Review for The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez

Published date: June 11th, 2019

Genres: Humor, Ficton, Romance Novel, Contemporary Romance 

Kristen Petersen is perfectly fine. She has friends she'd fight to the death for and the very best dog in the world: Stuntman Mike. In fact, everything's calm in the world of Kristen, until she starts to plan her best friend's wedding and meets the best man, Josh Copeland.

Josh is funny, sexy, stands up to her sarcasm, and is always one snack ahead of her hangry. Even Stuntman Mike adores him. But he wants a big family, and Kristen knows children are probably not a part of her future.

She's sure he'd be better off with someone else, someone who can give him everything he wants, so Kristen keeps him at arm's length: in the Friend Zone. But as their attraction grows, it's harder and harder to resist falling for the man who seems to be everything she's not allowed to have . . .

My ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review

I absolutely loved this book. My bestfriend Christine told me that I needed to read The Friend Zone. She said that I would love it and she was right.

The main character in this book was just like me. I mean her health was a little different than mine but our outcome was the exact same.

I suffered and still suffer with endometriosis and I was blessed to have 1 child before I had to have a partial hysterectomy at 21 years old.

(Sorry folks...spoiler)

But I love reading and it warms my heart when you pick up a book that you can relate to.

So thank you Abby Jimenez because the struggle is real and I am glad you wrote this incredible heart warming hilarious book!

While reading this book all I could of was Mr. McDreamy and Meredith Grey from Grey's Anatomy....so naturally The Fray was playing in my head!

Review for The Wives by Tarryn Fisher

Release Date: December 30, 2019

Genres: Thriller, Suspense, Psychological Thriller

New York Times bestselling author Tarryn Fisher delivers a pulse-pounding, fast-paced suspense novel that will leave you breathless. A thriller you won’t be able to put down!

Thursday’s husband, Seth, has two other wives. She’s never met them, and she doesn’t know anything about them. She agreed to this unusual arrangement because she’s so crazy about him.

But one day, she finds something. Something that tells a very different—and horrifying—story about the man she married.

What follows is one of the most twisted, shocking thrillers you’ll ever read.

You’ll have to grab a copy to find out why.

My 5 star review:

I have been sitting on this book since the beginning of December thanks to the Book of the Month Club. It was killing me not to rip the box open and dive into this story. I wanted to hold out so The Wives could be my first read of 2020.

The Wives is an eye opening story. It is a story of a troubled young woman and to be 100% honest with you I am still not sure if she was troubled before the loss or after the loss. I will tell you that my heart broke for Thursday. I don’t think I could ever come back from the loss that she endured, I don’t think I am that strong anymore.

While reading I was sitting in my husband’s recliner thinking what in the hell was going through Tarryn’s mind while she was writing this story. How did she even come up with the plot and then the twist?! I didn’t even see the twist coming at all.

When I say I was fully investing in this read….I was fully invested in this read. I read this book in one sitting. Once I started I knew that there was no going back, no putting it down, no working, no homework, and no cooking dinner.

The crazy thing is….I started this The Wives on a Thursday and I ended The Wives on a Thursday!

While reading this book Afraid by The Neighborhood was playing over and over again in my head.

Review for Million Dollar Marriage by Katy Evans

From New York Times bestselling author Katy Evans comes a hot romance about two strangers and their race to fall in love.

If someone had bet Nell a million dollars that she would be saying “I do” to a complete stranger on national television, she’d have called them crazy, but with her crushing student loan payments sending her deep into the red, she’s out of options. This should be nothing more than a business transaction—until she sets eyes on her groom, and everything changes.

The game is on the instant Luke spots Penelope “Nell” Carpenter. He’s out for the money, yes, but getting a little dirty with Nell doesn’t sound too bad either. Everyone knows he’s not the marrying kind, so it’s a good thing it’s just for show. God knows he’s the worst guy his pretty wife should pick for real.

They have nothing in common, but if they want the grand prize, they’ll have to beat out eight other couples. Proving that total opposites attract should be easy enough…as long as they don’t fall in love in the process.


My 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 review


Katy Evans! Katy Evans! Katy Evans! Wow! Wow! Wow! This book blew me away! It was freaking awesome!

While reading this book I felt like I was watching a television show. Million Dollar Marriage was even better than I expected it to be. It was raw on the edge of your sit type of reading. I felt like I was a part of the audience and I was watching the story unfold.

There were parts of this book that had me biting my nails off! Then other parts had me yelling at Penny and Luke. Penny is a scared independent woman who doesnt want to disappoint anyone so she lives a sheltered life. She has so many degrees and she is extremely smart.

Luke is a young man who had a ruff life. He is an ex-drug addict, he has been to jail, and his parents in my opinion are to blame.

Penny is in student loan debit up to her ears. Her father kicked her to the curb only because she didn't pick the college he wanted her to. Luke is in so much debit and he is ready to lose the bar that his grandfather left for him. He is also struggling to pay for his grandmother's nursing home care.

Then you have a new show coming out and it is called Million Dollar Marriage! This television show is super intense and shady as a mother! So naturally I would love to spill all of the beans about this read but you know i can't do that.

I will tell you to go and buy this book when it comes out. I promise you will not be disappointed. I could and will totally pick up this book and read it again!

Ugh...Katy Evans I love you and you get me!!! You get me! Oh and I am in love with Luke! He can speak to me in French any day of the week! Dear sweet baby jesus...hold me!

While reading this book Believe by the Mumford & Son's was playing on repeat in my head. 

Review for Flutter by Carrie Aarons

Coming July 11th!

He can’t stand her, and best believe, the feeling is mutual.
Her life is the complete opposite of what he desires.

So, why can’t they keep their hands off each other?

Forrest Nash is a smug know-it-all. With his brains, ridiculous good looks and penchant for disobeying the laws of both the police and the dark web, Fawn Hill’s resident genius is cockier than any man

Penelope Briggs has ever encountered. It doesn’t help that their six-year age difference makes him completely ineligible in her eyes. Add in the fact that he doesn’t want marriage or babies, and that should eliminate him from the dating pool forever. But it doesn’t mean she can’t sleep with him. Once. Or twice. Or ten times. Against all logic, though, Forrest seems to be sneaking into her heart at the same time he’s sneaking into her bed. Penelope Briggs is one bossy, obnoxious woman. With three young children, a calendar full of school drop-offs and sports, and enough emotional baggage to fill an airplane, this widow is definitely not what Forrest Nash is looking for. And yet, he can’t get enough of the maddening bombshell. But as their hook-ups become a constant, so does his involvement in Penelope’s life. The things he swore he never wanted, love and kids, seem to be the only things on his mind. And when an attack from his part of the cyber world threatens her safety, he’ll have to admit his feelings for the woman he’d do anything to protect.

What started as a convenient friends-with-benefits situation is quickly growing wings. Even if both parties are trying hard to ignore the flutter.


My ⭐⭐⭐⭐ review!!!


I love the Nash brothers...but oh my word!

Forest Nash I think I love you!

I absolutely love how he had such a mad crush on Penelope in high school. Oh and the love letters...be still my beating heart.

Penelope is a very strong woman! She is a single mother of three and she is a widow. She guards her heart like a warrior, as she should.

The banter between Forest and Penelope is one for the books. Some would think that they hate each other but others....may think differently.

I could read about Forest and Penelope all day long! 

Review for The Honeymooner by Melanie Summers

From bestselling author Melanie Summers comes the wickedly funny, ridiculously romantic spinoff of her highly-acclaimed Crown Jewels Series…

Twenty-nine-year-old workaholic Libby Dewitt lives by the motto ‘if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.’ She’s finally about to start her dream life with her steady-as-a-rock fiancé, Richard Tomy. Together, they’re the perfect power couple—right down to the fact that he’s agreed to use their honeymoon to help further her career in mergers and acquisitions. But ten minutes before the wedding, her dreams dissolve via text message.

Devastated and humiliated, Libby escapes to Paradise Bay alone. She’s got two goals for her trip: to devise a plan to get Richard back and to convince resort owner Harrison Banks to sell his property to her company. Unfortunately, when she arrives, she discovers that tall, dark, and built, Harrison is not about to make anything easy for her.

Instead, he derails her plans while at the same time, bringing out a side of Libby she’s kept carefully tucked away—a carefree, adrenaline junkie. After a few days together, Harrison’s got her wondering if the life she always wanted was meant for some other girl. Suddenly, Libby must decide which version of herself she wants to be.

Will she go back to her comfortable, safe life, or risk everything to be with the only man who’s ever made her feel truly alive? 

My 5 Star review

Thank you Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

The Honeymooners was so good! The synopsis does not do it justice!

Every word in this book will either but a smile on your face, have you giggling, or it will have you wanting to hit something.

First you have a wedding that doesn't go to plan at all. A calm bride who has so much grace.

Then you have a super scared Groom...who is a complete jerk!

Then you have the Honeymoon with a super hot as heck owner.

This book will have you swooning and laughing out loud. I absolutely love how Harrison helped Libby! She needed that push to learn to live life!

Ugh I am so sad it is over! I want to learn everything there is to learn about Libby and Harrison.

While reading this book 311's Love Song was playing over and over in my head. Enjoy!

Review for After by Anna Todd

Tessa is a good girl with a sweet, reliable boyfriend back home. She’s got direction, ambition, and a mother who’s intent on keeping her that way. But she’s barely moved into her freshman dorm when she runs into Hardin.

With his tousled brown hair, cocky British accent, tattoos, and lip ring, Hardin is cute and different from what she’s used to. But he’s also rude—to the point of cruelty, even. For all his attitude, Tessa should hate Hardin. And she does—until she finds herself alone with him in his room.

Something about his dark mood grabs her, and when they kiss it ignites within her a passion she’s never known before. He’ll call her beautiful, then insist he isn't the one for her and disappear again and again. Despite the reckless way he treats her, Tessa is compelled to dig deeper and find the real Hardin beneath all his lies.

He pushes her away again and again, yet every time she pushes back, he only pulls her in deeper. Tessa already has the perfect boyfriend. So why is she trying so hard to overcome her own hurt pride and Hardin’s prejudice about nice girls like her? Unless…could this be love?

Now newly revised and expanded, Anna Todd’s After fanfiction racked up 1 billion reads online and captivated readers across the globe. Experience the Internet’s most talked-about book for yourself!

There was the time before Tessa met Hardin, and then there’s everything AFTER... Life will never be the same.

My 4 star review

I finally got to read this book. I have heard so much about it and yes even the movie is out now. I can't go and see the movie without reading the book.

I just finished this book... What the actual HELL just happened?!

I am sitting here with my both hanging wide open! Like how can someone be so hateful, vindictive, a dick, and a million other words!!!

Hardin is a complete asshole! I just wish I could jump into this book and beat his ass! The fact that he thinks he can speak to her that way blows my mind.

Tessa is a native young woman that is a freshman in college. She is naturally beautiful and very smart....but then again she isnt too bright when it comes to Hardin.

I really liked this book. These words had me on the edge of my sit and then the last chapter.... It blew me away and I have no freaking idea what just happened. It is like my entire life is a lie. Like that is how I am feeling right now.

The song that was playing in my head was Flawless by The Neighborhood
