Tempting the Player REVIEW

Tempting the Player (Gamble Brothers, #2)By Jennifer L. Armentrout
pages: 200
Publisher: Entangled

He's a player on and off the field...

Chad Gamble, all-star pitcher for the Nationals, is one of the best players on—and off—the field. And right now, the notorious bad boy wants Bridget Rodgers. But with her lush curves and snappy comebacks, the feisty redhead is the kind of woman a man wants to settle down with…and that’s the last thing Chad needs.

When the paparazzi catch them in a compromising position, Chad’s manager issues an ultimatum: clean up his act or kiss his multi-million dollar contract goodbye. To save his career, his meddling publicist says he'll have to convince everyone Bridget isn’t just his flavor of the week, but his girlfriend.

Being blackmailed into a fake relationship with Chad Gamble isn’t easy, especially when the sizzling physical attraction between them is undeniable. With a month to go on their arranged pretense, it's going to take every ounce of willpower they have not to fall into bed together...or in love.
AAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW WHAT A CUTE LITTLE BOOK!

Seriously. Super mega cute.

I can't help but falling in love with Chad. He is one hawt player.
Everything about this book screams romance and fun.

I love it when Armentrout writes from a guys POW, because their minds are just more dirty and more entertaining to be in.

Not even ashamed to admit that I like it. Nope.

I didn't to like it as much as I did, and that ending was just so freaking beatiful. a solid 4 star indeed.

Unchained (Nephilim Rising #1) REVIEW

Unchained (Nephilim Rising, #1)By Jennifer L. Armentrout
Pages: 400
Publisher: Entangled

Between the pissed off creatures that want demon-hunter Lily Marks dead and the fallen angel who just...wants her, Lily is about ready to trade in forever for a comfy job in a cubicle farm.

The fact that she and Julian are civil to one another is enough to have her thrown out of the Sanctuary, but she can't shake her not-so-angelic stalker or how he brings her dangerously close to ecstasy.

Her forbidden relationship with Julian provides the perfect fuel for suspicion when a traitor is discovered to be working within the Sanctuary. Lily quickly finds herself hunted by well, everyone.

Her only hope is to discover the real traitor before she loses everything--and she'll need Julian's help. That is, if Julian is really there to help her...and not destroy her.

Yeah, being a Nephilim isn't everything it's cracked up to be.

yay angels!
What a confusing book. 
Without given any details about he relationship with Julian, it all just seemed a bit tacky, and the way she kind of just changed her mind about how she saw things with the angels after being raised with strict rules was quite unbelivable. You don't just change our mind about something you've lived by your life without any second thoughts.

Sydney Sage from Bloodlines is a great example of that. She was changed in a realistic way. 

SO the story. 

Very nice, entertaning and sassy, just like all of her books. I love the easy way her books are written in, even though it's paranormal fantasy she still finds a way to make it a fun summer-read book. 

Something alllllll her characters have in common though in all of her books is that they all use the same slang words. 

No.


Give us something unique with each character, it's like writing about the same character with a different name in a different setting. It just won't hold.

Frigid (Frigid #1) REVIEW

Frigid (Frigid, #1)By: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Pages: 252
Publisher: Hill Contemporary 

For twenty-one-year-old Sydney, being in love with Kyler isn't anything new. They'd been best friends ever since he pushed her down on the playground and she made him eat a mud pie. Somewhere over the years, she fell for him and fell hard. The big problem with that? Kyler puts the 'man' in man-whore. He's never stayed with a girl longer than a few nights, and with it being their last year in college, Syd doesn't want to risk their friendship by declaring her love. 

Kyler has always put Syd on a pedestal that was too high for him to reach. To him, she's perfect and she's everything. But the feelings he has for her, he's always hidden away or focused on any other female. After all, Kyler will always be the poor boy from the wrong side of tracks, and Syd will always be the one girl he can never have. 

But when they're stranded together at a posh ski resort due to a massive Nor'easter, there's nothing stopping their red-hot feelings for each other from coming to the surface. Can their friendship survive the attraction? Better yet, can they survive at all? Because as the snow falls, someone is stalking them, and this ski trip may be a life-changer in more ways than one.



I can't believe I'm rating a JLA book 1 stars. 
She is one of my fav authors.
But I am.

You will nothing positive in this review, just so you know.

They have been friends since they were both little kids. And now they are twenty something. And they are both in love with one another. 
That right there is messed up because


1.  They don't act like that. Especially Sydney, she is always so weird around him, her jealousy is so obvious it's almost sad. 

2.  ONE DOES NOT HANG OUT WITH THEIR CRUSH FOR TWENTY YEARS WITHOUT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
rage 

Sydney could have been Bella Swan's sister, she cried all the freaking time, she is so insecure and it's depressing to read about. And she is doesn't value herself at all!


Kyler is a womanizer okay. He's been with half the woman population according to Syd, and she want's what the other girls have been getting from him 
Oh, okay. he's been with every single girl you know, and you still want him? He's never showed you interest in that way but you still want him? And better yet, you want to be another one of his girls? 
Oh no, I see nothing wrong in that. 
Not at all. 


And the writing! It's duo POV's and since WHEN do people use the same weird words when they think? Like Jesus H. Christ and stuff like that. They are two individuals. 
This book just made me angry, and the plot twist was so predictable it almost made me laugh. Almost.

The Edge of Never (The Edge of Never #1)





"I also wonder, more than I want to admit, why so many of his thoughts already make me feel like I’m staring into a mirror when I look at him." -The Edge of Never ♥

The Edge of Never (The Edge of Never, #1)By J.A. RedmerskiPages: 426Publisher: Creatspace
Twenty-year-old Camryn Bennett had always been one to think out-of-the-box, who knew she wanted something more in life than following the same repetitive patterns and growing old with the same repetitive life story. And she thought that her life was going in the right direction until everything fell apart.
Determined not to dwell on the negative and push forward, Camryn is set to move in with her best friend and plans to start a new job. But after an unexpected night at the hottest club in downtown North Carolina, she makes the ultimate decision to leave the only life she’s ever known, far behind.With a purse, a cell phone and a small bag with a few necessities, Camryn, with absolutely no direction or purpose boards a Greyhound bus alone and sets out to find herself. What she finds is a guy named Andrew Parrish, someone not so very different from her and who harbors his own dark secrets. But Camryn swore never to let down her walls again. And she vowed never to fall in love.But with Andrew, Camryn finds herself doing a lot of things she never thought she’d do. He shows her what it’s really like to live out-of-the-box and to give in to her deepest, darkest desires. On their sporadic road-trip he becomes the center of her exciting and daring new life, pulling love and lust and emotion out of her in ways she never imagined possible. But will Andrew’s dark secret push them inseparably together, or tear them completely apart?
What a ride!
How to read this book:
Make yourself some tea
Bake some cookies to have with the tea
Find a cozy corner with lot's of pillows and blankets
Now sit down and enjoy this roadtrip!
I thought this book was a bit different from other NA books, this book had a lot of other stuff going on a part from the romance, We have tragedies, death, love stories being shared and a lot of arguing about all kind of random stuff people argue about!

I fell in love with them both quickly. This book had some sweet moment's some very intense moment's and some moment's that left you like 
Overall this was a great book that makes me long for summer 2014 more than I should because it's so for away!
I'm quite jealous of Camryn, I wan't to go on  roadtrip with  hot, nice, funny, sweet guy like Andrew too...
The only negative thing I could think about to say about this book is the language, the language wasn't so subtlety.
that's why I'm giving this book 3/5
The second book in this series is coming out in November!
Oh, and this book is recommended for people 17+ But I'f you are younger and used to reading NA, go ahead!

Fallen Too Far (Too Far Trilogy #1) REVIEW

My Blaire
My Rush










When I say "mine" I mean head vision





She is only nineteen.

She is his new stepfather’s daughter. 

But for twenty-four year old Rush Finlay, she is the only thing that has ever been off limits. His famous father’s guilt money, his mother’s desperation to win his love, and his charm are the three reasons he has never been told no.

Blaire Wynn left her small farmhouse in Alabama, after her mother passed away, to move in with her father and his new wife in their sprawling beach house along the Florida gulf coast. Then there is her sexy stepbrother who her father leaves her with for the summer while he runs off to Paris with his wife. Rush is as spoiled as he is gorgeous. He is also getting under her skin. She knows he is anything but good for her and that he’ll never be faithful to anyone. He is jaded and has secrets Blaire knows she may never uncover but even knowing all of that…
Blaire just may have fallen too far.


what the hell?

Fallen Too Far (Too Far, #1; Rosemary Beach, #1)
By Abbi Glines
Pages 188
Publisher Abbi Gli

I have no idea how to rate this one. Like not at all. Hopefully I will know how many stars I should give this book when I'm done ranting. Let's begin.

The thing that annoyed me the most was the beginning.
A lot of YA/NA guys/men have a hard and raw personality and a soft and mushy inside, It's a cliche thing really, you can read about it everywhere, and I admit that yes, it does become quite predictable. It's like the authors don't know what other way they should write in. Anyway, the thing with Rush, the Male character in this book was that he was a real DOUCHE-BAG in the first scene!

He was this all time player and then all of a sudden he was like oh no your too good for me and I'm like what? Are you kidding me on some level like seriously? And to be honest I don't even understand why she wanted someone like him. They didn't really spend time with each other like people who likes each-other do,  so beside the fact that they were both hot, I don't know why they were attracted to another. 

B U T
The book got better, Abbi Glines irritated me occasionally but there were parts that I enjoyed, and that ending was a really unexpected, It was a brave ending indeed, a cliffhanger of a sort that makes you wan't to read the second one right away, but I really don't know... This is the third book I've ever read written by Abbi Glines, Existence and the Vincent Boys are the two books I've read by her before but the question Im asking myself is, Should I bother reading the second one in this trilogy?

Best Seller of the Month: August

 


Something new, something old. A new Movie, an old book often results in a new interest in the old.

Did that even makes sense?

Anyway,  one of the best Sellers of the month is...

The Book ThiefThe Book Thief By Mark Zusak
A great (but thick!) book!
it's quite slow but truly Amazing. This book was published by Knopf Books 2005.

It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still.

Liesel Meminger is a foster girl living outside of Munich, who scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement.

In superbly crafted writing that burns with intensity, award-winning author Markus Zusak, author of I Am the Messenger, has given us one of the most enduring stories of our time

I Always Think that you should read the book Before you see the Movie adaption, because sometimes a movie can really just ruin a book.

The Opportunist (Love Me With Lies #1) REVIEW

descriptiondescription
Olivia                                                                   Caleb



The Opportunist (Love Me With Lies, #1)

By Tarryn Fisher
Pages: 278

Olivia Kaspen has just discovered that her ex-boyfriend, Caleb Drake, has lost his memory. With an already lousy reputation for taking advantage of situations, Olivia must decide how far she is willing to go to get Caleb back. Wrestling to keep her true identity and their sordid past under wraps, Olivia’s greatest obstacle is Caleb’s wicked, new girlfriend; Leah Smith. It is a race to the finish as these two vipers engage in a vicious tug of war to possess a man who no longer remembers them. But, soon enough Olivia must face the consequences of her lies, and in the process discover that sometimes love falls short of redemption.

Did this book just happen?

“I think that after the first time you give your heart away, you never get it back. The rest of your life is just you pretending that you still have a heart." -Noah” 


WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW.

Me after reading this book:
description
I am speechless.
My insides turned into something mushy, my heart ache, and my existence stopped making sense. Time slowed down. Why I asked myself. Why can't I just rotten, vanish, disappear? Why am I forced to live when all I wan't to do is die?
I realized what I was feeling.
There was a name for this.
They called it a broken heart.

All because of this book.

So unpredictable and sweet, and the hardest thing to accept about this book was that it was so RAW. It was like seeing someones actual life playing in front of you, and all you can do is sit back and be amazed. And cry.

Let's set my emotions aside now, Tarryn Fisher, You did it. Tarryn Fisher Wanted to write a book that everyone would love. But she knew that that was impossible so she wen't for emotions. She wanted to make her readers FEEL. And the strongest feeling? Sadness.
 I believe this is her debut book and I, blogger for teenbookalover, mark this book as one of THE BEST debut books ever written by mankind. Screw Romeo and Juliet, and to hell with One Day by David Nicholls (both books are overrated in my opinion)YOU are a true author that STAYS TRUE to our nature, you are real, and you don't bullshit around. That much I can tell by reading your book. Cheers.

~ Read this book and freak out

Darkness Divine (four short novels in one book) REVIEW +


Darkness Divine

By P.C. Cast, Geba Showalter, Maggie Shayne, Rhyannon Byrd

Kindle Edition432 pages
Published September 1st 2010 by MIRA


In Divine Beginnings, Healer Aine must chose between treating an enigmatic enemy or letting him die, whilst The Amazon’s Curse could kill the passion that Nola and vampire warrior Zane share. 

Toying with New Orleans Voodoo, leaves Tessa haunted by a sinfully sexy man., whilstlast scion of the dragon clan Rhys is tormented by his desire for Alia as he struggles to fight the Edge of Craving.


This book contains four small novels, and since i've already written a review on the first one, Divine Beginnings which you can find HERE I won't write another review of it.

I liked these novels more or less, I felt that they could really have been turned in to something more, something more deeper. The Amazon's Curse kept talking about an Island that made me very confused, because everything that happent in this short novel was founded from everything that happen't on that Island, I felt left out, and that is very very amateur. you should NEVER make a reader feel left out like that. I give The Amazon's Curse 2 stars because I would love to know what happened on that Island.

Then we have Voodoo which I really liked while reading it, I thought It was something extra, and I wanted to know what would happen later (which I never will because there is no follow up book) but now thinking back I have to admit that everything happen't way to fast. 

Edge of Craving was a bit of a joke, the lead male character was just so funny and not in the good way funny, no I just could not hold myself from laughing at this character, the character never laugh's, never smiles, always mean and grim, etc etc, but of course the innocent girl has to fall for this stone, but hey, oh nono, the guy is not a bottle of negativity after all, he actually likes her and want her body
And the girl is not so innocent after all, very demanding. This was like a fantasy, very very very short version of Fifty Shades of Grey.

Book Releases of the Month: August +

IT'S AUGUST PEOPLE!

SO much to look forward this month but at the same time there are things happening this month that I am not looking forward too. Like school starting August 21th... But at the same time It's going to be fun seeing all friends again!

The Distance Between Us
The Distance Between Us
By Kasie West
Publisher: HarperTeen

Seventeen-year-old Caymen Meyers studies the rich like her own personal science experiment, and after years of observation she’s pretty sure they’re only good for one thing—spending money on useless stuff, like the porcelain dolls in her mother’s shop.

So when Xander Spence walks into the store to pick up a doll for his grandmother, it only takes one glance for Caymen to figure out he’s oozing rich. Despite his charming ways and that he’s one of the first people who actually gets her, she’s smart enough to know his interest won’t last. Because if there’s one thing she’s learned from her mother’s warnings, it’s that the rich have a short attention span. But Xander keeps coming around, despite her best efforts to scare him off. And much to her dismay, she's beginning to enjoy his company.

She knows her mom can’t find out—she wouldn’t approve. She’d much rather Caymen hang out with the local rocker who hasn’t been raised by money. But just when Xander’s attention and loyalty are about to convince Caymen that being rich isn’t a character flaw, she finds out that money is a much bigger part of their relationship than she’d ever realized. And that Xander’s not the only one she should’ve been worried about.



It's contemporary which mean perfect for kind of ending the summer with, I think this book can be sweet so I will probably give this book a try. If not for the story at least for that sweet cover!

Dirty Little Secret
Dirty Little Secret
By Jennifer Echols
Publisher: MTV Books
Release Date: July 16th

Bailey wasn’t always a wild child and the black sheep of her family. She used to play fiddle and tour the music circuit with her sister, Julie, who sang and played guitar. That ended when country music execs swooped in and signed Julie to a solo deal. Never mind that Julie and Bailey were a duet, or that Bailey was their songwriter. The music scouts wanted only Julie, and their parents were content to sit by and let her fulfill her dreams while Bailey’s were hushed away.

Bailey has tried to numb the pain and disappointment over what could have been. And as Julie’s debut album is set to hit the charts, her parents get fed up with Bailey’s antics and ship her off to granddad’s house in Nashville. Playing fiddle in washed-up tribute groups at the mall, Bailey meets Sam, a handsome and oh-so-persuasive guitarist with his own band. He knows Bailey’s fiddle playing is just the thing his band needs to break into the industry. But this life has broken Bailey’s heart once before. She isn’t sure she’s ready to let Sam take her there again…


There is one thing I do not like with Echols books, and that is that in every book she writes she likes to keep the readers clueless of the characters future which I find rather irritating, but other than that she is pretty decent. 


Of Beast and BeautyOf Beauty and Beast
By Stacey Jay
Publisher: Delacorte Press
Release date: July 23th

In the beginning was the darkness, and in the darkness was a girl, and in the girl was a secret...

In the domed city of Yuan, the blind Princess Isra, a Smooth Skin, is raised to be a human sacrifice whose death will ensure her city’s vitality. In the desert outside Yuan, Gem, a mutant beast, fights to save his people, the Monstrous, from starvation. Neither dreams that together, they could return balance to both their worlds.

Isra wants to help the city’s Banished people, second-class citizens despised for possessing Monstrous traits. But after she enlists the aid of her prisoner, Gem, who has been captured while trying to steal Yuan’s enchanted roses, she begins to care for him, and to question everything she has been brought up to believe.

As secrets are revealed and Isra’s sight, which vanished during her childhood, returned, Isra will have to choose between duty to her people and the beast she has come to love.

I do not know what to think of this one but It has a nice cover so, maybe yes?

Obsession REVIEW +

400th post! and what a great blogpost this will be too.
I wan't to start of by saying that this freaking book should be in a series. Now let's begin.


ObsessionBy Jennifer L. Armentrout

Kindle Edition370 pages
Published May 31st 2013 by Entangled Publishing, LLC (Covet)

He’s arrogant, domineering, and... To. Die. For.

Hunter is a ruthless killer. And the Department of Defense has him firmly in their grasp, which usually doesn’t chafe too badly because he gets to kill bad guys. Most of the time he enjoys his job. That is, until he’s saddled with something he’s never had to do before: protect a human from his mortal enemy.

Serena Cross didn’t believe her best friend when she claimed to have seen the son of a powerful senator turn into something... unnatural. Who would? But then she witnesses her friend’s murder at the hands of what can only be an alien, thrusting her into a world that will kill to protect their secret.

Hunter stirs Serena’s temper and her lust despite their differences. Soon he’s doing the unthinkable—breaking the rules he’s lived by, going against the government to keep Serena safe. But are the aliens and the government the biggest threats to Serena’s life… or is it Hunter?

A.D.D.I.C.T.E.D
that's the best word to describe after oh so 25 pages. I was addicted. 
this stand alone spin-off novel of the Lux Series was truly amazing. It all takes place in a more adult world so I would not recommend this book to anyone younger that fifteen. 
Im not gonna lie, what really captured me was the heat between these two. And the way Armentrout describes things, oh God, she makes me all warm with her scenes! She can make the ugliest warehouse seem beautiful...

My way of seeing the Arum really changed, and how I saw the Luxen too. This book really shows that there is no real such a thing as "good" and "bad".

Like I said before I really think this book should be a part in a series, but Jennifer have confirmed that we will be seeing  Hunter and Serena in Origin, the last Lux book!

5/5

Thoughtless REVIEW +

Thoughtless (Thoughtless, #1)
By S.C. Stephens

For almost two years now, Kiera's boyfriend, Denny, has been everything she's ever wanted: loving, tender and endlessly devoted to her. When they head off to a new city to start their lives together, Denny at his dream job and Kiera at a top-notch university, everything seems perfect. Then an unforeseen obligation forces the happy couple apart.

Feeling lonely, confused, and in need of comfort, Kiera turns to an unexpected source – a local rock star named Kellan Kyle. At first, he's purely a friend that she can lean on, but as her loneliness grows, so does their relationship. And then one night everything changes...and none of them will ever be the same.

I've had this book on my e reader for quite a while now. I think my subconscious knew I would hate it.

So freaking slow. I have probably read 150 pages vy now and seriously,  NOTHING special have happened. This Kellan dude is always shaking his head while laughing,  im not kidding,  every single time, and every single time Stephens have to point that out.  What is he, a nick doll?

UPDATE: Im done with the book. and No, I did not finish it. The story line was quite boring I must have read 150 pages before something SLIGHTLY abnormal happened, otherwise - nothing. The characters were deadening, and I mean all three of them, Denny, Kellan and Kiera. 
after 150 pages I got to a plot twist, but at that time I was so tired of the story and the characters, that the plot twist didn't affect me a bit. so I just closed the book. I figured nothing more interesting would happen.

I do not recommend this book to anyone.
1/5

Search Me
By Katie Ashley

Published July 2nd 2013

Search MeTwenty year old Lane Montgomery never imagined her usually boring summer in the boonies would require her to trade her toe shoes for hunting boots or her monotonous college textbooks for treasure map deciphering. Never would she have imagined after breaking her grandmother’s precious Native American statue, danger, a lost treasure of Cherokee Gold and a hostage situation would arise. Nor could she predict that the one man destined to protect her and her family was her childhood nemesis and former crush, Maddox Diaz.

Obsession REVIEW +

He’s arrogant, domineering, and... To. Die. For.

Hunter is a ruthless killer. And the Department of Defense has him firmly in their grasp, which usually doesn’t chafe too badly because he gets to kill bad guys. Most of the time he enjoys his job. That is, until he’s saddled with something he’s never had to do before: protect a human from his mortal enemy.

Serena Cross didn’t believe her best friend when she claimed to have seen the son of a powerful senator turn into something... unnatural. Who would? But then she witnesses her friend’s murder at the hands of what can only be an alien, thrusting her into a world that will kill to protect their secret.

Hunter stirs Serena’s temper and her lust despite their differences. Soon he’s doing the unthinkable—breaking the rules he’s lived by, going against the government to keep Serena safe. But are the aliens and the government the biggest threats to Serena’s life… or is it Hunter?

OMG SOMETHING HORRIBLE HAPPENT!!!!!
