NEW RECOMMENDATION & REVIEW: Priceless by Linda Kage (Read my Review)
SQUEE!!!! I just finished reading this newly released book and loved it! It was a beautiful, heartfelt friends-to-lovers romance!! I was really drawn to this book because of how different their situation was. He was this amazing SWOONY, sweet, sexy, charming, loyal guy (he’s heart-melting!!!!!) who came from a really bad home but luckily had amazing supportive family, and she was this incredible smart, witty, fun, sarcastic girl who also had cerebral palsy. I loved how real and honest their romance felt — they LOVED each other SO much and you always knew that without a doubt. But they also faced a lot of hurdles and it was wonderful to see them become such a strong couple and get through them together!! Lots of feels, swoon, and sweetness… a new 2016 Favorite!! (can standalone)

Priceless by Linda Kage — New Release!!

Now it’s all about to hit the fan, because how the hell do you resist the one person forbidden to you when she says please?”

 

WALK by Cora Brent — New Release!!

1513… The number of single lines you carefully scratched on a piece of notebook paper at each sunrise. The number of days you passed in a locked cage, surrounded by fierce men who did things even worse than what you did.

1… The number of moments it took for a tragedy to unfold and change lives, end lives, destroy lives. The number that represents isolation, a loneliness worse than any prison sentence. The number of girls who show up in your life and try to crack through the iron shield you’ve built around your heart these past four years.

One girl and her name is Evie. Beautiful. Stubborn. Passionate. You know that if you had any honor you wouldn’t take her. But honor is something you lost a long time ago.
