Bea and the Bad Boy: Young Adult Sweet Romance (Love in Ocean Grove #3) by Anna Catherine Field

This one is actually better than the first one with Finley… 

Book Review:

It was good

**** There are spoilers in this review***•••
This book was good; I get why Bea was upset….. with her brother and her best friend… I think that if they would’ve told her and made her understand she wouldn’t have blown everything up… or she could’ve at least talk to her best friend about it, but she didn’t. I didn’t like how her brother treated her by saying things to her and not Katherine. I was glad she had Carter because he wasn’t like her brother who I kept thinking he wanted the spotlight more than his sister and didn’t want her to shine… but she got more shine than he did with her fake dating Carter… which was good.

That Sabrina girl was just horrible and the funny thing about it there are so many females in the real world who have lied or teen boys and men about they tried rapping or have done something to them. Which come to find out is a line. That’s why I said men think they can do things to females to hurt or harm them, but females can do way worse than a man can… I hated what happened to Carter mom I don’t understand how women can stay with a man who is abusive to them or their kids… there’s no such thing as love if you have to put yourself through something like that… but both Carter and Bea made each other better for one another., though Carter could’ve shut down all those rumors about him.

---

Book Description:

A strong person doesn’t seek revenge. They let karma do the dirty work.

Too bad Bea isn’t strong, or at least she doesn’t think she is, which is why she jumps when the opportunity presents itself to get back at her twin brother and former best friend the summer before her senior year.
That opportunity is six-foot-two, with the wing-span of an Olympic swimmer, the abs of a professional body builder and the strong jaw of a Greek god. Unfortunately, his name is Carter Haines and is Bea’s next-door neighbor. He’s also dangerous. Like, police show up at the door dangerous.

All of those things make Carter the right person for her plan and luckily for her he needs a girl just like Bea to accomplish a few of his own goals this summer. Primarily, keeping his job and not getting sent to boarding school.

The plan goes off too smoothly, throwing these two into each other’s orbit, where they learn the truth about one another, why their lives are a mess and what it’s like to really trust someone. 

Bea and the Bad Boy is a standalone novel from Love in Ocean Grove, series of books about swoony first time love and toe-curling kisses for readers of all ages.

Never Have I Ever Faked a Boyfriend (Never Ever Love #2) by Juliet Bardsley

Really good book 📖…. 

Book Review:

Good
****Just a few spoilers*****

I liked this book it was cute and short; I was glad that Eric picked Bri over Aryanna I don’t get why most popular guys choose the most horrible popular girls to date… when they could get any non-popular girl to date who’s ten times better than the one they had.
I had to laugh when Aryanna wanted Eric back; when she disses him for a college guy. She didn’t want him when he was stressed over her leaving him. Because she knew she had him by the strings, but soon Bri came in the picture she tried putting her claws into him.

When they (Bri and Eric) went to Aryanna party, I knew it was a set up to break Bri & Eric up… but in the end, I was glad that Bri was forgiving Eric and the Spring Fling & not only that Sam and Savanah started dating too it would’ve been cool that they got a book also.

Btw; when you meet the family you know it’s real! Plus; Eric mom liked Bri better than Aryanna right there told Eric something; Aryana wasn’t good for him whereas Bri was and vise versa.

---

Book Description:

Their relationship was supposed to pretend… 

Eric Emerson’s last year at Cedar Oaks High couldn’t be better — he’s one of the most popular guys in the senior class, is holding solid A’s across the board, and has a gorgeous girlfriend. It couldn’t be better, that is, until his girlfriend breaks up with him for a college guy. 

Bri Songs loves living under the radar: she’s not exactly popular, would rather teach yoga than attend the usual teenage functions, and is perfectly content with being a senior who’s never had a real kiss. She tells herself that, at least. But with her sister’s wedding right around the corner, Bri’s mom is incessantly nagging her to bring a date. 

After a chance encounter after school, Eric and Bri come up with a plan to make both their lives better — Eric will escort Bri to her sister’s wedding, and Bri will help Eric win back his ex. All they have to do is pretend to date. Win-win, right? 

But as their plan begins to work, the line between fiction and reality gets blurred. 

What happens when fake feelings suddenly turn real? 

Book 2 in the best-selling Never Ever Love series. All books in this series are short, sweet, swoon-worthy, and can be read in any order! 

Kissing the Boy Next Door (Sweet Water High #3) by Judy Corry

Actually a good book 📖 📖 

Book Review:

It was good

••***Spoilers throughout this review**••
I thought this book was way better than the others to this series that I read… it kept me interested… I figured that Lauren dad was the real dad, especially when they were trying to figure out what the family feud was all about. The whole time it wasn’t even Wes parents nor was it her dad (the man that raised her) fought… more so it was her mom, keeping those secrets from both her husband and daughter even though her husband knew already. But it would’ve been better if her mom was women enough to tell Lauren about her birth father. Nobody told her mom to spread her legs and rebound with TJ aka Travis aka Lauren and Wes cross country coach! Then end up pregnant and keeping it a secret… if only she would’ve been truthful I think that family feud wouldn’t have happened because her mom felt some way when Wes mom asked her questions about TJ… But in the end, I’m glad that everyone finally got along and forgiven each other…

---

 

Book Description:

Talking to him is forbidden, so why can’t I stay away?

It’s been five years since Wes and I have spoken. Five years since he decided our friendship was less important than our parents’ fight. So when we’re forced to practice a duet together, I expect him to keep our contact to a minimum.

Instead, he’s telling me the feud between our parents has gone on long enough. That he misses me and wants to fix things between us.

But I’m not going to fall for it. I won’t fall for his charms like so many other girls have in the past.

If only my stupid heart would listen to my brain. Because kissing the boy next door is no way to fix a family feud.

Or is it?

1 town. 1 high school. 12 sweet romances.

Read Kissing The Boy Next Door from Judy Corry today for a story with all the feels. It is the third installment of the Sweet Water High Multi-Author Series.

Rebound Boyfriend (Varsity Girlfriends #3) by Daphne James Huff

Good book but man Sammi was so annoying and whiny 😫… 

Book Review:

Omg Jeremiah this Jeremiah that like sheesh

Okay •••• Spoilers throughout••••

Okay! This book was good, but OMFG Sammi got on my last nerve. Like ugh; all she did was obsessed over Jeremiah but when Ryan said he liked someone else; she felt some way. I’m like she didn’t even want him so why do she care… especially when Ryan didn’t run to her on different occasions… she was ONLY thinking about JEREMIAH for peak sake like sheesh!
But she was an idiot to think that Linkie waits Linzie was her friend look at what happened with Anderson and Charlie, and how Anderson cheated on her with Linzie. Even though, Jeremiah didn’t technically cheat he still left Sammi for Linzie of all people. That girl is a jealous thot! Keep messing around with people men…
Luckily Sammi found out and finally gotten with Jeremiah because I could barely handle reading about her whining and comparing Ryan to Jeremiah…. 9/10; I figure Ryan was shy or didn’t even want her that was the reason why he acted that way towards her. It was just painful reading this book because all she did was whine, but at least she got her friendship back with Staci! Now I want Staci to find love with someone, and pray to god if she does she isn’t whiny as her best friend Samantha good god it was dreadful…

 

Book Description:

For my best friend. 

Via text message. 

2 days before Christmas. 

So I did what any self-respecting head cheerleader would do: I started dating his teammate. Who’s great. Really. 

But now Jeremiah keeps looking at me like he misses holding me just as much as I miss being in his arms. And we’ve been paired up for the most important history project of my entire life. 

Can my heart survive this? Or should I hope for another shot with the only boy I’ve ever loved?

Rebound Boyfriend is a sweet second chance sports romance you’ll swoon over instantly. It’s the third book in the Varsity Girlfriends series.

#BreakingTheRules (#BestFriendsForever #6) by Yesenia Vargas (Author)

I’ve been waiting on Rey book, but Rey is kind of annoying; whereas her best friends weren’t annoying at all! This book is good though!!!! good!

Book Review:

Okay

•••• spoilers not that many•••
But I thought this book was okay; different from the other BFF series. Rey was kind of whiny and annoying… but I enjoyed her story and was glad that she got the guy she wanted “Wes” I was so ready for her to get her guy, I also knew that Hugo (I hate that name) was going to come around in the end. But what was funny he didn’t catch on to anything Wes said about if it was the other way around (if you read the book) you know that I am talking about! The only reason he figures out was because of his mom.
But in the end, everyone was happy I figure well “no” I thought she was going to go to the same college and her brother and Wes but she didn’t end up going to college she made a career out of her writing!!! In a way I was sort of like Rey writing down my thoughts and made them into poems on websites etc. & into reading but I am more into photography and art… but I am just like her in many ways.

Playing with Fire (Grove Valley High 0.5) by Emma Doherty

Sophie is just smh… it’s so many women that’s like her…. & there’s women/girls who actually wants a guy like Mark… I wanted to smack her silly. Reading this book. After reading the other book with her friend Olivia… have me thinking Mark is stupid… if you read both books you see what I meant.

Book Review:

Good but Sophia one dumb chick
•••••I mention some spoilers in this review, and couldn’t help but speak my mind**•••••
Sophie is smh… it’s so many women that’s like her…. & some women/girls want a guy like Mark… I wanted to smack her silly. Reading this book. After reading the other book with her friend Olivia… have me thinking Mark is/was stupid… for even giving her another chance… because once she saw that Garrett was horrible and gotten caught a second time she felt some way. Then going to be upset when Mark started dating that girl Jenna… I didn’t blame Mark.

For one; yes he on the rebound, but Sophia gutted him; I tried saying hurt him with ed at the end but autocorrect kept saying gutted. But like I said she hurt him so bad not once; but twice more, than two times because she kept ignoring his text messages… because she assumes she wanted Garrett. What her idiot self didn’t realize was maybe Whitney was more than likely pretending and also Garrett probably only wanted to make her jealous. You could tell her (Sophia) didn’t care about what Benji her (Sophia) brother thought of him (Garrett) hitting on his sister.
But what I can agree on; is when it came to Garrett, he stated Sophia kept coming on to him and flirting which was true. I blame them both because for one she knew he was a grown ass man and he knew she was only 16 turning 17… she was underage, and he was like twenty-one… he didn’t care. Mark should’ve punched him (Garrett) too, hell right after Benji punches him (Garrett). You could tell Garrett knew what he was doing…. when it came to Benji sister… like boy bye you could’ve said NO… plus; I die of laughter when she realize Garrett kisses suck 😂😂😂 I was like she should’ve stuck with Mark the “teenager” you kept dissing for a “grown man” aka “sloppy kisser”…. It was priceless. She felt so stupid after what happened. I was like welp Livi tried to tell your butt; even wack ass Jessie…. gosh I could tell he was horrible in this book too but more so in the book with Livi… but anyways I’m off topic…
What I do want to know …. was… did Mark taken Sophia back because the one with Livi they were talking and stuff and getting all close I wanted to know more like the book one (w/Livi & Chase) did versus this one. Mark was a good guy; often more likely we all need guys like him. I be telling people (I know this is fiction) that women cheat too; what I realize both Livi and Sophia cheated on two of the guys who actually cared about them and ONLY felt stupid once they were caught. I highly doubt either of them would’ve felt bad if they didn’t get caught. But what was in my head when Garrett was kissing Sophia I kept thinking he was going to rape her or something by how he was acting while kissing her. But in the end, I was happy he left… I can’t say it was a happy ending in this book, but it was good though… I should’ve read this before the “Stand-In Boyfriend” but oh well!

 

Book Description:

Sophie Steele is looking forward to summer break: no school, no responsibilities, hanging out with her best friend, Livy, and the boy she’s been casually dating for the last couple of months. But, when her brother’s gorgeous friend moves in with them while he completes a summer internship, her goal changes. Suddenly the only thing she wants this summer is him. 

She wants him even more when her brother warns her off him, and even more than that when Livy tells her it’s a bad idea. Then when he starts dating one of her brother’s friends? Well, that makes him irresistible. 

Because that’s the thing about Sophie—she’s always wanted what she can’t have. 

… 

This is a 32,000 word novella to introduce the characters of the Grove Valley High Series.

The Stand-In Boyfriend (Grove Valley High #1) by Emma Doherty

Suppose to be writing 6-8 pages paper but ….. I just want to read 😂💯👌🏽 “The Stand-In Boyfriend” … let’s hope this book is good. 🤸🏼‍♂️

Book Review:

Fake boyfriend = real boyfriend

•••Spoilers throughout this review••••
Lord the girl Livi aka Olivia I wanted to smack her so many times it wasn’t even funny. Like omg; her obsession with her best friend was over the top and ridiculous like Jheeze… All you see was Jessie this Jessie that. Jessie; Jessie, Jessssiee a thousand times like good lord. & I knew in my mind that Chase liked Olivia that’s why he did the fake boyfriend thing with her because he knew that was the only option he had to get to her… which I can agree on because lord Livi was in LOVE with Jessie so hard! Every single thing blinded her… plus; she was dumb a lot of times especially when Jessie was using her and taking advantage of her and being disrespectful to her and especially when Charlotte wait that isn’t her name I think it was Courtney if not whatever I didn’t like her anyway.
But anywho; Jessie was just a horrible person, but when Chase got loud with her she was butt *** hurt when he mentions her father … I was like this girl here…smh then felt some type of way when she gotten caught by Chase when she was kissing Jessie not once did she ever tell him Jessie kissed her at the game! But in my mind, I think Chase seen that part because he tends to watch her a lot! I wanted her peanut brain to realize that Chase was never pretending, but it never happens until Chase didn’t want to deal with her dumb self anymore. I was like lord girl…… & when Chase told her that he was faking boy she was but hurt I was like oh well you freaking idiot…. you wanted Jessie; Jessie Jessie way you mad for… like Gosh! She was annoying! Chase was way better, and he was someone that Jessie was not! Plus Chase knew how horrible Jessie treated her. Not only that I figure out he didn’t like him due to the fact of how he treated Olivia… Chase definitely didn’t like Jessie… but Jessie started hating Chase once Livi wasn’t there for his beck and call. I still said that’s why he so butted her; but when someone else came in the picture that when Jessie dumb self-thought he could go in and take Olivia way. I still said that he set that kissing in his bedroom up so that Chase can find out. Plus; in the end, I’m glad that Chase and Livi kissed and made up and that Abigail apologizes to both Livi and her friend Hallie…

Dear Adam (The Pen Pal Romance Series) by Kelsie Stelting

I thought this book was going to be wack but it actually wasn’t.

Book Review:

Pen Pal use to be a thing; that I still think is great.

*Spoilers throughout this review;***••••
I can’t get over Emerick niece no cousin reading that romance book with the shirtless dude on the front; and she’s only ten … I don’t know why I find it hilarious. But gah 😂😂😂 it reminds me of my niece trying to read books she knows she shouldn’t be reading; lol!

I died laughing when Emerick said “I glanced back at Janie, her nose already buried in some book with a shirtless man on the cover. She was only ten. What the hell did she want to do with a book like that?” 😂😂 I was thinking the same thing like what the what… her mom even knew she was reading it too. I’m dead weak!
Plus; I was glad when Nora got rid of Trey; he was just horrible. I was also glad he stopped coming around and both her parents realize how awful he was. Did that terrible thing to her over a breakup that to me I felt like he only did it for “it couple” like he stated. Like ugh; Emerick aka Adam was so right for Nora as she was to him. I still felt like she could’ve apologized for what she said about him only knowing how to fix cars etc. you can never judge a book by its cover. Because the ones you think are beneath you are way better than those who are just like you. I was just glad that Nora realizes that and Emerick realize that Nora was a snob etc…. Emerick deserves that certificate he, and I like how he also helped his friend Wolf realize he could do better for himself. I didn’t realize this book was going to be good; just by looking at the cover… but this book was grade A 5-star book. I like it; I liked that no one judge him well they did because they assume he was a black kid… but what I did like was at least her family accepted him even though he was a black boy and she was a white girl. Because often parents don’t accept two different races being together.
