Faking it by Cora Carmack

Plot:

Faking it. I think you can grasp what the story is about by just reading the title so I won't say too much about the plot. This is another story where we already met Cade in the first book and here he is trying to get over Bliss. Sounds like a storyline that I previously read but here Max (yes, a girl!) is the one with the commitment issues. 

The author:

I like Cora's writing and the meet the parents part was hilarious!!! She told the story nicely and manages to grip me from the very beginning. Sometimes it is hard for me to remember characters in the previous book but it wasn't a problem here. 

Cade and Max:

Cade was just too perfect and put together. I wanted more emotion from him, for him to break down or something. He just felt too good to be true. Max has her issues with her family. At one point I thought, 'oh no she going to be one of those heroines' but she recovered it well and I quite liked her.

Overall:

I found the story gripping to begin with and had me giggling but as the story got on I did get a bit bored. I think this is a strong follow up to losing it and will definitely be watching out for more of Cora's work.

Losing it by Cora Carmack

4 out of 5 stars

Story:

What I remember most about this book was Bliss on the verge of losing her virginity to Garrick but backing out at the last minute and later finds out he is her professor. Talk about awkward!!! I remember giggling like crazy Bliss and her cat was mentioned.

Overall:

I really liked this and couldn't put it down. It was fairly light with a bit of angst and humour. I will definitely be continuing on with the rest of the series. Great job Cora x

Before Now by Cheryl McIntyre

 "Hope broke Park's heart in the first book...

Now it's his book...

He meets Lucy, who is also his neighbour...

She wants to be friends with him...

But she also wants to find the guy beneath the manwhore...

My thoughts

I love reading about strong heroines. Lucy knew what she wanted and wasn't afraid to go for it.

“Everyone should have someone that cares.Someone that doesn't give up on them.Someone to always care what they're doing.Right at this moment,I make it my goal to be that someone for Park.”

Loved that Park didn't change his manwhore ways as soon as he met Lucy. And there was times when I wanted to shake Park for what he's doing to Lucy. I can't help but love Park though.

He deserves another picture...




Glad we still see the old characters pop up. Every time skittles are mentioned makes me want to re-read the first book all over again. A great follow on. Loving this series x"

 

Blackbird by Cheryl McIntrye

4.5 out of 5 stars

Not enough:

"Aww I read sometimes never a while ago and reading this short book just brings it all back. Makes me wanna re-read sometimes never. Love Hope and Mason together but this novella just wasn't enough."

Plot:

This short novella is the gap where it ended in Sometimes Never and the epilogue. If you love Mason and Hope's story you definitely can't miss this.

Sometimes Never by Cheryl McIntyre

4.5 out of 5 stars

I love this book:

Just finished Before Now, it reminds me how much I loved this book. I don't know what Cheryl does but when I read Blackbird n now Before Now, it always makes me want to go back to where it all began with Hope and Masons story with their bags of skittles!

The author:

I like her writing, not overly descriptive that has me skimming but enough story to keep me turning the pages with some twists along the way. 

Hope and Mason:

Love this couple. I remember finishing this and thinking I wish the author would just write a bit more about Hope and Mason. A little while later Blackbird was born! I was over the moon!! Really worth a read x

Beyond Eden by Kele Moon

2 out of 5 stars

Hm:

O I'm not sure about this one. This was just sex sex and more sex, either MF, MM or MMF. I don't normally mind reading these but the slave/master thing put me off. I loved Kele Moon's battered hearts series so I thought I give this a try but there was too much dialogue. 

Storyline or lack of:

So we have Danny boy and Paul guy as slave/master. Enter Evie Girl who is Paul's ex but Danny always had a thing for her too. Evie then starts a thing with Danny but Danny also has Paul on the side. Then to top it off theres Trisha who is Paul's fiancé. You can guess what happens at the end. I would have liked this if there was more of a storyline but nothing much happened! I think this would be enjoyable for those that enjoy pure erotica it just wasn't for me.

Nicknames:

Paul Guy. Danny Boy. Evie Girl. These nicknames got on my nerves. Would have been better without it.

Breathe by Kristen Ashley

5 out of 5 stars 

Woah:

I remember this book because of the couple of scenes where we have all four mountain men in the same room! I was swooning and thought I was going to faint. I love it when characters reappear later and of course my favourite Max is finally back. As well as the mountain men there is guest appearance of another character from KA other series.

Faye and Chace:

We met these two at the end of Lady Luck and I was intrigued. I knew without a doubt I was going to love Chace but Faye, she doesn't seem like the normal KA strong minded heroine. She was shy and timid but actually very likeable. In a way she was easy to relate to because she is always stuck in her book.

Storyline:

The previous Colorado book help set the scene for this book. So although all KA books are standalone I would recommend you read the series in order. Chace is a good cop gone bad but of course there are reasons for this. Easy to read and enough plot to keep you gripped. I can't wait for the next in the series.
