Sweet Reckoning - Wendy Higgins (The Sweet Trilogy #3)

Published Date: April 29, 2014
Genre: Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Young Adult/Romance
Synopsis: It’s time. 

Evil is running rampant and sweet Anna Whitt is its target. Nobody knows when or how the Dukes will strike, but Anna and her Nephilim allies will do anything necessary to rid the earth of the demons and their oppressive ways.

The stakes are higher than ever, and Anna is determined that the love she feels will be her strength, not a liability. But trying to protect the ones she loves while running for her life and battling demonic forces proves to be perilous—especially as faces are changing and trust is fleeting. When the Duke of Lust sends Anna’s great love, Kaidan Rowe, to work against her, Anna must decide how much she’s prepared to risk.

In the most sensual and fast-paced installment yet, Sweet Reckoning brings all the beloved Neph together one last time to fight for their freedom.

Honestly, one of the saddest thing an author can do to you is complete the series and make all of the characters go away. But this book was a fantastic and bittersweet conclusion to The Sweet trilogy and although I am sad to see Kaidan, Jay, Blake, Kopano all going away, I loved this nonetheless.

This is a must-read book series. I read each of the books within a day and a half. I swooned and cried over the guys within the books especially Kaidon and his British accent and the tragic love stories all mixed in together.

I cannot wait for Sweet Temptation to be released within eight days because it tells all three books within Kaidan's POV and who wouldn't want a beautiful British accent narrating his life? The release date is September 8, 2015.

Their romance is unbeatable and I always, ALWAYS, love a great love story especially as great as Anna and Kaidan. Even Wendy Higgins epilogue made me tear up because of how sweet it turns out to be and ever since Sweet Peril, Kope and Zania were an ultimate power couple.

I rate this book another 5 out of 5 stars and I am not ashamed to say it because this book is one of the ultimate love stories of overcoming challenges since Romeo and Juliet as well as Jennifer L. Armentrout's book. Another reason why I loved this series is because of the whole fact that it wasn't too graphic but it was powerful enough to feel everything.

Also, mentioning Jennifer L. Armentrout, thanks to her publisher and herself for giving us a chance to buy a signed copy of Forever with You on GoodChoice Reading. You can buy it here and remember it is an INTERNATIONAL as well: BUY IT HERE.

I hope to be reviewing The Accident Season - Moira Fowley-Doyle and Secret - Brigid Kemmerer very soon.

Thanks for reading and I'll blog you later, awesome book nerds.

Storm - Brigid Kemmerer (Elemental Series #1)

Published Date: April 24, 2012
Genre: Young Adult/Fantasy

Synopsis: Earth, Fire, Air, Water – they have more power than you dream.

Ever since her ex-boyfriend spread those lies about her, Becca Chandler is suddenly getting all the guys—all the ones she doesn't want. Then she saves Chris Merrick from a beating in the school parking lot. Chris is different. Way different: he can control water—just like his brothers can control fire, wind, and earth. They’re powerful. Dangerous. Marked for death.

And now that she knows the truth, so is Becca.

Secrets are hard to keep when your life’s at stake. When Hunter, the mysterious new kid around school, turns up with a talent for being in the wrong place at the right time, Becca thinks she can trust him. But then Hunter goes head-to-head with Chris, and Becca wonders who’s hiding the most dangerous truth of all.

The storm is coming . . .
 


I do have to say that this book was interesting. You have two main characters: Becca Chandler and Chris Merrick.


As if she has never had the attention from a guy before, she blushes at every single damn thing. Honestly, every other word I read was, she blushed at this and that. The Merrick brothers however hot and cold that they run, they are officially all on my book boyfriends list. The problem with book boyfriends is that they set up an unrealistic standard of being perfect to the guys you see every day in real life. If I could live my life in a book, I would most definitely choose that.


When the New Kid shows up and helps her out in an iffy and difficult situation, she falls hard for him. But not just him but the youngest Merrick brother, Chris. She flips back and forth because she cannot make a decision on who is the best for her. 


The story-line was good, the main girl who was supposed to be a heroine, not so much. Boys kept coming to her rescue although, she did have her moments. I really wish this book could be a solid 5 out of 5 stars but at most I can rate it a solid 3.7 stars out of 5. The writing style was awkward and you had to re-read several parts to understand that Kemmerer was switching POV's but not the chapter.

Kitty Doe is a Blackcoat rebel and a former captive with a deadly connection to the most powerful and dangerous man in the country, Prime Minister Daxton Hart. Forced to masquerade as Daxton's niece, Lila Hart, Kitty has helped the Blackcoats take back the prison known as Elsewhere. But Daxton has no intention of ceding his position of privilege—or letting Kitty expose his own masquerade. Not in these United States, where each person's rank means the difference between luxury and poverty, freedom and fear...and ultimately, between life and death.

To defeat the corrupt government, Kitty must expose Daxton's secret. Securing evidence will put others in jeopardy, including the boy she's loved forever and an ally she barely trusts. For months, Kitty's survival has hinged on playing a part. Now she must discover who she truly wants to be, and whether the new world she and the rebels are striving to create has a place in it for her after all.

Then a secret brings them closer, opening Steph's eyes to a future she never knew she wanted—until tragedy rips it away.

Nick's self-assured surface shields a past no one needs to know about. His mind-blowing connection with Steph changes all that. As fast as he's knocking down the walls that have kept him commitment-free, she's building them up again, determined to keep the hurt—and Nick—out. But he can't walk away. Not when she's the only one who's ever made him wish for forever . . .

Every Last Breath - Jennifer L. Armentrout (The Dark Elements #3)

Published Date: July 28, 2015
Genre: Sci-Fi/Fantasy
Synopsis: Some loves will last ’til your dying breath

Every choice has consequences—but seventeen-year-old Layla faces tougher choices than most. Light or darkness. Wickedly sexy demon prince Roth, or Zayne, the gorgeous, protective Warden she never thought could be hers. Hardest of all, Layla has to decide which side of herself to trust.


Layla has a new problem, too. A Lilin—the deadliest of demons—has been unleashed, wreaking havoc on those around her…including her best friend. To keep Sam from a fate much, much worse than death, Layla must strike a deal with the enemy while saving her city—and her race—from destruction.


Torn between two worlds and two different boys, Layla has no certainties, least of all survival, especially when an old bargain comes back to haunt them all. But sometimes, when secrets are everywhere and the truth seems unknowable, you have to listen to your heart, pick a side—and then fight like hell…


Happy BELATED Book Birthday to 
Every Last Breath - Jennifer L. Armentrout

My books that have been signed by Jennifer L. Armentrout are increasing and I cannot be any happier. I got the entire book series from one of her giveaways with Damaris.

I rate this book a solid 5 out of 5 stars and I wish there was a way that I could rate this even higher. I loved the fact that Jennifer L. Armentrout did not wait until the end to show us who Layla chose and I loved their plot line together. They engaged in many of the activities that both made them feel alive. Already, both of the guys, Roth and Zayne were part of my book boyfriends list.

Do read this book and I will be back with another review of Rebels: City of Indra - Kendall & Kylie Jenner and Maya Sloan and Mister Monday - Garth Nix.

Blog you later awesome book nerds.

Synopsis: 
Sometimes life leaves a mark…

Most days, Andrea doesn’t know whether she wants to kiss Tanner or punch him in the gut. He is seriously hot, with legit bedroom eyes and that firefighter body of his, but he’s a major player, and they can’t get along for more than a handful of minutes. Until now.

Tanner knows he and Andrea have had an epic love/hate relationship for as long as he can remember, but he wants more love than hate from her. He wants her. Now. Tomorrow. But the more he gets to know her, the more it becomes obvious that Andrea has a problem. She’s teetering on the edge and every time he tries to catch her, she slips through his fingers.

Andrea’s life is spiraling out of control, and it doesn’t matter that Tanner wants to save her, because when everything falls apart and she’s speeding toward rock bottom, only she can save herself.

Sometimes life makes you work for that happily ever after…
 

I am just excited to read this book because Armentrout is just as excited and also says that it is something that hits very close to home for herself. 

Thanks readers!
