Book Description: 

For the first time in her life, Ireland Mills is happy with her body. No more fad diets, no more hiding from every camera in the room, no more low self-esteem. She’d rather be alone than with someone who’ll only love her if she’s skinny.

Caleb Carpenter and Ben Weber are everything Ireland and the Kansas Chamber of Commerce dreamed of when conceptualizing the “Real Kansas” promotional campaign. They’re handsome, young, educated, and totally dedicated to their small prairie town.

When Ireland’s Prius gets stuck on a Kansas dirt road and a massive storm rips through town, she’s left stranded with nowhere to turn but to Caleb and Ben. These two hunky country boys are impossible to ignore, but could they ever be interested in her as well?

Caleb and Ben are more than interested…and they’re willing to share. After their first night together, they know this has to be more than a one-time thing. They need to make her theirs forever. But can they convince Ireland they love her, curves and all?

The Candy Cane Kiss (Briarwood High #6) by Maggie Dallen (Author)

This book is actually funny and good! I hate reading Christmas books. But only read them when they are part of a series like this book. & this series has two of them. Bleh! I skip pass book 📖 4 and reading book 5… I’ll go back to book 4 after I read book 5. 

Book Review: 

***Candy Cane had something to do with her stocking “Christmas stocking” …. which was Lucas nickname for her… 🙌🏽

I’m not going to say too much, but this story was cute. I don’t get the Christmas stories. I guess it always has to be one every Christmas when it comes to series. Which sucks. But in the end, this book was still good and interesting enough!

•••***** JUST GOING TO ADD SPOILERS HERE AND THERE******•••

So, Lucas and Lola are two complete opposites. But they both made one another happy. She even him out as well as he did for her. You always need that one person in your life who change you for the better. That was Lucas for Lola and Lola for Lucas. See Eleanor didn’t do that for Lucas, same as he didn’t do it for her. He didn’t care for Eleanor as he did for Lola… he showed feeling for Lola: Even Eleanor and her friend Blake seem to understand and see that his feeling for both girls was different. Lola, I am kind of like her minus the clothing that she wears. She’s a loner and doesn’t care what others think and what they think about her. She has her own mind and do what she wants and sees fit. She was dressing the way she wants and didn’t care that Blake or even Lucas like her style. Up until he learns to LOVE her, her weirdness, and her style. Even Eleanor and Blake began to like her and her style. More so that had something to do with Lucas. Especially when it came to swing dancing… I can’t see myself doing that dance, but it does seem like something fun to do. Especially if you someone that’s a loner., you can go out and meet those who are into the same thing as you. That is what Lola did; even though she had Lucas and his friends with her. I like in the end he finally admitted to her (Lola) that he liked (no LOVE) her and actually wanted to kiss her (not because Eleanor was just there)… and they ended up making the dance into her retro vintage style (as everyone call it “old lady clothing”) …. they ended up accepting her and her style. Which was cool!

The Candy Cane Kiss (Briarwood High Book 6) 
by Maggie Dallen 
Goodreads Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2682933650

---

Book Description: 

Fake kisses shouldn’t taste so sweet. 

When the new star quarterback at Briarwood High winds up in the hospital over Christmas break, he’s sure that’s as bad as it can get. 
He’s wrong. His day is about to get so much worse. First, he’s stuck with that irritating new girl from school who’s currently dressed as a holly jolly Christmas elf as she volunteers on his floor. Then his ex shows up and asks his permission to bring her new boyfriend to his family’s Christmas party, and then…well, then he makes it all a million times worse by kissing the closest girl at hand, who just happens to be that weirdo candy striper with a penchant for Grandma cardigans and candy-cane striped tights. She also happens to be the only girl at Briarwood who doesn’t like him. He couldn’t have chosen a worse fake girlfriend if he’d tried. So the question is…if this relationship is all wrong, why does it feel so right? 

Lola is a self-proclaimed freak and a military brat just waiting to graduate so she can take the first bus out of Briarwood. She’s also more than a little obsessed with all things retro. Including swing dancing. The only problem? Swing dancing requires a partner. Where on earth is she supposed to find a willing dance partner in the sea of conformist mediocrity that is her new high school? Fortunately for her, the arrogant jerk in the hospital bed needs her more than she needs him if he stands any chance of winning back his ex. So yeah, she’ll help him. For a price. But the closer they get, the more she hates the idea of handing him over to his perfect ex, and the more she has to wonder. Will she be the one paying the price…with a broken heart?

The Perfect League (Briarwood High #3) by Maggie Dallen

Currently reading 📖 “The Perfect League“ book 3 to the “Briarwood High series” by Maggie Dallen… short but interesting book. 

Book Review: 

Yup, I liked this book it was cute and interesting. I am just going to add well no; I am just going to rate this book a 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ star.

•••• There’s a possibility of spoilers in my review•••****

So let me get into why I rate it a 4 star instead of a 5 star. I am going to say because it was 100% great; but a good book. I did like Juliette and Conner story I thought they both were made for one another. Not only that they completed each other; even though they were complete opposites.

Opposites do attract, and I do believe with this series there were plenty of those. They both made each other happy, even Conner sister Gina was delighted that he had Juliette in his life. Without her, I believe that Conner would’ve still held on to his fears especially with getting close to others. Thinking that his mother will move to another state in the USA. & not only that his father had an effect on his worries about people up and leaving him. There’s a lot of understanding when it comes to both Jules and Conner situations.

---

Book Description:

What can Briarwood’s resident bad boy teach little miss perfect? A lot, actually, since he’s her hot new tutor. 

Beloved by her classmates at Briarwood High and newly minted captain of the girls’ basketball team, Juliette’s life is perfect. Except for the fact that she’s one bad grade away from failing. A tutor might help, but that would mean exposing her deep dark secret–she’s not perfect. Far from it. But if word gets out, her team will lose their fearless leader and she’ll lose her stainless reputation. Luckily there’s one name on the list of tutors who has nothing to do with her friends…or anyone else in the school, for that matter. Connor may not have friends, but it turns out there’s a lot he can teach her. And not all of it is on her syllabus. Like how amazing a first kiss can be and how hard and fast two people can fall in love, even when they both know that this secret relationship is all sorts of wrong. 

The Briarwood High novels are completely standalone romances that can be read in any order.

 

Misadventures with a Manny (Misadventures #14) by Toni Aleo

My current; this book is actually good. I almost finish this book. Way better than the speed demon book; I definitely didn’t like. I can’t wait until her kids, accept Lincoln for their stepdad & mom boyfriend “maybe future husband”

Book Review: 

*••••There most likely going to be a few or maybe a couple of spoilers in my review•••

So I have been waiting for this book to come out, and once it did, I couldn’t wait to read it. I may say I was not disappointed at all in this book. The author did an excellent job with this one. It kept my attention from beginning to end. I was so ready for Vera to get her some Lincoln. Her husband was a scum bag and wanted to see her fail but a gotten fool. I was also glad that Kiara or whatever her name was gotten rid of him too. He even cheated on her, once a cheater.. he cheated on her seven times.

This reminds me of my mom dust bunny ex-boyfriend who cheated on her 6 to 7 times and she kept taking him back unlike My mom Vera was married to the scum bag, Simon. I was glad that her sister hired Lincoln if it wasn’t for him the kids especially Charlie would still misbehave because of what their dad had done. Not only that Vera would’ve still been sad about what he did to his family.

Simon was straight trash … I wish she could’ve gotten full custody of the kids. But I glad In the end she got well admitted she wanted Lincoln because she was making me mad when she acted like she didn’t want him. When she did. She gave Lincoln a family; as well as Lincoln has her family. Both well more so she gave Lincoln a kid, I know he would be an amazing father as well as her as a mom. Though what cracks me up is that EVERYONE assumes he might be gay just because he didn’t have any GIRLFRIEND and he was a manny with an EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION degree. It’s crazy how as a male people think otherwise.

Book Description: 

Vera Woods is at her wit’s end.

Her husband has run off with the nanny, leaving Vera with a broken heart, three very angry sons, and even less time to juggle the demands of family and her career. After her boys scare away a sixth replacement nanny, Vera is out of time off from work and desperately out of options. Still nursing an aching heart, she turns to an unlikely source for help―a manny.

Lincoln Scott is no stranger to family chaos. But rather than grow jaded, he has thrown his natural talents into building his own business―providing live-in childcare for families as a manny. The money is great and the perks are a blast, but when his family of six years moves to Germany and their plans to bring him along fall through, Lincoln is suddenly unemployed and aware of how much of himself he’s given to other people’s families.

Brought together by circumstances, Lincoln and Vera’s mutually beneficial business arrangement becomes complicated by the undeniable chemistry they share. Vera needs a manny and Lincoln needs a job, but they both may have found the very thing neither one had realized they needed―a whole lot more.

Misadventures with a Speed Demon (Misadventures #13) by Chelle Bliss

Reading 📖 “Misadventures with a Speed demon” 🐾 

Book Review:

***•• There’s a few spoilers throughout this review**•••

So, Brooks name is ridiculous but funny he has two first names. But I thought it would’ve been better if his name was “Carter Brooks” instead of Brooks Carter … it’s just weird!!
Brooks and Faith they fell for each other quickly, I also knew they were going to have sexy time when they had tequila…. her brother Roscoe is mad annoying!

I was glad in the end that they finally told her father about them being together. Though, Roscoe caught them kissing, at least he didn’t snitch and told their father.

Also, the end I was glad that Brooks got a family in Faith and his family of his own. This review is short because I didn’t like this book that much; that’s why it took me forever to finish even though it was only 16 chapters plus the epilogue…

I also forgot to add that his mom wasn’t sh*t especially when she tried to spread those lies. & not only that found out that he was racing; thinking she was going to get some $$$ out of him. She got fool, that’s why she ran to the press. I was glad she gotten locked up for burning down his trailer, that was so uncalled for but glad he was with Faith at her house. Not only that I knew that Faith was going to end up pregnant that was one thing I was glad of, and also He (Brooks & Roscoe) became cool & friends.

The Nobody and the Popular Guy (The Sunday Lunchers #6) by Julia Keanini

Almost finish the last book to the “Sunday lunchers” … I’m still lost to why “Sara” well by a book was written about Sara… I thought I had seen her name in at least two or three books to this series… during the girls counseling sessions… but I can’t place her…

Book Review: 

 I liked this book it was; different than the others 

****There’s definitely spoilers throughout this review:*****

<i>Omg, I’m here like Mr. Brandon, why they are talking about the counselor from books 1-5 in this series. Come to find out Blake is the actual guy who spoke to those girls (Lacey, Jamie, Audrey, Tina & Anna) through their eating disorders. Because In one of the books it mentions how he had the same problem in school and comes to find out he was the dang counselor.</i> <u>I was here ‘lost’ wondering who’s “Sara” was and why a book was written about her… I thought I had seen her name in at least two or three books to this series… during the girls counseling sessions. But I can’t place her.. but then my brain is telling me in one of these books her name is mentioned when Mr. Brandon talked about his wife. </u>
That is crazy; I liked Mr. Brandon in book 1-5, and dislike like him 2.5 seconds when he let dust bunny Britney and her friends bully Sara! I think he could’ve to help Sara! If he actually did care for her. The way he went about it hurt Sara so bad especially all those evil things they did to her. I couldn’t blame Sara for not wanting to talk to him and not deal with him. Run away when he comes around. I too think why are you here, trying to ruin my life again. But I cannot wait until he apologizes and explains to Sara why he did what he did when they were in high school together.

I’m still mad about that set up that was the plan. But I was wondering how they played that setup so well when (well, how they know Sara was going to the bathroom at the particular time)… plus Darla and Jared were both a piece of crap too. I definitely wanted to smack them both with Britney…

I like how Blake finally gave Sara an explanation of why he couldn’t tell her or diss her “treated her like crap” as he said., I knew Britney was EVIL but evil enough to put Blake eating disorders out was pure evil if that was the case behind him treating Sara the way he did. I still said he was DEAD wrong!

But glad in the end, she knew that she should’ve forgiven him a LONG time ago; especially behind the reason, he did what he did. I also, knew that it wasn’t planned for Sara to find Blake passed out! Ha, Britney saw Blake changed because of Sara; what a hater. Glad, that Sara got Blake in the end. #truefacts

Book Description: 

Sara is a good girl with a good life. But in high school that can sometimes be the kiss of death. She knows she should be happy with the way things are, nothing is wrong in her life, but she can’t help but feel like something is missing. But it looks like that hole might become filled when she almost trips over Blake Brandon. 

Blake knows image is everything and he’s figured it all out. He’s the star wrestler, has always dated the right girl, and has the right friends. But when the pressure of keeping everything the way it appears gets to be too much, Blake turns to an unlikely source for help- Sara. 

Will Blake realize Sara’s crush on him? Will Sara figure out Blake’s secret? Or will they be driven apart? 

A sweet YA romance with lots of heart.

Fame, Fate, and the First Kiss by Kasie West

One of my favorite authors… read mostly all of her books. 📚 I can’t wait to read this one. 🙌🏽⭐️📸📖 . @kasiewest & @epicreads!!

Book Description: 

Lacey Barnes has dreamt of being in a movie for as long as she can remember. However, while her dream did include working alongside the hottest actor in Hollywood, it didn’t involve having to finish up her senior year of high school at the same time she was getting her big break. Although that is nothing compared to Donavan, the straight-laced student her father hires to tutor her, who is a full-on nightmare.

As Lacey struggles to juggle her burgeoning career, some on-set sabotage, and an off-screen romance with the unlikeliest of leading men, she quickly learns that sometimes the best stories happen when you go off script.

The Broken Girl and the Hero (The Sunday Lunchers #5) by Julia Keanini

Just finished book 5? Of the Sunday lunchers. This is the one book I really wanted to read from this series…

Book Review: 

Good book; wasn’t disappointed.. 5 star. ⭐️

***• I’m just going to add the spoilers here•*****

So I have wanted to read this book for a while now because I wanted to know Audrey story. I am glad that I got to read her story. Which was so different from the other four girls… like I think this book was a book five idk but anyways!

It sucks that her friend Molly didn’t believe anything that “Katie” at the time said about her dad. But what it was Molly is just like her father and wanted to get in denial … I was glad that Audrey got out of her shale and became stronger than she truly was.

All it took was for Brent to come into her life again and give her that spark that she needed. I was also glad that she put Chris in his place. Because he almost ruin things for Brent, but Brent became a police officer, and Dylan became an investor… so I figure football wasn’t their calling. Not only that I was glad that In the end Dylan and Jenna finally got together. Because they wanted each other as much as Brent and Audrey each other.

I was glad that Audrey became stronger when her abuser (her ex-best friend father) came into her new home and tried to hurt her. In the end, I was glad she used her business degree to open up well more so to help those women who are a victim of abusive relationships, family members; ransoms, etc. I like stuff like that especially for women because it gives us women to protect ourselves from the evil of the world. That’s something I always wanted to do (boxing; martial arts, work out exercises) never know when you might need to kick somebody butt.

& I was glad that Audrey kicks Gary *** in the end. She needed to be happy; I also understood why she didn’t want to be called by Katie-Lynn, especially when he called her that name. Audrey was a way better name for her. I can’t stand men who prey on children yuck!!! For her friend to blame her at the age of thirteen saying she wanted to be raped by that man is just disgusting… I wanted to slap her ex-best friend, Molly.

I’ve been broken. Physically, mentally, spiritually…broken. And I’m okay staying that way as long as no one breaks me ever again. 

Or so I thought. But then Brent, the guy who rescued me and saw me at my worst, walks back into my life. He sees me, the real me and he doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. But the last thing I want is for anyone to see me. And as part of me wants him to stay far away and leave me be, the other part wonders…what would it be like to be whole again? Could I be whole again?

The Sweet Girl and the Rock Star (The Sunday Lunchers #4) by Julia Keanini

I just finished this book📖, & I’m still stuck on the fact that her mom named her “Tina Turner 😂😂 talk about someone being your idol!!! 

 

Book Review:

This book was so good; it only took me one day to finish this though I started this almost towards midnight… I still count it as one day.

**•• Just let me add a few spoilers throughout this review”•***

So okay, I knew that Jessie boy was full of it smh, it always that one band member that will mess it up for others. Then to come to find out even Josh and Dragon didn’t even like him, that they only let Jessie stay because Tina loved him at the time. I was glad they went to that competition because they got to see who Jessie truly was.

Especially with the things, he said about her and to her. I couldn’t stand that Kelly Cook lady. She was so disrespectful, and Jessie wack self-agreed with everything she said about Tina. But not, Josh, Josh took up for Tina, that he should. But what I couldn’t figure out how Tina, never realize that it was Josh was the one who followed her around like a lost puppy. As the lady Verna I think that’s how you spell her name mention. She assumed it might be Nick I said really…

Same for when she though Nick told the Reporters that Z was her father. She was to blind to figure out it wasn’t Nick. I mean her and Josh were in the studio talking, and someone could’ve heard them and or a camera could’ve been in there at that time recording them… I still couldn’t figure out how they couldn’t figure that out. But glad everyone figured out what they wanted to do besides music and got a new guitar player. I do wonder if Dragon went to school for interior design…

In the end, I am glad, that Z and CeCe ended up together & not only that Tina and Josh finally figured out they wanted each other smh! One thing I hope is that in the next book, it doesn’t wait until they are adults to realize they want, care, find out they had the feeling for each other ugh! So annoying !!!! Happens in like the other two or three books before this one.

Oh thing I forgot to add, I was glad Jessie album flop especially since he went solo and blame Tina for getting them to kick out of the competition. When I still say Kelly has something to do with it. As well as brainwashing Jessie too … glad Nick didn’t let Kelly get to him. Jessie was cunt bucket idiot and showed his true colors to his bandmates.

Book Description:

What if the right guy has always been right there? 

There are only two things I love enough that I’d want them as a part of my life forever – music and my bandmates. While my classmates focus on grades and sports, I focus on my band. And we’re decent.

The better we do on the show, the closer our band gets to ruin. The only thing saving us is my bandmate, Josh. But just as I realize my feelings for him are more than platonic, the world, namely the girls of the world, discover the same thing I have. Josh is the ultimate rock star and can have any girl he wants.  There’s no way he could possibly choose me, could he?
