Our Review of Cree
 
We must first begin by saying---WE LOVE MILLY!

Review May Contain Spoilers

Raw. No holds bard, intense, emotional, inspiring read.

Milly's refusal to give up on life and let it get her down made her one kick ass chick.
Abandoned by her parents at 5 years old Milly is left to sit in her own filth starving for days until her Poppy comes to her rescue. Growing up with him might not be normal compared to everyone else but for her it was the best.
When she's in college she meets Aaron the perfect all American boy. The guy that every girl wanted and they live happily ever after.
Yea freaking right!!!

All she is, is arm candy while he's screwing everyone and their dentist. She puts up with him for 6 years. Why? Because of his mother Francis. Talk about the ultimate, amazing mom and the bastard (aka Aaron) doesn't even appreciate her, but Milly sure does.
Francis and Milly's time together is spent in the best of ways loving each other until sadly Francis becomes ill and Milly Loses her best friend to cancer. What 'Francis May Crazy Pants' leaves Milly is the ultimate freedom and FU to the lying cheating bastard.
Francis gave her one word to live by... Go!
Starting her new life in a new place Milly finds the best of friends in Lacey and Willow.
Oh and we can't forget hunky hot single dad, Cree and his daughter Annie. With all these amazing new people in her life she truly lets go of her past and finds love in all the right places.

With a few bumps along the way and allot of crazy hilarious commentary this one makes for one hell of a great read.
It will make you Laugh and Cry. The Banter between Lacy and Milly OH MY GOSH! At times Almost made me PMP... (Pee my pants)

Our 4.5 Star Review

Caroline is trying to get through her second year of college alone after her best friend can't make it back to school after an accident over the summer. Sharing a dorm with the room mate from hell finally has a perk when a girl comes pounding on her door early one morning thinking she's the one her boyfriend cheated on her with. After identities are sorted out they become friends and when she meets Tara's brother Eric a lust bomb explodes. Even though he's arrogant Caroline can't stop thinking about him, but when she meets sweet and sexy Kyle she tries to get him out of her mind. As she begins seeing Kyle her few meetings with Eric leave her confused, but not as much as her dreams. Even though she barely knows him she can't seem to ignore the pull she has with Eric, but Kyle is the perfect guy. As she tries to sort out her heart who will she choose?

I loved the way this story played out where although it looks like a triangle  from reading the synopsis it is really tastefully done and you don't end up hating the main character for screwing over two guys. Caroline knows she has feelings pulling her in different directions, but the story doesn't disrespect either guy by making her into a bad guy.

Great read can't wait to see which other characters get their stories told next.

All American Wolf by Adriana Hunter

All American Wolf

Synopsis

When a dead, naked body is found frozen in the snow, recently promoted Detective Serena Daniels is assigned to the case. Determined to be taken seriously, she sets to work unraveling the mystery, one suspect at a time.

Brody Sullivan is a man with many secrets and he also just happens to be Madison County's newest citizen. So when he ends up on the list of potential suspects, it is Serena's job to clear his name. There's just one problem: Serena's felt an undeniable attraction to Brody that ignited from the moment they first met, and if she's not careful she may lose more than her job, she may lose her heart to the man who is willing to break every one of her rules.

ADULTS ONLY. New Adult Paranormal/Werewolf Romance: Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.


Our 3.5 Star Review

Serena is the lead detective on a case that get stranger and stranger by the day. A naked frozen body shaken to death , wolf prints that are too big for their own good, and evidence that runs in circles. Not to mention that the man she slept with just days prior is the main suspect according to a tracker who comes in with wild stories and an addictive personality she can't seem to ignore. Will she solve this case or will things get out of hand before everything comes to a head?

Serena as a female lead was okay, she is working in a guys world and trying to prove she didn't earn her place on her back. Problem is she doesn't seem to have a backbone when she needs it there at the beginning, but she definitely found it there at the end. Brody is intense and mysterious but in their few interactions you can see they have chemistry. And if Brody was intense, Wes is outta this world over the top intense. Strong and seductive you can't be 100% sure what's happening until the end. The story itself is interesting but it's the shifter aspect that left me wanting. I wanted to understand more of the backgrounds and abilities of the shifters in this world. And more background on Serena would have been nice too. Why did she want to be a detective? What about her family? Same thing for the other characters. Small things that make you feel connected to the characters and the story.

CGW Angelisa Stone
Book Title: Can't Go Without (Oasis Waterfall, #2)
Author: Angelisa Stone
Genre: Contemporary New Adult Romance
Release Date: March 1, 2014
Synopsis
“What’s the one thing you can’t go without?”
Tristan O'Donnell has money, women, and all the luxuries that cold hard cash can buy. Tristan's been sucking sunshine right from the monogrammed silver spoon his life was served up on since the day he was born. And quite frankly, he wouldn't want it any other way. He's his mother's pride and joy, his father's right-hand-man, and the envy of every guy around. All Tristan has to do is flash his million dollar smile, give his trademark wink, and he gets what he wants, when he wants, anytime he wants.
Leah Franchetti grinds her fingers to the bone; sculpting, painting, recreating treasures from trash—the very sentiment that defines her life. Her inventive, vindictive, lucrative, and seemingly unforgivable plan allowed her to shortcut her way into the life she always imagined, owning an art gallery, surrounding herself in the comfort of her passion and dreams.
When circumstances force Leah and Tristan to come face-to-face with the past and with Leah’s devious manipulation, truths come flooding forth, destroying those in the present and possibly jeopardizing both of their highly anticipated futures.
Can Tristan overcome Leah’s slander and deception—despite how dangerously close he comes to losing the one thing he can’t go without—money? Will Leah be forced to come clean, knowing she’ll have to live her life with the one thing she can’t go without—her dignity?
excerpt
Rushing out of Chet O’Donnell’s office, angrily and haughtily, I face-plant straight into a strong, hard chest, covered in a wool, cable-knit sweater, smelling of expensive cologne. People always say that the sense of smell is the most powerful sense, triggering memories and feelings clearer than any of the other four senses combined. Just one smell, one inhalation of that warm, sexy designer cologne and my insides burn, ignite with intense desire and longing. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. No. No. No. “I’m…I’m…I’m…” I stammer, backing up, dropping my head, and looking straight at the ground in humiliation. “I’m…I gotta go,” I mumble, sidestepping out of his way, and heading straight for the elevator. I push the button repeatedly, knowing damn well my actions won’t speed up the elevator’s arrival. Tristan runs to catch me, just as I eye the stairwell and bolt for the door. “Leah! Wait!” he yells; the “wait” is muffled by the sound of the door slamming behind me. I run down only one flight of steps and escape onto the twentieth floor, knowing that Tristan O’Donnell would chase me the entire way down the stairs—if seeing and talking to me were his goals. Tristan O’Donnell always gets what he wants. Always. Hoping that Tristan doesn’t check the video monitors, I walk down the hallway to the other set of stairs and down to the first floor, exiting O’Donnell Industries. Once I hit the street, the winter sun reflecting off the snow burns my eyes. I squint at the pain of the brightness, knowing the sting of my tears has nothing to do with the shining, searing light.

First Moon by Michelle Fox

First Moon

Synopsis

Audrey Levine, thinks being bitten by a wolf is just another day on the job. She couldn’t be more wrong...

A wildlife rehabilitation specialist, Audrey usually does all the rescuing, but now she's the one who needs help. In ten days, she’ll be covered in fur and howling at the moon while the werewolf who bit her is out there waiting to claim her as his own...whether she wants to be his or not.

The biggest problem? The curvy beauty doesn’t know any of this.

Werewolf, Tao Black, is the strong, silent type, which is an asset in his role as pack enforcer. Hot on the trail of a wolf gone bad, he runs into trouble and is saved by Audrey. Realizing her situation, he vows to protect Audrey from the wolf who bit her, no matter what it takes.

But that means going against his alpha’s orders and that might get them both killed.

Our 4.5 Star Review

Tao is stuck injured and trapped in his wolf form and in a cage he has to hope that the sweet smelling woman won't decide to put him down. Aubrey wasn't expecting to see a naked man in the cage where the wolf she was taking care of used to be and she definitely wasn't expecting his story about the bite she received by another wolf to be a werewolf bite. Now she has to decide what to do with her world being turned upside down and Tao's insistence that he can help her. Tao wasn't expecting such a feisty woman to come to his rescue, but with the situation he's in town to deal with he'll have to figure out if they can help each other, if he can keep his hands off her that is.

Aubrey has curves and she's OKAY with them and that make her awesome, but she also has her values and no matter what she won't let anyone undermine even a sexy werewolf and that makes her a great heroine. Tao is an alpha male, a deliciously sexy one at that and while he does things his way he's not afraid to accept guidance from Aubrey when he can see the wisdom of what she says. I loved seeing these two work together and watch their story grow, and more than that the werewolf aspect was done beautifully. You are not left wondering what's going on and what ways the author is making this story hers you see the story she has created and are able to understand just what type of creature she has created no question such as "How did they do that? I don't remember reading about them being able to do that and suddenly they can?" I loved that about the book allot of time with shifter and werewolf type books you're scrambling to understand the story and that definitely is not the case here. Great read for romance and paranormal book lovers alike!

Our 3 Star Review

After having her heart broken Elora changes everything including moving to escape from her asshole ex. She stays at her Nana's home who is gone helping take care of a new grand baby. While there she merely survives until she becomes friends with her neighbor Thane. Is it just friendship or is there possibly more?

The basic storyline was okay if there would've been more depth to it. You got to know Elora and see who she is, but the confusion and inability for her and Thane to actually talk about their "relationship" nearly did me in. Throughout the story through misunderstandings and not talking about their feelings toward each other they caused one another so much grief. When trying to understand Thane's POV I was left wondering more about who he is and if he was military why he was working at a club it didn't make sense to me and it was never explained. Elora at least we understood and I liked seeing her growth especially over her feelings towards her relationship with her ex.

Overall this story left me wanting in many ways and questioning various things throughout.
