Oh my goodness, such a cute and adorable story! I love Sam and Gracie so much, I had to read this three more times. Their banter is hilarious. It was a refreshing break from my norm.
Never Date Your Brother's Best Friend by Jules Barnard

I'll be honest, this one took me a few days. I'm not sure if I just needed a change-up in the style/genre I was reading or a break from reading all together. I mean I tend to read book after book, I sort of have a love of literature problem, lol.
But I finally got back around to this and while it started really slow which was hard for me, in the end its a cute and sweet story. I adore it so much and is definitely one I know I'll be pulling from my shelves often for a reread.

Somebody to Cherish by April Wilson
4.0
I'm so torn on the necessity of this book within the Tyler Jameson series. There are some sweet, cute and character growth moments that I'm so here for.
But there is also a lot of unnecessary filler and descriptions. A part of me feels like book three could have been added to book two and parts of book two to book one.
Another thing is some of the inconsistencies and contradictory information. Like the Saphire night club in book 1 & 2 was the nightclub Ian and Tyler went to after Diablos which is owned by Roy Valdez. Yet in book three they reference Saphire as being owned by Valdez and Roy's family sold it.
That was just one of many things that was not carried through. I'm not sure if April Wilson was so caught up in the writing of book 3 she failed to remember these details or changed her mind about who owened Saphire. As an avid reader who pays attention to even the most miniscule detail it was something I couldn't miss.
Irregardless, I loved this series as a whole. I loved Tyler and Ian together as a couple as well as individuals. In many ways I could relate to Iam and his flight tendencies. Ian honestly was my favorite between the two. I laughed soo much at certain things Ian said or did while Tyler made me cry a little, happy tears of course, at how tender and sweet this big ole grizzly bear protector could be.
I say read book three because there are things you won't want to miss but know it is filled with fluff too so hang in there.
Oh and Brad Turner can suck it, that's all.

Lie to Me by Molly McAdams

We all need a Reed in our life. This mans is so patient and loving towards Emma, my traumatized heart melted.
This book took awhile to get through simply because I could put myself in many parts of Emma's traumas and childhood situations. It is just soooo good. It has it's tender moments and then bad assery strong independent women moments. It can be hard to really push through at first, but if you give it a chance the growth, love, and understanding between the two just ugh! I absolutely loved how Reed could see right through Emma's lies and kept pushing her to just keep lying. He never gave up on her once, even when his own heart was breaking at the hands of Emma.
I loved their sunrise dates. It was everything I needed a book to be.

Royal Bastard by Avery Flynn

I think the only thing I liked about this book was the bond formed between Brooke and Nick. Beyond that, this book well it won't be missed.
I feel rude saying this but it's very true. It was not my cup of tea. I love John Lane, he has narrated many books I've listened to/read, he couldn't save this one though.
