Review: Going Too Far

Going Too Far by Jennifer Echols
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book that I have read from this author, but I am eager to read her other novels. Going Too Far is a powerful romantic novel that persuades to the reader that true love can begin anywhere, with anyone(even if that means in a cop car with a cop and a criminal). The book begins with Meg, and all she has ever wanted to do is to get away; away from her high school, parents, and away from her life. And one crazy evening involving a "dare and forbidden railroad tracks, she goes way too far... and almost doesn't make it back". John(a cop). who made a choice to stay in this hometown, is the individual who helps Meg escape a near death situation, and forbids her to spend spring break with her friends. Instead, he requires that Meg will spend a week(spring break) with him, teaching Meg a lesson that she will never forget. Meg pushes him to the limit in the span of 5 days, questioning everything he learned t the police academy. He soon pushes back, and they drive each other over the edge; is it too far for John and Meg, or is it just enough for them to confess their love? This novel has just the amount of heart, humor, and rebelliousness, and it is truly a must read.

Review: Beautiful Secret

Beautiful Secret by Christina Lauren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is the second to last book in the Beautiful Series. Countless authors and critics have applauded this piece of literature, and it is truly a masterpiece. The book begins with Ruby Miller, and her boss announces that he is sending her on an extended business trip with her long time crush, Niall Stella. To Ruby, Niall is the complete package, which includes being "the hottest man alive". Spending a month alongside her crush, and almost certain that Niall has no idea who she is, she keeps her cool (somewhat), and makes it seem like two coworkers rather than an ongoing crush. Until their "flirty overnight flight makes him sit up and take notice". Niall is recently divorced, however, and he describes himself as hopeless when it comes to women. Is Niall willing to take a leap for Ruby? And if he does, will their relationship continue after the month long trip? This book has sass, humor, heart, and the perfect amount of romance. It is truly a must read!

Color Squared by Lee Meredith

This activity book is a way to "Color, Dot, Dash, or Stamp your way to awesome pixel art"! This book features an introduction, in which gives one DETAILED step by step instructions, and supplies needed in order for your pixel art to reach its full potential. In addition, this book features pixel art that one can do that includes rubix cubes,  baseball mitt, sunflowers, books, and many more images that one would find in their parents closet. Coloring with individual squares, each numbered 1-5, adds shadow and depth to your picture, so you will end up with art that looks 3-dimensional and photographic. In addition to the actual drawings one is able to complete, it also includes practice grids. The individual pages are perforated so you can hang it up, and tear it out with ease. Overall, I would surely spend $14.99 for this pixel art book.

Review: Beautiful Stranger

Beautiful Stranger by Christina Lauren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beautiful Stranger is the sequel to the Beautiful Bastard series. From book one, I was absolutely obsessed. Beautiful Bastard elaborates on the love story of Chloe and Bennett, but this second novel elaborates on the romance of Sara Dillon and Max Stella. Sara Dillon just moved to New York City, and she "is looking for excitement and passion without a lot of strings attached". She just ended a relationship with Andy, who cheated and lied to her, and Sara is not ready for a relationship; until she meets British Max Stella. and Max Stella is known in the whole city that he loves women, but he has never found one to keep around, until Sara Dillon. Sara and Max hook up the night they meet at the dance club, and once they are together, there is no way to separate them. For weeks and weeks, Sara and Max hook up "in places where anybody could catch them", and soon after, they are ready to take things further. Sara and Max, on their own terms, have faced facts that what they share is not lust(although that was what brought them together), but true love. However, when rumors and lies are spread about, this is the deciding factor for Max and Sara to really take the chance at true love. This novel, and the ones before and after it, are sexy, smart, riveting, and are novels that are able to be finished in a matter of mere hours. This book, and the series are for those who love a "smart plot" and just simply love a romance novel.
