Here’s a quick recap list of the book that I reviewed in July 2014!! I found so many new favorites so be sure to check them all out! Also, if you missed any review from last month, check out the June review recap too. Happy reading!! 😀
Don’t Let Go by Sharla Lovelace (My review)
This is my latest TOP recommendation!!! If you love books with intensely strong emotions, that make you feel every word of the story with all your heart, make you go through every emotion from laughing out loud to full-on crying, and that have a gorgeous love at the heart of it all, then try this!! Also, if you’re a fan of The Sweet Gum Tree, you will LOVE this. The hero + heroine were childhood friends and later young lovers torn apart by a tragedy. Then, he suddenly comes home 26 years (!!!) later and the secrets behind why they were torn apart come out… 5++ STARS!!
Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover (My review)
WOW WOW WOW!!!! This was absolute, stunning perfection in every way. It was SO unique, and so intensely emotional that it just blew me away!! I almost guarantee that you will cry (seriously, my heart broke for Miles!!!) but I promise you it’s worth every tear because the way that it all comes together is just gorgeous!!!! Oh and also quite hot and sexy! I loved every word. 6 STARS!!
“If I were capable of loving someone… it would be you.”
Come Back To Me by Mila Gray (My Review)
I absolutely loved this book!!! It was SO much more than I expected. Deeply emotional, sexy, funny, romantic…. and it had that special heart-pounding intensity to it. Definitely a new top fav!!! 🙂 — It’s a forbidden romance about a Marine who’s home on leave and drawn to the one girl he can’t have… his best friend’s sister. But he’s only home for 4 weeks before he’s sent out again for another 9 months so every second they have together is stolen and precious…
Puddle Jumping by Amber L. Johnson (My Review)
This was a beautifully written mature Young Aduly standalone romance about two childhood friends who are reunited in high school and fall in love. The hero has Asperger’s and the heroine loves him unconditionally. This is their love story. It’s a shorter book and I read it in one sitting and did not want to put it down even for a minute!
The Promise (The ‘Burg #5) by Kristen Ashley (My Review)
I absolutely loved this. Frankie & Benny’s story really delivered. If you’re new to The ‘Burg series, each book in it is a gorgeous, heart-felt second-chance romance about a different couple. But the stories are interconnected so they should really be read in order. I love them all!!!! #1 For You (My review), #2 At Peace (My review), #3 Golden Trail (My review), #4 Games Of The Heart (My review), #5 The Promise (My review).
Dusty (Innocents #1) by Mary Elizabeth & Sarah Elizabeth (My review)
What a crazy ride!! This was a complete “rule-breaker” book for me in nearly every way and yet I found myself addicted. This is a story of first love. A desperate, all-consuming love kept secret by necessity, and complicated by unhealthy addictions and heart-breaking betrayals. It’s not your typical romance by any stretch. ➜ “She’s a hopeless romantic. He’s just hopeless… She loves him. He loves her crazy. This is what happens when a love made of secrets is kept with rules instead of promises.”
Thrive (Addicted Series) by K&B Ritchie (My review)
This is the latest novel in the amazing Addicted series, one of my all-time favorite on-going series. The series centers around 3 couples with each book being told from one of their perspectives. This one is focused on Lily & Lo (a sex addict & alcoholic) and it is absolutely fantastic!! I loved it! Please note: This is NOT a standalone.
Must be read in order: Addicted To You (review), Ricochet (review), Addicted For Now (review), Kiss The Sky (review), Hothouse Flower (review), Thrive (review).
Wife Number Seven by Melissa Brown (My review)
This was a unique, captivating standalone about a woman who was the seventh wife in a polygamist family and who fell in love with an outsider. A man who made her want more out of life and the freedom to choose who to love. — It was totally different than anything else I’ve ever read!!
“I had my secrets. A voice inside me told me I didn’t belong here, that there was another life waiting for me.”
Me Before You by Jojo Moyes (My review)
** SOBS ** What an incredible story!! It was powerful, heart-breaking, and bittersweet but also oddly heartwarming. Absolutely unforgettable for sure. I think it’s impossible to come away from this without an overwhelming sense of gratitude for all the blessings in your life. I’m SO glad I finally worked up the courage to read it! *sniff* ➜ “I had a hundred and seventeen days in which to convince Will Traynor that he had a reason to live.”
