Here’s a quick recap of the books I reviewed in May. It was a really great reading month with lots of books that I’ve now added to my favorites list so be sure to check them out!! Happy reading everyone!! 🙂
Beautiful Broken Promises by Kimberly Lauren (My Review)
This standalone was amazing from start to finish! If you love books with kind, loving, and fiercely protective heroes, courageous heroines, deep emotions, and stories that will surprise you in the best of ways, then this is absolutely one you should read. This wasn’t just a romance, it was about the bonds of people willing to go to the ends of the earth to help each other, save each other, and be together. The ultimate heart-warming experience! ➜ “Every day I wish I had found you sooner so I could love you longer.”
Changing Course (Wrecked & Ruined #1) by Aly Martinez (My Review)
This was a very unique standalone romance and the first one I’ve read with this plotline. This was also the book that pulled me out of a huge 5-day book hangover. The moment that I started this one, it drew me right into the story and I couldn’t put it down!!! It was heart wrenching, angsty, smoking hot, swoony, romantic, funny, emotional… and I totally fell for the hero, Brett. What an amazing guy!! I just love the protective, tortured heroes… *dreamy sigh* …. They make my heart melt!!!
Stolen Course (Wrecked & Ruined #2) by Aly Martinez (My Review)
While this book can be read on it’s own, it’s closely interconnected with the first book (posted above) so I strongly recommend reading them in order because this one picks up right after that one left off even though it’s about a different couple. The hero of this couple, Caleb, is a police office and and the best friend of the hero in the first book and his life was also derailed in the same accident that changed Brett’s life so this book is about his healing and his second chance at love. I loved it!!
Carnage by Lesley Jones (My Review)
This book gave me a 5-day book hangover!! It was a passionate, gut-wrenching love story. A non-stop, messy, emotional, beautiful, devastating roller coaster ride from start to finish and honestly, I LOVED it!!!!! It made me FEEL every emotion. But please note that this is not your typical romance story. It completely shattered all my book rules and is just not the kind of book that I usually read but it’s the exception to my rules because it’s now a top fav!! But just please go into it with a very, very open mind.
Loving Mr. Daniels by Brittainy C. Cherry (My Review)
This was such a beautiful story!! It took me by surprise in the best of ways. It was so much MORE than just a forbidden student-teacher romance. It was a love story and it was a life story. All kinds of love, all kinds of life. I laughed, I cried and I totally loved it!! It’s a standalone romance and I highly recommend checking it out, especially if you were a fan of Slammed!! ➜ “It was easy to call us forbidden and harder to call us soulmates. Yet I believed we were both. Forbidden soulmates.”
The Year We Fell Down by Sarina Bowen (My Review)
This was a really sweet New Adult college romance!! It was about a heroine who expected to start college as a varsity hockey player but a serious accident had her starting school in a wheelchair instead. Across the hall, was another would-be hockey player who was “too-delicious-to-be real” with his leg broken in two places. He was way out of her league. Also, he was taken… As they both coped with disappointments no one else understood, they became friends… “until one night when things fall apart. Or fall together.”
Nowhere But Here by Renee Carlino (My Review)
This was a standalone romance with a beautiful story, beautiful writing and a beautiful message!! It’s about a reporter who goes to interview a reclusive tech genius turned winemaker in the Napa Valley, and instead finds love in the most unexpected of places…I laughed, I swooned, I wiped happy tears away, and I fell in love. This story warmed my heart and left me with the most wonderful feeling!
Push by Claire Wallis (My Review)
This book blew my mind!! It was totally brilliant! Check this out ➜ He’s calm, collected, & makes her feel safe but he has a very chilling past: his six previous girlfriends have all disappeared without a trace. <— WOAH, right?? I just had to read it and it was… Addictive. Intense. Unputdownable. Crazy. Twisted. Romantic. Sexy. Just totally unique and unlike anything else I’ve ever read. There’s a cliffy, BUT even me, the most anti-cliffhanger girl ever still loved it!!!!
