Musings & Melodies by Rebecca Yarros

 

OMG THIS SERIES IS AMAZING!! We have Rebecca Yarros coming in with the finale that stars Nixon and BLOWS ME WAY. This series snuck on me. It blew down the doors of a "typical" rockstar romance and floored me with the amount of FEELS and grit that surrounded me while reading. I truly LOVE this series. I completely connected with all of the characters, and felt their love, heartbreak, devotion, and friendship...these authors did an incredible job of writing each story with it's own flare, and tragedy, personal to each character, in a way that melded them altogether but let them stand alone as well. Read this series. Jonas, Quinn and NIXON will own you. They will completely win you over and make you want do deeply for them. I LOVE THIS BOOK. Read it. xo

Bittersweet by Jessica Prince

 

I truly do not know how to write another review that simply states I love Jessica Prince. Her characters attach to my heart and don't let go, right from page one. Even earlier, because you usually meet them in earlier glimpses. She simply writes a beautiful, easy to connect to romance that has heart, loyalty, hurt and all the FEELS. I devour them in hours, EVERY TIME. This story was no different. Hearts broken, bad choices led to years apart, but a man on a mission and girl that never stopped loving him = 5 Star goodness people. I love this series and can not wait for more. Second chance romance that will own you. Read it. xo 

Out of Love by Jewel E. Ann

 

6 STARS

Okay here I go again, trying to write a review that encompasses the amount with which I loved this book. Words are used in this book that infuriate, connect, make me smile, evoke feelings from 0-100, broke my heart, mended it, fell in love with a dog, fell in love with a monster, made me want to surf (and I DO NOT do oceans, there's a story behind it) and completely fall head over heels with every single character within the pages...and yet I can't articulate it. I've said it before, but it needs repeating...Jewel E. Ann is mutha fn genius. Her books are different, masterfully written gems right there on Amazon waiting for all the readers. She baits you with intelligent banter, fools you into thinking your reader heart is safe, when in reality danger lurks for all your FEELS, all while making you fall in love with fictional characters that you know have to be real. GENIUS. I swear. Out of Love is a branch off of one of my very favorite series EVER, the Jack and Jill Series and it has the same suspense, meaning, love, and protective loyalty that made me fall in love with the series to begin with. Twist, turns, bad guys, good guys and everything in between. If you have yet to experience it, DO IT NOW. You will not regret a second of it. This series is awe inspiring, intelligently written, bad assness that falls under the category of MUST READ NOW. Thank you JEA for spoiling us with your words. Keep that shit up. xo

Rifts & Refrains by Devney Perry

 

5 STARS

Holy female rockstar!! I fn loved this book. I didn't think I would fully connect to the female being the rocker BUT I WAS SO WRONG. This book was so much more than a rocker love story. The family dynamics, the heartfelt wrongs that were made, the justifications and placating that occured. Nine years of heartbreak stood before her in the first few pages and I felt it, completely. Graham and Quinn had amazing chemistry and angst that oozed from the story. Even when they were not being honest with themselves you felt the ache. Devney Perry created a love story that went beyond the two main characters, the surrounding players all added a part in who Quinn had become, who they created her to be in their own mind, who she was allowing herself to be. For so long she had hidden her truths, her wants, her love for her family and with one event it all came crashing toward her. This story completely spoke to me. I devoured it within hours, I bonded with every single person introduced in the journey and I so want more. It started with Jonas, which I loved. It continued with Quinn who I completely fell head over heels for and we will wrap up with Nixon, and I for one can't wait to see what his demons are going to lead us. This series is a MUST read. xo

Ryder by Prescott Lane

 

4 STARS

I totally enjoyed this story. I love a good meet cute, CHECK. Love a broken musician, who doesn't believe in love, CHECK. And I adore a WTF I am pregnant (lived it 4X lol) moment, CHECK. Kailey and Ryder were IT from the first food truck they ventured to and found a way back to each other. Kailey was great for me until one little part, she frustrated me a little beyond my reader frustration meter usually goes, but she redeems herself so all was good. I am always rooting for the broken bad boy that has a past that has defined him. The kind that can be shown the way with the love and adoration of "the one" and Ryder was amazing in this role. I found his broodiness rather hot actually. And Kailey's love for him was the connection that I needed to find my way quickly through this story. I totally enjoyed the journey. And can't wait to read more from this author. My second book of hers and they both spoke to me...win win. xo
