 A.M. Monday (tomorrow, technically) morning, but here I am at 3 A.M. on a Sunday writing another book review. Phew. I need to get my priorities straight. 
This week on book reviews: Bend. It’s part of a series called The Waters which cracks me up because when I was younger, I watched this show called Avatar: The Last Airbender. Every time I see the title, I think Water Bender and then I crack up some more. 
As a nursing student myself, I love stories where my main c’s are in the medical field. Mia (h) is a nurse practitioner (ironically, also what my ultimate goal is) and Jay is a handsome doctor in his second year of residency. Jay has these amazing blue eyes, according to the author. I’m mentioning this because I’m sitting here wondering if that’s why it’s part of The Waters Series? I mean, it takes place in SoCal, so there’s that. I don’t know. She focused on his blue eyes a lot (not that I’m complaining, I’m a specific reader. I like reading about eyes. There are the windows to the soul after all. Chris has beautiful hazel eyes. When he wears black or green, they look greener. God, I love staring into his eyes. I’m blushing. I like eyes, okay?)

MIA

Jay Bradshaw. My boyfriend’s best friend. 

He was never supposed to be anything more—until he was. 

When my college boyfriend betrayed me and left, breaking my heart, Jay picked a side. He chose me. He stayed, and for the past six years, he’s been my rock, my anchor, my compass…

Now we’ve grown up, finished school, and have careers. Me as a nurse practitioner; Jay as a doctor. He’s been everything I needed, but now I want more. I can’t stop thinking about him, and I’m done hiding it.   

It’s time to find out if he wants me, too. 


JAY



A friend. Not a lover. That’s who Mia Waters is to me. 

I’ve tried damn hard to make sure our relationship stays that way. I’m the shoulder she leans on, the last one to talk to her before she goes to sleep at night… And after six years, she means more to me than my own family.

The moment I met her, I wanted her. But she belonged to someone else, so I pushed the need down. I didn’t take what I wanted. I’m not that guy. Her happiness meant more.  

Until now. Until she asks me a question that shatters our unspoken boundaries. Have you ever thought about having sex with me? Six years of keeping her at arm’s length, and I can feel myself starting to give in and lose control with her.

I can’t let it happen. There are reasons I didn’t get close. She hasn’t let go of her ex-boyfriend, not really. And she has no idea about the lies I’ve told her.

What if she finds out about me? What if she finds out who I really am?

And what will she do when I leave?


*****SPOILERS AHEAD*****


Jay and Mia have been strictly friends for six years. Jay was Mia’s boyfriend’s roommate/best friend. She thought he was hot, but it meant nothing to her because she was in love with Matt (bf). (She compares finding Jay attractive while in a relationship to seeing a nice car, she appreciated it, but it’s just a passing car.) Matt was a douche. He cheated on Mia and Jay had to choose a side (like most friends have too. Sad, but true). He chose Mia (thank goodness) but only as a friend. They both felt something for each other, but alas, Jay thinks Mia isn’t over Matt (six years later?! Jay, please). What sets the book in motion is when Mia asks Jay a simple, yet very complicated question. 

Have you ever thought about having sex with me? 

It took me forever to finish this book. As previously stated, if I get into a book, it’s read in a couple hours, tops. This took me four or five days on and off to read. I’m super strict about DNF. I always try to finish books because I hope something will develop and change my mind.
I didn’t like this book as much as I felt like I should have. It had all the perfect components to it, but it didn’t deliver. For starters, I didn’t like either of the main characters from the get-go. Mia is stupid and Jay is a total jerk. These were adults. One with a masters and one with a doctorate, yet they acted like they were in high school. It was annoying. What’s even worse was they would acknowledge that they were acting childish/immature/petty but since they admitted it, it was okay. It seemed like the author wanted the reader to know she didn’t want them coming off as immature (didn’t work #sorrynotsorry). 
Another thing that ground my gears was character development. There was none. It was nonexistent. I felt like if you tore the book in half, the beginning would seem like a completely different book than the end. The actions of Jay seemed so off the wall at the end that I was trying to figure out how/when his character became this super sweet guy. It was so sudden (it could’ve had something to do with him feeling like the world wasn’t on his shoulders anymore??). Mia was still immature though. One second she was trying to piss Jay off, then she was trying to take his pants off.

I skimmed a lot. It was boring. Too many unnecessary details. Pages of text that, if removed, would not take away from the book at all.

I really liked the storyline, but I just wish it was written better. I won’t be reading the next book in the series. It’s about Paige, Mia’s older sister, and her ex-husband (separated, not divorced). It has what I would consider cheating and adults acting like children, so no. Sorry Wilson, I’m sure you have plenty of fans and it saddens me to say I’m not one of them. Keep writing though. Never give up!

Book Review: The Black Sheep by Patricia Ryan

Review
The Black Sheep (North Moon Bay Book 1) by Patricia Ryan

Hello all. I hope everyone has had a pleasant week. I’ve felt like death, but it’s no big deal. I was PMS-ing last week and started my period this week, so I’ve cried, had cravings (specifically chimichangas and caramel this month), and felt like the world was ending. I was lying on the couch reading when Loki (one of our many babies) looked at me. Loki’s a finicky cat. He hates anyone who isn’t Chris or me. He’s one of those a-holes who only wants to be pet when he feels like it. I’m used to it, so imagine my surprise when I call for him and he stares at me for a few solid seconds before walking away and jumping on the window sill (hint: I wasn’t surprised).
I burst out crying.
I was home alone (Chris took Willy (my baby brother) to the barber). I called him crying and asking him to come home because I missed him and Loki didn’t love me. He legitimately thought something else was wrong, but I insisted that’s why I was crying.
On the bright side, all this week I got to lay my head on Chris’s lap and read books without moving. Always look at the silver lining in life people. Don’t focus on what you don’t have, appreciate what you do! Unless you’re on your period and you don’t have chocolate. You get that damn chocolate.

Anywho, this was my first book by Ryan and it’s very easy for me to say that I was pleasantly surprised. I love finding new authors whose writing I like. But what I love more than that is finding a new author that has a series.

  
The Black Sheep (North Moon Bay Book 1) by [Ryan, Patricia, Ryan, P.B.]


"Catch me and you can have me."

He studied her eyes. "'Have me' meaning..."

"Have me for the night."

"For the purpose of..."

"For any purpose you want, although I've got a pretty good idea what that purpose will be. Even virgins aren't that dense."

Formerly titled Hale's Point

While house-sitting at a waterfront estate, sweet, straight-laced Harley is stunned by the arrival of her employer's supposedly dead son, an Alaskan bush pilot with a bad boy rep who's been wounded in an airplane crash. Coming home after years of estrangement--and a stint in prison--to make amends with the old man is difficult for Tucker, but not half as difficult as keeping his distance from the super-sexy but virginal Harley while they share the house, awaiting his father's return.

Having given up on the idea that he'll ever fully heal from his ravaged leg, Tucker balks when Harley urges him to swim as physical therapy--until she adds a unique incentive: "Catch me and you can have me." Her certainty that he'll never be able to swim that fast evaporates when he embarks on a rigorous training regimen, determined to claim her as his prize. But when she unearths the dark secret in his past, will she still be willing to pay up when the time comes?


*****SPOILERS AHEAD*****

I’m a big fan of younger girl/older guy. I especially love when the guy feels like he’s holding the younger girl back from life or whatever (which wasn’t the case in this book, but still).
In The Black Sheep, our h (Harley) is a college student who had a rough upbringing. Her parents were addicts, one did the drugs while the other sold them. She grew up with uncertainty so she enjoys control. Anything out of the ordinary is a big nope for her. She’s watching the house of a man (R.H.) who is in his seventies while he is traveling around on his boat. Our H (Tucker) is the son of said man. He hasn’t seen his father is many years (I want to say twenty-one years, but don’t quote me on that). He’s been through some stuff, such as his mom offing herself when he was a boy, prison for a crime he didn’t commit, and a plane crash that really messed his leg up. They meet in a very unusual way. Tucker is breaking into his old man’s house because he knew he wouldn’t be home for the summer. He wasn’t counting on someone watching the place. It’s adorable, I loved it!

I love the way Ryan writes. It flows well and her characters have dimension. I’m one of those readers who just want to read about the characters and their interactions. I love details, don’t get me wrong, but when I spend twelve pages reading about what the h is wearing to dinner I want to kms. I didn’t have to worry about that with this book. With only a handful of secondary characters, it’s a real romance. You get to read about Tucker and Harley. It’s great.

Speaking of secondary characters, I hated Tucker’s best friend. His name is escaping me right now, but he’s a doctor whose marriage is in trouble. Why you may ask? Oh. Right. He hooked up with a nurse in a broom closet at the hospital he works at. He proceeds to try to hook up with Harley (who’s so naïve, she thinks he’s just being nice) all while claiming he loves his wife more than life.
Yeah.
No.
But he was a secondary character, Tucker didn’t condone his behavior. He even helps them get back together (even though doctor guy doesn’t deserve his wife).  

There was only one situation in the book that had me rolling my eyes. R.H.’s neighbors have a college-aged son who’s in love with one of the staff in their home. There’s this whole thing where staff-girl knows college-guy wants her, but she likes attention so she flirts with other guys. Our boy Tucker tells Harley that if someone shows college-guy some actual attention, then staff-girl will realize what’s right in front of her yada yada. So Harley goes over to him and makes out with him in front of her. I mean, Tuck and Har didn’t necessarily have labels, but really? They knew they were meant to be together. I shrugged it off though because she was “cheating” per say (I think that if your body part comes in contact with someone else who is not your love, it’s cheating. I have issues with cheating). Tucker was the one who suggested it and he was bemused when she did it. And spoiler: it worked! Staff-girl is suddenly in love with college-guy. I knew Harley wasn’t trying to make Tucker jealous (I mean, I’m sure it was in the back of her head but whatev).

Overall, it was a cute book. Harley and Tucker were so sweet, I have cavities. It’s one I read in one sitting, so a quick read (if you read a book in an hour like me). If I come across Ryan again, I’d read another one of her books.

Book Review: ReCAP/Okay by Danielle Pearl

Review:
ReCAP by Danielle Pearl/Okay by Danielle Pearl


This is more of a two-in-one review. Okay is the sequel to my last review. In between the two books is book 1.5, which is cleverly titled ReCAP. It's a play on words, you see. Not only is it a recap of book one from Sam's POV, Sam's last name is also Caplan. Also also, he was the captain of the football team and everyone calls him Cap. 

My point is ReCAP is probably the most clever title I've ever seen. 
I probably should've review ReCAP with Normal but I didn't, so get over it. 
YA KNOW WHAT I'M SAYIN'?
Anyway... 


Image result for recap danielle pearl

You already heard the story. The one of how Rory and I fell in love, supposedly, even if she couldn't handle it in the end. You know how it all went.

Or you think you do.

You only know her side. But I have my own point of view, and even Rory couldn't know my thoughts in those few months it took for her to go from being a stranger to my whole entire world.

Every moment is permanently ingrained in my memory. In my goddamned soul. From the moment I stumbled upon the girl panicking outside of calculus - the one with the tight little body, the angelic face, and the fierce attitude - to the night she abandoned me in Miami. It was the sum of those moments that changed me irrevocably.

Our story isn't over. I won't let it be. But this, this is what happened so far, the way I saw it.

I'm Cap. Or Sam, to Rory. And this is my story.

*****SPOILERS AHEAD*****

I'm a creature of habit. Every morning, I kiss Chris, feed my cats, and force myself to get in my car and drive to school instead of staying home and reading books. I love dual POV books, so I was slightly disappointed when I read Normal and the entirety of the book was Rory's POV. Sometimes the mystery of not getting the male POV is awesome, but sometimes I really need to know what the men are thinking... 
So, Danielle Pearl obviously only published ReCAP because she knew I needed Sam's POV in my life. 
It wasn't as much of a story like Normal. It was literally just a rehash of most of the scenes with Sam and Rory (which, conveniently, is all I wanted to read about). It was nice because, hello, Sam's POV. Eventually, it dragged on a bit too much. I read Normal, ReCAP, and Okay back-to-back all within the same day or two (since they were all published already), so it felt repetitive. I'm sure if I wouldn't have felt the same way if I had to wait for them to be published like other readers. I would've preferred to have Sam's POV in Normal but I'm not complaining. 
I loved reading from Sam's eyes. He's a special kind of high school boy, you know? While things like sex, football, and drinking are important to him, so is this new girl he met by accident. I loved that Sam was sideswiped by Rory. Some of my favorite books are the ones where the guy totally doesn't believe in love and love is like "excuse you" and throws his words back in his face. 
Sam is on a different level of awareness too. You can an in-depth look at how he's so affected by his past (because, you know, Rory's not the only one with issues). He fears his anger. He fears himself. ReCAP was a great 1.5 book. 

Rating?
Three out of five stars.

*I'm only rating in three stars, not because I hated it, but as I previously said, it would've been awesome if it was weaved into Normal as opposed to being a separate novella. It had nothing to do with the writing at all, which was perfect.*

And now I present to thee the actual book I said I was reviewing in the title. 

Image result for okay danielle pearl

This is an alternate cover edition for ASIN: B00SSMCZX2.


After the horrors she’s survived over the past year, Rory never expected to find the one thing she certainly wasn’t looking for – love. But after the painful realization that her past has left her a dangerous liability to the person she cares for the most, she finally understands that for her and Sam, love means letting go. 

Can two people hopelessly in love with one another ever revert back into just friends? Neither Rory nor Sam know for sure. But the one thing they do know – it’s the only choice they have.

As Rory recovers from a devastating assault, Sam will do anything to make sure it never happens again. But how far will he go to keep her safe? Their choices will change everything, and they will either bring them back together or destroy them irrevocably. 

OKAY is the follow-up to NORMAL and Book 2 of the Something More series. It is not meant to be read as a standalone novel.

*****SPOILERS AHEAD*****

I get all emotional when I finish up a couple's story. I just want to read about them 24/7. What did they eat for breakfast? Did their car break down in the middle of rush hour? Did Rory even brush her hair this morning? 

Off track again... sorry.


Okay picks up right where Normal left off which is nice for people like me who don't have a life and read the sequel right after. Following the aftermath of Robin finding Rory and attacking her, we see our two babies broken-hearted after Rory thinks she can't handle being with Sam. In her defense, she thinks she's not good enough (which we all know she totally is) and Sam will suffer the same fate as Cameron if he sticks around.


This book is beautiful because it shows how much Sam and Rory love each other. I love that no matter what, they are friends first. Sam always wants to just be there for Rory. At first, you want to smack them because they start to drift away from each other (Sam thinks she needs space. Guys, ugh). 


The back and forth did get boring after awhile, but all I really wanted was a HEA for them and it's exactly what I got, so who am I to complain? 


Rating? 

Four out a five stars.

Book Review: Normal by Danielle Pearl

Review: Normal by Danielle Pearl 

I LOVE BOOKS, OKAY? 





I will always find something in a book to like. It could be horribly written. It could be the worse plot on the planet. Nevertheless, I will find things to like because I'm a positive person, okay? Only something drastic would cause me to label a book DNF (do not finish). 



So that's why when I come across books like Normal, my faith in humanity gets restored.

I LOVE when books have an actual plot. So many books nowadays are based on nothin' but makin' some lovin' that authors seem to forget to write a real plot (Thanks 50 shades, you jerk). 






*****SPOILERS AHEAD*****



Image result for normal something more



It's the kind of situation most people would dread. Starting at a new high school, in the middle of my senior year, in a new town, in a new state. I know no one. No one knows me. That's what I'm counting on.



A year ago, Aurora "Rory" Pine was just a normal teenage girl - just as sweet and naive as the fairy tale princess she was named after.

But this isn't a year ago.

Rory is broken, and now suffering from a debilitating anxiety disorder, wrought with precarious triggers, she moves across the country to escape the source of her troubles. Her plan is anonymity, but that's easier said than achieved for the new girl having a panic episode outside of calculus. The worst part? There's a witness - and a gorgeous one at that.

Sam is a walking trigger for Rory. Incredibly handsome, built like the star athlete he obviously is, and undoubtedly popular, Sam outwardly represents everything Rory despises about high school. But as the fates keep throwing them together, a connection sparks that neither ever expected, and certainly couldn't ignore.

But Sam has issues too, and Rory's past won't just stay in the damned past. When friendship evolves into something deeper, can a girl utterly destroyed by the worst kind of betrayal and a boy battling demons of his own ever have a normal relationship? Is that even what they want? Find out in NORMAL, a gritty story of trust and abuse, heartbreak and salvation, and if they're lucky - love. This is not a flowery romance - not for the faint of heart.


*****SPOILERS AHEAD*****

Anyone who knows me knows that I hate books with no HEA. There's no rainbows and butterflies at the end of Normal, but that's okay (Okay, coincidentally being the name of the sequel) because there's a sequel (more on that later). 

So I read the book, I survived the heart-breaking ending and it was so worth it. 

I found Danielle Pearl by accident, as I do with most authors. She's fantastic. Her characters are relatable. The only thing that sucks is that every character has major issues/pasts that have destroyed them. I'm not complaining, of course, because that's where the story comes from, my friend! 

Sam and Rory... my my my. They are the cutest couple. Whether they are "just friends", lovers, mad at each other, anything. Everything they do is perfect, they are perfect. Except they're not. Rory has a past, a horrible dreadful past. She was the tomboy, the one with all the guy friends. Girls were so uncool and she spent her time playing tackle football with all the dudes. Sam has deeply rooted anger problems. He fears what his own hands are capable of. 

She loved her life, it was great. She loved being a tomboy... until she didn't anymore. Rory got to the point where she wanted to wear skirts and have a boyfriend. Her bestest friend in the world, Cameron, objected, of course (most BFF's that are in love with their BFF do). Suddenly, Rory had twenty girlfriends and had sleepovers and wore makeup. She started dating the town's football star, Robin. 

Robin is an ass. He's a jerk. He deserves to be tossed in the fiery depths of hell. He ruined Rory. The once positive, strong, independent young woman was now the pawn of an evil man. He tore her down until she was nothing. He made her feel like she didn't have a choice. He raped her, beat her, made her a shell of the person she once was. 

She knew she had to get away and she finally did but at a price. She lost her best friend, Cameron, in the process. All her girlfriends turned against her. Her own father didn't believe her. 

That's where Sam comes in. Rory's mom, like any decent parent, divorced the dad and moved her daughter out of Florida and to New York. Rory, damaged from her past, has a panic attack on her very first day at the new school. Sam witnesses it and helps her through it. Alas, something beautiful has been born. 

Rory is very upfront with Sam from the very beginning. It's awesome to see that she means what she says. She isn't that character that's like "I-don't-want-you-but-I-actually-do-let-me-mess-with-your-head-kinda-gal". She doesn't want to be his friend. She's won't sleep with him. She doesn't want to be acknowledged or touched. Sam understands, but he wants to be her friend. They decide they can be friends but if Sam is ever out-of-bounds, all she has to do is say calculus and he'll back off. 

The entire story is the back and forth between these two. I don't want to give a play-by-play of the entire book, but it's amazing. You get to witness Rory heal from her past. It doesn't happen all at once, it's gradual. She thinks it's all because of Sam, but Sam knows she's the strong one (he tells her so many times).  

Normal is just one of those books that you could read and reread over and over again. It has such an intricate, detailed plot. 

Rating?
Five out of five beautiful stars.
XOXO

Book Review: Worth Fighting For by Kirsty Moseley

Review: Worth Fighting For by Kirsty Moseley
(side note: Am I the only one who sings "A Girl Worth Fighting For" from Mulan every time I think of this book?? I've a girl back home who's unlike any other. Yet the only girl who'd love him is his mother)

Holy guacamole, holy guacamole.
I read the first book, Fighting to be Free, sometime in 2011 or 2012, when it was published on Wattpad. It was so amazing and I cried at the ending.
I believe Moseley was going to originally post the sequel on Wattpad, but then she started publishing.
I have been waiting four or five years for this book.
FOUR OR FIVE YEARS.

*****SPOILERS AHEAD*****



I prefer the first book with Jamie on the cover, but beggars can’t be choosers.


Sometimes in life you have to walk away…

Leaving Jamie Cole was the hardest thing Ellie Pearce ever had to do. Somehow, she moved on. She made a new life in a new city with a new man. So when a family tragedy calls Ellie back home, she believes all her old feelings for Jamie - the hunger, the heat, the heartbreak - are safely behind her. But the second she lays eyes on him, the intensity of their connection is as strong as ever.

Sometimes you stay and fight…

Jamie knows pain. He's felt it fighting in the streets, and he felt it fighting to survive in prison. Yet nothing he's experienced has been as painful as the day Ellie left - until the moment she came back. This time Jamie is determined to hold on to Ellie forever. But as much as she still loves him, she can't ignore the dark world he's now a part of. Jamie has enemies. Dangerous ones. And after seeing Jamie with Ellie, they know exactly how to take him out…

*****SPOILERS AHEAD*****

It’s true what they say about having high expectations: you will always be let down.

I can’t believe how disappointed I was with this book. After the long years of waiting, I was beyond excited. I went to class today, took a quiz, went home, and read the book until I was finished.
I should note that I still absolutely adore Jamie Cole. Moseley wrote him perfectly in both Fighting to be Free and Worth Fighting For.
Ellie Pearce was okay. I liked her character more in the first book.
Where should I start with this book?
For starters, the death of Ellie’s dad hurt. He was an amazing character and he loved Ellie and Jamie more than life. I know his death was purposeful for the plot, but it really just sucked.
I liked Toby, Ellie’s fiancé, he was a great character, but her being engaged was a waste of time. In my opinion, the story would’ve been exactly the same with or without it.
I feel like Moseley included the fiancé to show that Ellie matured or maybe to make it seem like she was over Jamie.
Neither were true.
She obviously still loved Jamie and the way she treated Toby/the way she acted a majority of the time just showed her character needed some work.
Ellie and Toby were still together about 75% of the way through the book. Then, when they did break their engagement off, it was like his character and her life in England never even existed. It was ignorant. She immediately jumps on Jamie liked they weren’t apart for three years.
She cheated on Toby. Yes, it was a kiss. Some people say kisses don’t count, but I’m old fashion and it absolutely counts to me.
I hate that she didn’t tell Toby too, she could at least give him that much.
I also despise the fact that Jamie and Toby didn’t meet one. single. time.
SERIOUSLY?
Moseley: if you’re going to make Ellie have a fiancé, you could at least let the two guys meet.
It seemed like Toby had no idea Jamie even existed. They were in a room together like once, I think, during Michael’s funeral.
I can’t fathom why the first half of the book practically didn’t have anything to do with them as a couple. Like yes, I understand it is a New Adult/Romance novel, it doesn’t revolve around them kissing and the reader needs to know what the main characters have been up to. But it just went on and on about the accident and boosts and the reader only gets a glimpse of Jamie and Ellie actually being in the same room every few chapters. 
I would be reading and get so bored that I sat my kindle down and stared at the wall because it was more interesting.
Towards the end of the book, when they were finally together again, it felt rushed. They were back together. BAM. Slept together. BAM. In a car accident and abducted by Jamie’s enemies. BAM. Ellie kills the guy responsible for her dad’s death. BAM. They move out of the town. BAM.
Like. Seriously.
Ellie killing Ed (who was apart of Jamie’s crew) seemed like it was in character. He was about to kill Jamie, he killed her dad. There was a gun and she did what she had to do.
It was the aftermath of the murder that bothered me.
They couldn’t go to the police, I’m not an idiot. But Jamie was just like “we can never talk about this ever.” And Ellie’s like “okay.”
Sure, she ended up having nightmares but it all just didn’t flow right.
If I’m being completely honest (which I am in my reviews, OBVIOUSLY), the only good thing about this book for me was the fact that Jamie and Ellie were reunited and the only reason I cared about that was because it made Jamie happy.
I just… I’m sitting here with Chris as I write this, complaining, and close to tears because of this book.
It’s sad really.
I would recommend Moseley to anyone who loves to read and even people who don’t like to read. I feel like she’s an author that would make someone like to read! I know the sequels are never better than the original, but I had still had high hopes. Really.
The fact that this review is so negative really hurts me as a longtime fan.

Rating?
It kills me to type this, but it would be a lie if I didn’t rate it this way.
And unlike Ellie, I’m all about honesty.
Two and a half out of five stars.
