Review: Forever with You

Forever with You by J. Lynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

All of J. Lynn's books are amazing, but this may be her best yet! The book begins with Stephanie, a girl who just moved into town, making progress moving into her apartment. She has trouble moving boxes into her apartment, and Nick is the one who helps her out. Stephanie later goes to Mona's, the local bar, and finds Nick working. They have a one night stand, and they are supposed to be well on their way out of their lives; however, something happens so they have to get together again.

Stephanie has never been in love, but that does not mean she does not believe in it. Her past comes up, again and again, that makes her scared of love. Even when Nick falls straight into her lap, she does not recognize that this is true love. Nick as well has a past that permits him from staying in a relationship; he is known to have flings, and nothing more, and just like Stephanie, he is scared to be in a relationship. But, for the first time, he sees something in Stephanie that he has not noticed in a girl before. “As long as I've known him, he's never been serious about anyone. He's probably going to need a substantial learning curve when it comes to not saying things that are going to pi** you off.”

Sure enough, Nick and Stephanie get back together after their one-night stand. Stephanie falls for him but is scared that he does not feel the same way about her. Nick, too, is scared to love Stephanie, because he felt the connection from the first time they met, but is he able to convince her that he loves her?“Nick seemed to sense just when I needed him. Even if he was asleep, his arms would tighten around me, sometimes, when my recklessness woke him, he would talk to me until I fell back asleep, distracting me with some of the crazy things he'd seen while working at Mona's. He was simply there for me, and I let him in completely. And there was no denying how much I loved this man.”

This book has so many plot twists (in a good way), and even though there are MANY sad moments, there are also funny, laugh out loud ones. If someone is looking for a heartwarming, sad, laughable romance, this is the one for you!

Review: Easy

Easy by Tammara Webber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

"He watched her, but never knew her. Until, thanks to a chance encounter, he became her savior". The book begins with Jacqueline, a college bass player, who bails out of a Halloween party and almost gets raped by a "friend" of hers; Lucas/Landon/Mr. Maxfield comes to her rescue and saves her. Between Jacqueline and Lucas, an instant attraction radiates, and when Lucas vanishes (or so it seems), Jacqueline is all in to find this mystery guy. She soon finds out that Lucas is in her econ class (but not as a student); once their attraction begins, it is only a matter of time for them to become completely head over heels for each other. However, his dark past and her bright future threaten to tear them apart. Together, they fight the pain and guilt, finding the true power of love. "Love is not the absence of logic but logic examined and recalculated hated and curved to fit inside the contours of the heart".
